OS? Annual Conv.fi
2	V,'c should now try to frame r, budget and thereby lay Headquarters under instructions, and the states under 3one fair distribution of the costs, and give Headquarters a working force that can render more constant service. Yet 3 budget to bind various states, counties, cities and towns has heretofore always failed, and men have had to serve without salary bo hold the work together. In a word, before ab, budget is possible there must be a cohesive national organization
with strength enough to insure the revenues, or else we must set aside a sufficient fund to insure a properly functioning Headquarters fores, then the Managing Director can give time more freely to organization building.
The lowest possible Headquarters force would be (i) an auditor and office manager to keep the books, manage the office, and keep constant touch with members, end (2) a publicity nan, who also would help keep news flowing out to members, and (3) a stenographer. A minimum of (,.10.000 is needed for this.
3	vva should plan to introduce a lav; in every state, and organize to put it thru, to give authority to Highway Commissions to designate the naaeiD of a highway and to sanction the marking. In this way- the promoters can be controlled and legitimate highway projects protected. Some northern states have such s. law. This 08T is becoming vary attractive to preying promoters and parasitic highway movements.
4	Another law is suggested to empower Highway Commissions to keep advertising off state and federal aid highways. This its the beginning of any movement for beautifying highways.
5	liomaax’s work lies in beautifying the roadside. With laws to control the designation of,and marking., and advertising on, highways, the women can go forward to splendid achievement in. beautifying.
f 6 iso should pass on tho trunkline system that has boon developed, and pass judgment on extensions that are in mind, and also authorize and finance a complete map. Decision to routes belongs to the 3 of D but members should bo encouraged to express themselves in. convention. This work is threatening to degenerate into conditions whes individuals decide what shall constitute the 03T system.
7	Wo should consider luestions rel ting to the proposed extension to Mexico City, and the proposed connection with Tampa, Florida—the Tampa to Tampico trunkline around the G-ulf, connecting the eastern and western Spanish gateways.
8	There are adjustments necessary with the Dixie Highway in Florida to prevent confusion, and conflict. The Managing Director..attended the*Dixie Highway convention in Jacksonville, Hay 26-27, and they vote- their part of this adjustment subject to acceptance by the
OST Association.
9	v/e should plan a continuing publicity movement to "soil" the
Old Spanish Trail and its territory to the people of the United States
Canada, and Mexico.	....
Additionally, months of time and many hnddrids dollars have been spent in research and writing the old Spanish story of those 30v yours from ft. August	u iV.np; ■■	DiOg	■ -	■	Augoio	s.i
