Old Wire Road Restoration Sparks Motorist Campaign
Springfield Missouri booster J A White leads a strong effort to fully restore the historic Old Wire Road from St Louis to Springfield and toward Ft Smith Arkansas. Once a famed Ozark highway linked with the national system, it now lies unsafe and partly rerouted. Public concern grew after the Under Three Flags caravan tour rekindled local interest and photo coverage stirred Springfield citizens to act.

Under Three Flags Car Spurs Missouri Road Effort
A committee chairman leads a drive to extend the Old Wire Road from Marshfield to St Louis with support from towns along the line. Promises of wagon bridge work across the Gasconade, free rail transport of materials, and a trophy by the Springfield Republican fuel hopes for full 1911 completion. Locals like John Hosmer donate land and influence to accelerate improvement.
