Frank J. King, representing the Norwich board of trade, made one of the strongest presentations of present conditions. A rising vote was taken, however, approving of the idea of endeavoring to secure the very best possible trunk highways across the state, and better- ing road conditions in general. The following committee was named to call a meeting within two weeks, to effect permanent organization: George M. Eams, Bridgeport, Charles M. Robin- son, New Haven; J. M. Emerson, An- sonia; ang F. T. Staples, Bridgeport. The call had been issued by the Connecticut Automobile assoclation, The gathering was called to order by President Staples, who said that at a meeting of the automobile assoc ation discussion had arisen over the condition of the state highwa Mr. Eams of Bridgeport, who was chosen temporary chafrman, sald that the breadth and scope of the movement is so great that not only individuals power behind them that they will get what they want. He sald that the ad- vocates of good roads should be so convincing in what they demand that those who do not live on the trunk highways will see the force of the ar- gument and the need of permanent pavements for those highways. - He said that Connecticut every week was losing more than the inferest on a bond issue which would build perma- nent roads. He said that if the inter- est on a bond issue for good roads was $100,000 a year, the state is losing more than that a week, because tour- ists are not coming Into the state. F. J. King of Norwich said that Nor- wich is suffering from miserable roads and there is not much encouragement of getting improvement. It ought to be insisted that next fall every candi- date for the legislature should be asked it he favored £00d roads and if can- didate of political party did then the choice could be made on party lines, but those who did not favor good roads should be defeated. He said the tour- ist business In New England is $50,- 000,000 a year and Connecticut loses $200,000.a year because of poor roads. Tourists detour to New York and Mas- sachusetts Where they got better roads and those states get most of the mon- VICE PRESIDENT Unanimously Elected to This Position in the National Home Furnishers’ Association.
