In organizing a Good Iloads As
sociation, .a meeting should be
called to be held at acme central
point in the county and it ahould
be thoroughly advertised in the
county papers and also by personal
communication .with prominent
men In different parte of the coun
ty. Arrangements should be made
to have some speaker from the
State Association or the Slate Geo
logical and Economic Surrey, ad
dress the meeting on the general
subject of Good Roads and also
speaker to state 'the- reasons for
forming a County Good Roads As -
sociation. After the guestion of
the' formation of an Association
has been discussed, ate pt shoo Id be
taken to organize, a conaUtuUon
ahooli be adopted and cHcer elect
ed. It will - pay to organize a
County Association even if, at the
start, there are not over six to ten
members, although the effective
ness of the Association will be In
creased with the increase of mem
bership and this becomes one of
the objects'of the Association.
Talking of the " pittel toter,'
