FIFTH ANNUAL ROAD SCHOOL
BIG Yearly Event to Be Held at Mad
ison. Jan. 81 to Feb. 5.

Big Yearly Event to Be Held at Mad
ison, Jan. 81 to Feb. 5.
The Fifth Annual Road School of the
Wisconsin Highway Commission, which
has become a fixture of interest to hun
d1eds interested in road and bridge
construction and maintenance, will be
held in the Assembly Chamber at Mad
ison on January 81 to February 5, in
elusive. At these meetings there is dis
cussed practically every vital question
concerning the various types OF roads
and bridges; methods, machinery and
tools used in construction and mainte-
nance as we'll as the state highway law
and it's requirements and provisions.
Owing to the creation Of the new
county road and bridge committees, and
to the increased state wide interest in
the subject of road construction and
maintenance, it is expected that the at
tendance at the coming road school will
surpass that of any previous year, al
though the Wisconsin Road Schools
have always been more largely attended
than have similar meetings in other
states.
For convenience, closely allied prob
lens have been placed on the program
for discussion the same day. Monday
will be Reception Day; Tuesday, Ad-
ministration Day; Wednesday, Con-
struction Day; Thursday, Maintenance
Day; Friday, Miscellaneous Problems,
(being also County Highway Commits
sioners' Day.; Saturday, Contracts and
Accounting.
Any citizen of Wisconsin, whether
officially connected with state aid road
work or not is invited and welcomed
at all sessions While the program is
designed especially to meet the needs of
county highway commissioners, county
committees, and road fOremen, at the
same time contractors, engineers, and
CITY officials have found much to inter-
est them in the program and exhibits.
The exhibit of road machinery and
tools, always feature of the road
schools, will probably be even more
complete than usual.
