Hon. James B. holland,
Secretary of State,
Denver, Colo,
My Dear SIR
Acknowledging and thanking you
for your reply of March 25th, 1918.
The question of ample transporta-
ton facilities to carry on our war en-
deavors and to transport the products
of the field and manufacturer, is still
one for solution. Placing our rail-
roads under centralized control has
already shown results. This will have
to be supplemented however, by in
creased transportation over our high
ways.
Every effort should and will be made
to stimulate the use of the highways
as means of transportation. The
motor truck, the passenger automobile
and horse-drawn vehicles should all
be given encouragement, and no re-
strictive measures should be taken
against any of same, as the use of the
highways is our only solution of the
great problem of transportation dur
ing the war.
We thank you for your good CO.
operation,
Yours very truly,

GOOD ROADS ESSENTIAL EVEN
IN STRESS OF WAR TINES
The National Council of Defense Calls
Attention to Need Of Highways in
The Scheme of War Activity.

One Of the activities of our country,
which seems by mutual consent to be
considered as necessary to successful
conduct of the war, is that of trans
portation. Accordingly the matter
Of good roads is receiving almost as
much attention as before the war, al
though of course, the new roads which
are to be built must fit directly into
the moving of crops and rapid trans
action of business.
This idea is set forth in letter, a
copy of which the county commission
ers have received this week.
