Cambridge, Massachusetts March Ninth Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen
The fourth year of the real activities of this Association ended on Friday, March 9, 1917. A summary of our operations during these four years can be made as follows:
1. The numbers of different editions of maps, pamphlets, bulletins, circulars, etc., issued by the Association amount to:
1913	1914		1915		1916	Total
214	156		217		203	790

11,000 Average 2,200 per 7,200 day 14,000	9,000
3.	Total possible maximum editions of these maps, pamphlets, bulletins, circulars, etc. The record of these it is impossible for us to obtain, as many recipients will not make a return even though publishing the matter forwarded to them. The observer can take any percentage he thinks fair to arrive at the probable audience of the literature issued by the National Highways Association.

In addition to the above work, the Library of the National Highways Association (said to be the most complete in this or any other country), at Columbia University, has been maintained up to date, and very large additions thereto have been collected at our South Yarmouth Workshop. The Du Pont-Davis Road Photograph Competition, together with many other additions, has given the Association a remarkably fine and probably the largest collection of road photographs. To these will be added the photographing of America, now being done, and which will take about two years. This work is undertaken under the auspices of the Association in co-operation with the Department of the Interior and the Combitone Pictures Corporation and Pathe' Exchange, Inc. The mapping of the United States, occupying the last four years, is nearing completion, and the U. S. Tour Book of the Association will likely be published during 1918. The Association now has over one hundred twenty-five (125) State, National, and Alignment Good Roads Organizations affiliated with and acting as Departments and Divisions thereof. We have seventy (70) Divisions organized in our Council of National Advisors. They represent many social and industrial activities of the body politic, and in their personnel include many “ men of recognized ability and eminence in the Arts, Sciences, and Letters ” Our Council of Governors and Council of Commis-sionors now represent every State in the Union.
