A Union County meeting of the Good Roads Association adopts by laws and endorses a trunk macadamized road plan.

The plan aims for about 50 miles of roads, with half funding by the county and the rest by local areas or bonding, plus a levy to buy machinery and establish two road districts under expert supervision.
