Good Roads Meeting

The annual meeting of the Ken
lucky Highway Engineers Assoc CT
alton, formerly the County Read
Engineers Association of Kentucky
will be held at Greensboro, Ken
lucky, on November I2,h, 18th and
I4th, 1918.
Previous meetings have always been
held IN February but the officers of
the association decided to change
the date of meeting for two reas
Ons:
First, on account OF bad we. ther
conditions it has always. been almost
impossible TO inspect the roads.
We feel that opportunity should be
given all the members to see roads
during the good weather so that we
all may learn more of what consti-
tutes a good road. Past meetings
have not been of the greatest benefit
because inspection trips could not
be arranged,
Second a radical change has been
made IN the program. Instead of
the usual speeches indoors it Is plan
ned to have ali speaking done out
doors. The speech on "Gravel
Roads, will be delivered right on
gravel road. The speech on Maca
dam Roads, will be delivered right
on that kind of road and history
Of that particular road will be given.
An members will be driven in auto
mobiles to the various roads. The
members will be told how TO build
concrete bridges and small blldge
will be built while the speaker ex
plains how the concrete should be
mixed and how the steel should be
Llaced. The various methods Of
repairing roads will be explained
while the Davies County teams and
machines actually do the work.
Davies County has all kinds of
roads from gravel to macadam rock
asphalt and BRICK within easy reach
of Greensboro.
The county owns and operates the
most complete road building outfit
In the State. Sixty head of mules,
several 70 lers, many graders, etc.
An exhibition Of all this outfit at
work will be given.
