Note
During the winter of 1901-2 the National Good Roads Association, the Office of Public Road Inquiries, the Southern Railway Company, and the principal manufacturers of road-building machinery in the United States cooperated in holding a series of conventions in the Southern States, and building object-lesson roads in connection with these conventions. The representatives of the cooperating forces and the road-building machinery were transported from point to point by the "good-roads train" of the Southern Railway. One of the most important of these conventions was that held at Raleigh, N. C.
