Good Roads Everywhere" is the
slogan of the National Highways
Association. 1t believes that the de-
velopment of good roads can best be
brought about by the National Gov
erument's building and maintaining
system of $4,000 miles of National
Highways connecting all the states
and principal cities of the union
The association has published a map
showing the tentative location of a
system of National Highways that
would directly serve more than sixty
cent Of the population Of the
United States.
Already several good roads organi.
cations have amalgamated with the
National Highways Association. The
National Ola Trails Road Association
and the Inter-Mountain Good Roads
Association have become depart
ments Of the national body, and the
Ohio Good Roads Federation, the
Great White Way Association, the
North Carolina Good Roads Associa.
ton. and the Pennsylvania Good
Rbads Association have become di-
visions it.
