Preparations are complete for the Montana Automobile and Good Roads Association convention in Anaconda tomorrow. Speakers emphasize rapid Montana road development under a federal aid bill, with roughly 2.6 million dollars expected to flow to the state in the next decade and allocations based on population area and rural route mileage. The bill requires state direction by the highway commission and secretary of the interior in road planning and allows 10 million dollars for park and forest road projects.
The act would allocate about 1.8 million dollars from the federal treasury to Montana roads over five years and a further 1 million dollars yearly for ten years in forest reserve states. With Montana holding about one tenth of the national forests, the bill implies roughly 2.8 million dollars for the state through these provisions.

It notes increases in official vital statistics work, cites wartime and international efforts, and references figures and public interest in data collection. It also includes a homily on home economy and hat refashioning amid 1916 conditions, ending with a note on John Wycliffe’s Bible translation.
