gradually being perfected. One II Tia
most significant outgrowths Of the i'm.
proved road project Is the hearty SYM
patty accorded it in the New Jersey
state legislature. Fortunately the friends
Of the project were enabled 10 secure
/ the enthusiastic interest of the members
I Of the legislature irrespective Of political
4 influence, and being thus freed from
what so frequently embarrassee and i'm
\ pedrs Legislative cooperation the i'm
proved road project was indorsed by all
\ the state authorities. Governor Albeit
\ is one Of the most hearty supporters Il
j the system.
4 The movement has by no means been
n restricted TO New Jersey. On the con-
4 trary, widespread interest has been
developed in nearly every state in the
II Union, as is evidenced BY the recon.
mendations made in the annual mo-
!, sages Of the governors If several stats
!. advocating improved roads throughout
} all parts Of their commonwealth
! Governor Mckinley, Of Ohio. in his
message, referred to the improved roai
:. idea as necessary part Of the hcneffs
that might be secured 10 all classes and
particularly 70 the farmers. Ciovcrnor
Beaver, Of Pennsylvania, Endorsed the
project in two annual messages. as have
also Governors Albeit, Hill and BuIke-
ley.
The last and by far the most iinpor-
: tant move in the direction Of improved
= roads is the interest manifested by tie
general government. A few months

: ment Of state to every American consul
