National League For Good Roads PDF Download

Excerpt from Proceedings of a Convention of the National League for Good Roads Held at Washington, D. C., January 17 and 18, 1893: And Hearing by the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, January 19, 1893 We know the fact that we must get out of the present methods and mend our ways the country over. We can congratulate ourselves that there is such widespread interest on the subject of educating the people for their own good. The newspapers all over have taken up the matter and have created such interest that in some localities better roads have already resulted. It was a source of very great pleasure to me that in the county of Douglas, in which I live, in the State of Nebraska, largely as the result of the agitation of this question by the newspapers the people have already started to build better roads, and have in that county voted S to be issued in bonds, the proceeds to be expended for that purpose. This experience has been repeated all over the land, particularly, I understand, in the State Of New York.
