I never saw such great interest manifested in 

 road building in my experience, and I have 

 seen demonstrations all over the country. As 

 a matter of fact there never was such an op- 

 portunity given to demonstrate the practical 

 work of road building from start to finish. 

 Heretofore there may have been a demonstra- 

 tion of two or three road rollers or other road 

 making machinery before a township or county 

 board, witnessed perhaps by a dozen or two 

 of_ highway commissioners and other town- 

 ship or county officials. Here thousand? 

 crowded about eager to see every detail. The 

 questions asked as regards machinery, etc., 

 showed that the farmer is becoming keenly 

 alive to the necessity of having first c'ass high- 

 ways. Had the public service furnished a doz- 

 en men for the state fair demonstration every 

 one of them would have been kept btisv an- 

 swering the_ questions of highway commission- 

 ers who evinced mnre than mere curiosity in 

 the proceedings. They wanted to know. 

 _ There is no question that the demonstra- 

 tion has done mnre for good roads in Michi- 

 gan than any one other thing. The State 

 fair managers are deservinrr of the highest 

 praise for putting on the exhibit. Next year 

 and every year thereafter I hope to see a good 

 roads congress held in connection with the 

 exhibit at the State Fair."
