MARKED BY PROGRESS.
once of Public Road Inquiries, Unjcz
Direction of Gen. stone, Has
Done Good Work

The work of the Office of public road
inquiries, under the direction of Gen.
Roy Stone, has been marked during
the past year by steady progress along
its well-est tablished lines. y great deal
of work is accomplished by correspond
ence and by the gathering and dissem-
mating of important information re-
lating to various phases of the road
subject. Many thousand copies of good
roads" literature have been diStrib
uted among farmers and other persons
interested, and important road conven-
tions have been attended by repre-
sentatives of the office. and many state
legislatures have asked for. and received
assistance in framing new road legisla-
tion. Examples of steel road tracks
have been completed in a number of
different localities, and these expert
mental sections of steel road clearly
demonstrated their usefulness for the
western states and for other places
which are but sparingly supplied with
good stone and gravel. When steel be-
comes cheap once more, the manufac-
turers can take the matter up and
make series of special shapes. The
object lessons furnished by sample
roads have been extensive. and sections
have been built in several parts of the
country. As a result of the investiga-
tions, the office considers that for local
needs as we'll as for our material devel-
opment and prosperity a well-regulated
system of public roads through the
whole country is, day by day, becoming
more necessary. While we have the
most perfect railway system in the
world, our public highways are and al
ways have been inferior to those of
any other country in the civilized old
world. As our public roads are the
veins and arteries of our agricultural,
commercial and social life, they are not
yet receiving the consideration that
their great Importance deserves. Much
has been done in the United States to-
ward road building during the last few
years, but much more needs to be done,

WANT GOOD ROADS.
The Farmers of fPcnnsyIvanin Are Be
ginning to Pay Attention to the
Cost of Hauling.

The subject of good roads is begin
ming to occupy the attention of the
farmers of Pennsylvania, and prom
ises to become, before long, prom
inent factor in state and county cleo
tions.
In a recent address at Doylestown
Edmund G.. Harrison, chief engineer
of the United States department Of
road inquiry, said the average cost of
transporting products in the United
States over common roads is % cents
per mile, an aggregate of $900,0 ,0O0,-
600. With good roads, such as they
have in many parts of New Jersey,
Connecticut, New York, Massachu-
setts and Kentucky, he said, the cost
is reduced to eight cents per mile.
The average of building good roads is
about $4,000 per mile.
According to these figures, it is
much cheaper to maintain good roads
than it is to allow the poor ones to re-
main. Good roads practically effect a
saving of two-thirds in transportation.
The residents of cities have learned
to realize the benefits of improved
highways. 1t is safe to assert that
Philadelphia would not go back to the
old era of cobblestone paving and
