The work of the League of American

following editorial opinion
The question of road building in this
country is receiving. as it should. in

upon which it is more important that
public interest should be awakened.

to the immense extent OF territory over
which highways have to extend ard

the ages. But we had no Romans in
this country to lay foundations for US.
nor had we barbarians whom we could
press into Involuntary service to DO the
stone-breaking, even if we had wanted
TO emulate the works of Caesar.
Another thing which has complicat-
ed the matter of making turnpikes is
the rapid and phenomenally success

have cast their network of steel wires
all over the country and absorbed the
transportation business, so that where
they went it was not so very necessary
to have roads that would stand heavy
hauling or promote fast driving. In
Kentucky, famous for her good roads
travel by coach or horseback was com
mon, and it was worth while for the
community to make it easy and swift
Moreover, the confguration of the
country favored road building.
