EUROPEAN ROADWAYS.
Points of Difference Between italian and
German Highways.

Points of Difference Between italian and
German Highways.
Much has been said by travellers of
tho excellence of Italian highways, and
with truth, but i'll one respect they are
usually apply the macadamizing proc
ess only to the middle section of the
roadway, the side sections being left
unbuilt and mostly uncared for. The
Germans, and to a great extent the Aus
trians also, make finished road over
the whole available width. a reason
for this would appear i'll the habits of
the two peoples. The Germanic race,
being enthusiastic walkers, use their
roads, and particularly the sides, for
pedestrian purposes as we'll as driving,
while the Italians seldom venture far
afoot Oh the highway, leaving it to car
riages and teams. Be this as it may.
the narrower Italian road wears out
faster, and when worn whatever it
offers of inequality, dust or mud must
be endured, as the sides furnish no way
of escape, whereas when the middle of
German road becomes uneven through
use the sides still afford n good path.
In touring with the bicycle through
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sicily
and Italy have, as rule, found the
roads i'll the hilly and mountainous bet
ter than i'll the level districts. Wheth-
er this is owing to more thorough
drainage OH account of the grade to n
frmer subsoil, or to the necessity of
moro perfect construction, 1 do not
know. Probably the Observed fact is
due to all of these factors combined.
If the people of the United States can
be brought to realize the Importance Of
road reform to appreciate the conyen
fence and economies it will bring to all
classes and to act i'll the matter, Amer
lean enterprise can soon construct roads
that Will compare favorably with those
of the older European nations. Cor.

THE MOVEMENT GROWING.
Recent Progress Made In Road Improve
ment-Thc Outlook Bright.

Recent Progress Made In Road Improve
ment-Thc Outlook Bright.
The cause of good roads has no moro
earnest advocate and energetic and sys-
tematic worker than Roy Stone, vice
president of tho National Leaguc For
Good Roads and United States special
agent and engineer for road inquiry.
His latest contribution to tho cause is "a
work entitled ''Now Roads and. Road
Laws of the United States, - from which
the following extract is taken:
''The task of transforming u million
miles or moro of bad roads into good
ones, task which involved tho disrup-
ton of century old systems, the dcvcl-
opment of new lines of legislation in all
the states of our Union and in many
even the changing OF their constitutions,
and which has threatened to require an
expenditure running into tho billions,
has commonly been deemed so vast and
difficult as to bo utterly hopeless, but
it suddenly appears that tho few good
citizens who have had tho courage to
attempt it, here and there, have reason
to be astonished at their own success.
Not only have the ways and means been
found without oppression to tho tax
payer, but tho actual cost of good road
making has been brought far below the
early estimates. Sixteen states have
passed new road laws more or less radi-
cal i'll their nature and one has amend
ed its constitution to permit the adop-
ton of such laws. Many hundreds of
miles of good roads have already been
built, in localities widely separated,
under varying conditions and through
various methods of administration,
finance and construction. 1t is therefore
no longer necessary to go abroad for in
struction in this reform, but, on the 9TH
or hand, highly necessary to learn what
is being done at homo. The country is so
vast that what is done and we'll done in
one section is often unknown OF misun-
derstood III another, and each commu-
nifty has, so far as regards tho experience
Of others, wrought mostly in tho dark
Some recent developments of the road
movement tend, however, toward Il
thorough investigation of tho subject
and wide diffusion of the knowledge
SO gained"
