shown more enthusiasm than any
other like organization, and that is
the reason that the vote of those of

was suggested at meeting of the
executive committee held last even
ing in the Kibler hotel, that the
membership today take a vote upon
the routing of this highway from
Gainesville to connecting point
with the already designated Dixie
Highway, and that the association
pass such resolutions as they deem
proper, mailing copies to the two
Florida commissioners and to the
Dixie Highway Association, and to
urge upon the press and the citizen
ship of the state the necessity of
supporting the decision of the rout-
ing of the Dixie Highway made By
the Central Florida Highway Asso-
citation, and Furthermore that this
organization stand by such reports
as adopted today, and assist in every
possible way to have theroute named
as outlined at this meeting.
The executive committee recon-
mends to the association the amend
ment that has been mailed to all the
members, calling for the striking out
of the committee known as CONNER

mittee on Highway Beutifcation.
