About 250 good roads enthusiasts from different sec-lions sec-lions of Utah, Idaho ,-uid Wyoming, assembled in this city Wednesday morning as delegates to the second annual Good Roads convention. As a result of their first day's deliberations de-liberations and discussions, the movement move-ment lor good roads throughout the Intermountain section has been given impetus, and bids fair to advance to a realization even beyond the fondest dreams of those most vitally interested interest-ed in the movement under way. While the opening session was devoted de-voted to organization and the preparation prepara-tion of future business, considerable headway was made, especially with reference to improved road conditions for the state of Utah. A resolution was offered that the legislature each year build 20 miles of road, ten north and ten south from Salt Lake, until the Idaho and Arizona lines shall havo been reached. s Governor William Spry was present at the afternoon session and made an earnest plea for better roads. Except for a paper by Robert C. Skelton, on "The Advantages of Good Roads in the Eastern States as Compared With the Poor Roads of the West," the sessions ses-sions were given over to informal talks and spirited discussions, in which delegates from - the different counties of Utah and from Idaho and Wyoming participated. |
