of all good roads advocates concerned
to hold joint congress during the
exposition.
Both organizations are requested
by two members on the executive
committee, the fifth member having
been elected by the other four. The
selection of Governor Gates as the fifth
member is felt to be peculiarly fortu-
nate, not only on account of his Off
cial position and his ability and fair
ness, but because of the fact that he.
for ten years or more, was the state
highway commissioner of Vermont,
and it was due to his record in this
office that he was elected governor
by one of the largest majorities ever
given a governor in that state.
This election to the governorship
is one of the highest tributes ever
paid to a road builder, and SO far as
known is the first instance on record
Of such recognition.
