BETTERMENT OF
BOROUGH ROADS
WILL BE URGED
William Penn Association Will
Discuss Action Which
Should Be Taken

William Jennings, president of the
William Penn Highway Association,
and M. II. James, secretary, will leave
o-night for Pittsburgh to attend to-
mcrrow's meeting of the William
Penn road governors from the IA
counties along the route. In all likeli-
hood they will be joined here by ]. G.
Fl. Rippman of Millerstown, w. L.
Plack of Philadelphia and II. NJ.
Minker of Reading, members of the
board.
Among the questions to be taken up
by the board arc two which deal with
road conditions: Should the highway
association take action to compel
borough authorities to keep up the
streets within their boundaries =?
Should the association proceed
against toll road owners who fail to
keep their property in repair, but who
insist on collecting toll?
During the last two weeks the as
sociation secretary has received many
complaints about the condition of
streets in a number of pennsylvania
boroughs as we'll as the condition of a
toll ROAD in the eastern part of the
State. There is plenty of law whereby
these authorities may be compelled
to make needed repairs.
The board will also make plans
for the publicity campaign which is
to call attention to the William Penn
Highway as the most desirable east
west route through Pennsylvania
and in this connection it will also urge
the construction of laterals leading
to the Penn way. 1t may also be de-
cided to engage in a general good
roads publicity campaign to include
every county in Pennsylvania.
