WOMEN FAVOR BETTER ROADS
Townsend Bill Endorsed by General
Federation Of Women's Clubs
at Salt Lake Meeting.

Evidence of the widespread inter.
est in good highways was shown at
the recent meeting of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs at Salt
Lake City. In endorsing the Town
send bill for national highways, now
before congress, Mrs. John Dickinson
Sherman of Chicago, chairman of the
department Of applied education. said I:
ut is not necessary for us TO point
out the real interest of American
women in highway matters. The in
tiuence of real highways on country
life, on economics, on education, Is now
generally understood. What is needed
Is national highway policy which will
conserve government funds, and,
through concentration Of federal
money on main highways, will give
US connected system at the earliest
moment and the least expense"

during tie months the State board Is

The park board desires TO take over
the grounds and by adding certain
touches in the way of Identification and
equipment, make 1t into q park to serve

The city would pay the maintenance cost
and the State would get the benefit Of
more beautiful grounds for the State
fair, the promoters say.
Mr. Lowry said he believed the fair
ground could be made the greatest ath-
letic center in the West. The grove
would form an ideal picnic spot and
the amphitheater, Coliseum and Manu-
facturers' Building would provide large
facilities for community recreation work.
