Editor Newmarket Era Express Newmarket Ont Dear Mr Struthers The Era Express in its issue of October 24 comments conventions are a waste of time and money You then state that having observed a good roads convention we would put this one at the head of the list Your readers will probably ap preciate the fact that a good roads convention is not necessari ly a Canadian Good Roads Asso ciation convention Thei ambigui ty of your statement creates a reasonable doubt as to whether or not you are referring to the Canadian Good Roads If you have not attended a convention you may wish to read the proceedings of the convention which am sending to you along with the program of the last convention in Saskatoon to which you refer in your editorial and a statement on the purposes and activities of the association As you see from this this association is support ed by all provincial governments the federal and municipal gov ernments At the con vention there wen many respon sible people who gave a some what more favorable opinion on the associations activities than yours The minister of highways of Prince Edward Island Hon J George said want to know that I consider it a privilege to belong to such a vital and going concern as I his association has proven itself to he Mr MarKay was thanking the association for undertaking a survey of its departmental me chanical branch and instituting a program of operator training Hon J Douglas minister of highways and transportation In the Province of Saskatchewan said this about We In Saskatchewan ate what has been done for the province by I he association Much has been made of the completion of the TransCanada Highway I wanl assure you thai my opinion the agreement whereby the provinces and the federal commenced this project was made possible because of I ho influence of organization Km thai alone we should be extremely grateful Hut addition we have other things which we ran be thankful because of the aclivi of the Canadian Good

which you have based your editorial Yours sincerely A Draper Assistant Managing Director Editors Note We were not referring to a Canadian Good Roads Convention we have never attended one We did at tend a good roads convention in Toronto at one time and formed an opinion based on it We agree that much of value certainly can he obtained through the Canadian Good Roads Convention Those who can obtain most for the benefit of municipal govern- we believe are the per manent staff members more than by elected members no one on this council will con sider such a proposal seriously Increases of
