No Illinois Good-roads Convention

Springfield, Ills., Aug. 14.- The idea of holding a state good-roads convention here has been abandoned. The reason given by the promoters is that in view of other public enterprises that have demanded large popular contributions it would be bad policy to ask the citizens for financial aid for other objects at the present time. It is also believed that the farmers of the state are not sufficiently interested to take part in a movement that promises a costly experiment.
