eauty spots of their own common

beauty spots of their own common
wealth.
In his statement the Governor said:
We have received reports from
substantially all sections of the Com
monwealth and have ascertained the
fact that everywhere there was en-
thuSiaStic acceptance of the request to
observe Good Roads Day and a spirit
of earnest endeaVor on the part of our
people to help make the roads good.
This was precisely what l had
hoped would be the result of the
proclamation and l wish to thank all
the good people of the Commonwealth
who gave thought and time and labor
to this enterprise. IL was a success
beyond my expectations and demon
strates conclusively that the people of
this state want good roads and has
convinced me that they shall have
them TO the extent of the resources
at the command of the administration.
When once we have had constructed
throughout this Commonwealth good
roads, II will attract thousands of vis-
itors to Pennsylvania, and when they
Hee this grand old Commonwealth
they will love it as some of us now do,
for it is the fairest land the sun
shines on.
Moreover it will make our own
citizens better acquainted with our
beauty, its great possibilities. and it
will enable our farmers and manufac-
turers to carry to the markets of the
world the products of their enterprise
at minimum cost to themselves.
we ought to have as many Good
Roads Days as we have time and en-
terprise to devote to this matter and
should like particularly now to ask
every wide-awake citizen of the Com
monwealth to report any condition,
either in the roads themselves or in
the treatment of the roads by those
who work upon them officially, that
is not satisfactory. in order that we
may turn our attention to giving to the
people the best possible return for
their money
IF we had a vigilance committee in
every part of this Commonwealth and
meetings of our people to discuss good
roads, it would be easy to devise the
means and secure the funds to make
highways in all directions and opening
up every part of this Commonwealth
for the best possible enjoyment and
use, not only of the stranger who
comes within our gates, but of the
citizen who abides here and whose
welfare is contingent in a large way
upon good avenues of approach for
himself and his family to the cities
and markets of their Commonwealth"
