retary OF the North Dakota Good
Roads association, and N. K. Craig,
of the state highway commissions
engineering staff, who returned from
there today. #'t-
The meeting was preliminary to a
campaign for the state association In
Stark county. a.
Stark county favors good roads and
most Of the counties in the state can
take tips from Stark, according to
those who have inspected the method
OF road construction and maintenance
used there.
The development of better roads in
Stark county has been carried on as
business proposition. A study Of
the, results was presented at the
Dickinson meeting by the secretary
of the county association, based on
tests Of cost OF hauling grain and
other products on good roads and bad
roads. The study showed the saving
effected in hauling by goods roads.
Maintains Roads +
Stark county not, only builds roads
but does that which many counties
do not do-really maintains them.
Charles Offet, superintendent Of high
ways, is employed the year round to
supervise the maintenance of the
roads. Over 200 miles of improved
roads are under his supervision. One
of the most modern pieces, of ma
chinery, recently purchased by the
county, is scraper which will work
80 miles of road in one day.
Stark county was to let a contract
for a five and one-half mile state aid
project extending toward New Eng
land, but the work will be deferred
until next year because of the cost
entailed by the necessity of construct
ing two bridges. The road will be
built next year.
Other Meetings ..t.
S. r. May. president Of the auto
mobile association, presided at the
Dickinson meeting. Among the speak.
ers, were Chairman John Lob, of the
county good roads association, r. w:
Turner, director Of the state asso-
ciation. Mr.. Holbein and MF. Craig
were the principal speakers.
A good roads association meeting
will be held at Ashley on May 30 and
