The gathering formed an organizing committee, adopted Stacey’s plan for a state association, outlined road improvements, pole painting standards, and a statewide highway system with local auxiliaries and dues.
Walter Fowler praised Washington’s growth and hospitality at yesterday’s luncheon attended by about 160. Road enthusiasts including Joe I. Long and Ralph Smith lauded efforts to establish the Great White Way as a national highway conduit through the area, linking to the Ocean-to-Ocean route and Panama exposition traffic. Delegates from Davenport and Muscatine were absent. R. N. Carson of Iowa City sent goodwill notes.
