GOOD ROADS
FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by Chairman oiehI for Great National Congress to
 Be Held in Washington.

"CnqueStionably the time has ar rived for a great national road cen gross to be held once a year in the national capital under federal govern ment direction" asserts George C. Diehl. chairman of the American Au- tomobile association good roads board.
 This gathering in Washington would be under the auspices of the United States office of public roads and rural engineering of the depart ment of agriculture" continues Mir. Diehl, "and the event could be made most comprehensive in its scope; there could be complete exhibit of road machinery and road materials; there could be sample construction of vari- Ous kinds of highways; road schools could be conducted for state, county and town engineers, and various tech nical phases of the work could be set forth by trained experts who would gladly attend such great gOOd-rOads event.
 Then there would come the interre- lated phases of road travel, and road transportation. Undoubtedly the de- partment of the interior, because of it's national parks, would set forth the scenic attractions which are under government supervision. Various states would be given opportunity of adver- tising their attractions.
 "The good-roads board believes in state highway conventions which are generally called for a specific purpose In the endeavor to concentrate the ef- forts of road enthusiasts for definite ends. These state meetings are of in calcuaDle value. for tie state is the political subdivision which must carry on by far the greatest burden of future road construction and maintenance.
 With the vast amount of funds be- ing expended throughout the country, the government of the highway depart ments is becoming largely q question of scientific management, and 1t is be- lieved that if the county were the smallest unit of administration greater efficiency would result. The numerous state gOOd-rOads meetings converged into a great national congress once a year. held in the national capital, 1t is believed would be the best way of handling the changed highway situa- ton, and the government could proper
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-09-10

ly assume the obligation resulting from the management of this great na- tional event.
 'The time has arrived when high. way conventions should have more of an official character. There should be q good-roads meeting in every town ship in the United States at least once q year, held under the charge Of the chief highway official of the township. There should be at least one county meeting held every year In each coun- ty, under the charge of the county en- gineer or the chief highway official. There should be one state meeting in each state each year, under the charge of the state highway commits sion. Then the local automobile clubs. the good roads associations and others could cooperate in these conventions as their interest and location war ranted. The township, county and state meetings should be held before the national meeting. so that at each of the smaller gatherings delegates could be named to go to the national convention. which In reality would be a great good roads school, lasting for one week or two weeks, In the city of Washington, under the charge of the most important highway official of the country. namely, the federal authority in charge of governmental expenditure"
