Good Roads Meeting Forms Local Booster Group in Henry Co
Citizens rallied at Henry Auto Co to organize a Good Roads association funded by a state fuel license pool of one million dollars. Temporary leaders elected with a plan to draft by laws and meet again Thursday to solidify a permanent body. The Waubansie Trail linking St. Louis to Chicago via Peoria and Denver is highlighted, with Henry County as a key gravel-road hub. A long list of local automobile owners and boosters is named as initial members and supporters.
