Every  effort  has  been  made,  as  in  previous  years,  to  bring  to  the  no-
tice of  the  different  Boards  of  County  Commissioners  and  the  people
in  the  State  the  opportunities  for  aid  in  practical  road-making  which
the  Geological  Survey  offers.  Through  the  interest  in  this  work
taken  by  the  newspapers  throughout  the  State  the  people  generally
have  become  acquainted  with  the  facilities  afforded  them  by  the  Geo-
logical Survey.  In  addition,  a  number  of  public  meetings,  held  for
the  purpose  of  advancing  the  good  roads  movement,  were  attended
by  the  Highway  Engineer ;  and  many  of  the  Boards  of  County  Com-
missioners were  visited  by  him.
