receptions by governors of the various
states and holding of motor transport
days, parades, local celebrations, ETC.
1t is felt by those close to the situ-
alton in Washington that the war de-
partment's authorization of the trans
continental convoy is one of the best
recommendation which could pos
sibly have been presented to congress
by the war department for the prompt
passage of the Townsend highway bill.
This bill, introduced by Senator Chas.
E. Townsend of Michigan, provides
for the immediate establishment of a
federal highway commission of three
experts to be appointed by the presi-
dent and appropriates $425,000,000 for
the construction of an adequate main
system of federal highways to be laid
out by the commission and construct
ed by the government and to consti-
tute at least 2 per cent of the existing
highway mileage of the United States.
The report of the motor transport
corps to the general staff in connec-
ton with the trip states "The widest
possible publicity should be given to
the transcontinental motor convoy
This is essential in order that the pur-
poses OF the project should be fully
realized" ~.
The Lincoln Highway association
asks the cooperation of all the high
way organizations and good roads as
sociations in the country in bringing
the purposes of this trip and it's re-
suits fully to the attention of it's men,
bership and to the American public.
The press is especially requested to
give the fullest possible notice to this
epoch making trip.
The war department announces the
equipment which will constitute the
convoy to be as follows:
