a,sion nt the chamber, in which they
stated that they would leave en-
tirely TO, the people of Springfield
and those affected north and east
Of Springfield as to the designation
Of routes between Springfield and
S. Louis.
Before the latter resolution was
passed. the desires of both commit
tees were discussed. w. =. Sullivan
Of Billings. as spokesman for the
out-of-tOwn delegation. said that
they no longer asked the endorse
ment Of the Capital highway in its
entirety. but simply asked that the
route through the southwestern Mis-
souri, towns be approved.
Sol K. Wolf, president of the cham
Der OF commerce, presented the res
Olution which was adopted at the
meeting. Justice John S. Harrington
slsp spoke and advised that an agree
ment be reached between the cham
Der and the visiting delegation. Fol
lowing the first Capital highway
meeting, held here about week
ago, at which time the visiting dele
gates failed to agree with the local

connection TO the proposed highway
Is to be made. was taken up. There
was a common agreement among
those present that all southwest
Missouri must stand together in trg-
ipg that the condition of the Okla
homa road be improved. Several OF
those present took part in the dis
cussion ofFthe Oklahoma road and
the opinion of the majority seemed
TO be that the road would be i'm.
proved so that the Missouri highwty
commission would not hesitate tC
build TO the boundary of that
state, should the proposed projec
be received with favor. 4 CLAUDE
FULLER OF Eureka Springs IN one OF
the final talks of -khe meeting told
q the road work being done in Ar
KANSAS. He said that S365,000 roaC
Nonds had been voted for road con
Ehction between Russellville anC
Allle Rock. "As in olden times al
roads led TO Rome, so we wish e
see all roads lead to Springfield
which we feel is the capital of the
ozarks, and we are satisfied II W.
