President Avery outlined the pur-
poses and objects OF the association
This association is just a little more
than a year old, he said. and the
plan for a highway connecting Hot
| Springs and Colorado Springs was
rather by accident II was at first
proposed that We merely improve our
roads in Tulsa county. A former gov
ernor vas with the party, and said
that the road should be extended fur
Their and given the title Of the Albert
Pike highway We then proposed that
it would extend to Fort Smith, and on
west 10 Colorado Springs Then at
one oil our conventions your Mr. vii
iams and Mr. Callahan wanted 1t 90
come on and connect the two great
lresorts, and We acquiesed
I've should make a great highway
OF this because # connects one win
ter resort with one summer resort,
and because the land that lies be
tween s. the richest in the world, The
road extends along the base on the
Arkansas river. and river land is al
ways rich. All that We want you peo
pic in Hot Springs to do is to make
I your own part OF the road We wlll
furnish The people to travel over it,
| The people of Oklahoma have the
money, end are restless for travel. One
| day last summer in Colorado Springs
there were 700 cars from Tulsa there
on a single day Excelsior Springs
also gets a large percentage from
lOhahoma
This road has no branches II in
tersects With other roads, but it is
10. be a highway from Hot Springs
- Colorado Springs, and these are
the points We want to reach. our plan
also looks to the maintenance Of the
road as Well as its building. The road
for he most part will be a good dirt
Highway In some places it will be
a paved roadway Every mile of road
lin Tulsa county will soon be paved
with the best material that money
can BUY
| Some time before May | We will
g. ovl the road and designate l.
lfully and mark it. and then We viii
establish vigilance committees along
tie whole Of the route TO see that
Iovery piece OF road that is built is
maintained properly. Too much money
is wasted in building roads and then
leaving them to waste, and we want
to demonstrate to the people of Ar
kansas the value Of maintaining every
foot OF good road that is built
