nGtlner Is one Of the pioneers and
leaders in the good roads propa-
Ganda. Under his leadership there
has been an awakening of good roads
sentiment In Louisiana, which, while
ut In its infancy. promises results
Of the most beneficial character now
that the State and the Government
are jointly responsible for the much
needed financial backing to start the
work.
