Wednesday afternoon Captain Bird addressed a number of citizens and Commercial Club members nt-the-Li-brary auditorium, impressing upon his hearers the importance of good roads, and describing roads and experiences exper-iences met with over in Franco during the war. The secret of the endurance of Central European ronds, Captain Bird explnined was thnt they started them with a heavy rock foundation beneath the surface of the ground, and built them four to five feet thick. It is a matter of history thnt roads of this typo last for several hundreds of years, requiring only to be resurfaced occasionally. Captain Bird said there was no renson why permanent roads of this kind could not be built through this country. Spenker urged tho importance of voting the bond issue, and of getting ready to take care of the heavy tourist tour-ist travel which is surely coming, he said. Mr. Bigelow and party left for St. George yesterday, negotiating the recent re-cent fall of snow. |
