be willing to put much more money
into good roads where they are needed
Therefore, the matter of administering
this law, of devising good road sys-
TENS, Of careful selection of roads, of
formulating projects, Of developing
plans and specifications. of having al
matters considered on their merit by
competent men, seem TO me TO lie at
the root of this business
If. as the result of this act. the
people are induced fully to realize the
necessity of placing skillful and ex
perienced men in charge of road build
ing and road maintenance, a great ad-
vance will have been made and the
efforts of those who labored to Sc
cure the legislation will have been re-
warded."
Unofficially, there were also present
at the conference men prominent IN
the road movement and Identified with

It is rather significant as indicar-
ing the desire of the several states to
have road connections with one an
other that at the meeting Of the Amer
lean Association of State highway Off
Gals held the day previous to the con-
ference il was unanimously adopted
as the sentiment of the meeting that
should be expended upon the main
roads.
Secretary Houston has borrowed
from the state Of California its chief
engineer, Austin 3. Fletcher. to aid
director Logan Waller Page in a con-
sulting capacity in the launching Of
the federal aid road work. Mr.. Fletcher
was chief engineer with the Nassachu-
sets state highway commission fO-
many years. following which he had
charge Of the building of the superb
county road system of San Diego
county. and has now nearly completed,
as state engineer Of California, the
S1S.0O0.0O0 state highway system. The
experience which he has thus gained
in both eastern and western states is
expected TO prove invaluable to the
government through giving to the fed
eral officials q clearer insight into
the matter from the standpoint of the
states.
