Plea for Earmern

John W. Warrtck, president OF the
Washington Auto club, was the next
speaker. lie gave as his opinion that
this is one OF the most important
roads Of the state and one that should
be improved as IL Is travelled as much
as any other east or west Not only
this but IL IL one of the most scenic
roads In the state of PENNSYLVANIA
He said that in its present condition
the road Is a blot TO the community
and route books that ara being sent "a
the members OF the club, warn them
TO abandon this section of the state
on account of the road. He urged that
immediate steps be taken 10 have this
road reconstructed and paved thus
making is compare with the roads of
other states. He also stated the ma
Jority OF automobiles are owned by
farmers and that more farmers own
machines than any other people in
the United States. He urged that the
farmers be given a chance TO get to
and from the cities. which at the
present time is practically impossible.
On account OF the condition OF the
road.
G. A. Robinson of the Ohio Valley
Automobile association, whose grand
father, Eli Williams, was one OF the en-
gineers on the construction OF the
road, gave an interesting talk. telling
OF its construction. Mr.. Robinson
said that in the 13I miles from Co
lumbus to Cumberland the worst five
miles laid between the West Virginia
state line and Claysville and that the
road in the eastern part of the state
Is in splendid condition.

Interesting Talks Delivered BY Men
From This Seetion-Road
Coruissioner Present

One OF the biggest good road dem
onstrations ever held ia eastern Penn
sylvania was that held yesterday
AFTERNOON az the auditorium OF the
Peoples Bank at West Alexander
The purpose Of the meeting WAS the
arouSing OF enthusiasm in the natter
OF repairing the old National Pike
from the West Virginia state line to
point about two miles east OF Clays-
VILE This Is said 20 be one OF the
worst sections OF the road ia the state
and IN order that prompt action could
De taken several state officials were
present and taken over II.
The meeting was called 20 order at
O'Clock with W. u. Gibson acting as
chairman. Mr.. Gibson delivered a
Lengthy talk. outlining the purpose OF
the meeting and telling of the condi-
ions OF The National Pike in other
places and OF repeated unsuccessful
efforts OF the residents and the board
OF trade OF West Alexander and Wash
ihgton 10 have II repaired. Mr. Gibson
said that several years ago the county
OF Washington made the proposition
that they would pave eight feet N the
remaining sixteen feet would be fin
ished by the state. This proposition
10, ,p some reason TEL through and since
mat time the road has been on the
decline and at the present time Is al
most impossible.
He then called on Thomas Hin.
member OF the Washington county
board OF commissioners who respond
ed with very interesting talk. Civ
ing the. reasons why the county had
done nothing toward repairing the
pike. Mr.. HIN said that according to
the laws of the state they had nothing
70 do with this road as IL is National
PIKE and must be kept up by the
state. He said they were powerless
TO do anything and that they must
ask and receive aid from the state II

Others Speak

A. +. Barnum of the Washington
Automobile club. Il. d. Naylor. secre-
tary OF the Wheeling Board of Trade.
John W. Hallman and NJ. l. Dunlap
talked along the line of the Others
stating that the road Is a monument
to the pioneers of the country and
should be kept up. If for no other
reason than a monument to them Mr.
Naylor gave as his opinion that IL
necessary the board of trade of West
Alexander should get behind the
movement and keep after the proper
authorities until some result is at
tanned.
ID. NJ. Campsey of CIaysvilale. who
nine years ago succeeded in getting
an appropriation of 100000 from the
Pennsylvania state legislature for the
improvement of this road told in de-
tail how the road had been left on
the decline. He also stated that as
the road would soon be paved as far
as the state line by the state OF West
Virginia. that he thought IL was up TO
the state highway commission OF
Pennsylvania to come across and put
their section in a corresponding con.
dition with those here and in Ohio.
DIR. ]. A. Sprowls OF DOnOra and W.
II. Watson of the Donora American
represented the people of that sec.
ton and said they would do all in
their power TO have the people of that
section take an active part in the
matter and help push the movement
along.
Commissioners Troubles.
Following these talks. Samuel ID.
Foster. chief assistant to State High
way Commissioner +. Biglow. told
OF the troubles OF his department and
gave some OF the reasons why the
much needed Improvement had not
been made. He said that two years
ago the Pennsylvania legislature ap-
propriated $2l 100000 more than was
allowed and that In this appropriation
there was 100000 for the betterment
Of road In this section. but on account
OF the over appropriation this was en-
tirely cut out, leaving nothing for
them 10 work on. He said that Wash
ington county has 40 miles Of this road
and 10 improve 10 would cost about
$4,000 q mile At the present time
improvements are being held up on ac-
count Of suits IN the courts pertaining
10 the money that is collected from
automobiles. He also said that ~ the
money was forthcoming that the need
ed improvements would no doubt be-
started within short time and that
