operate in the work Of bnildins and
improving the roads. The State is
TO pay tso-thirds Of the expense. AID
the county and township in which
the work Is doae each ene-sixth Of
the expense. The Stste has made
available for this purpose 81, 500. 900
to be expended during the next few
years.
The principal involved in the
State aid plan is exactly the same
a. that i05oived in the scheme tor
National aid which has developed
such popularity recently. The fun
elemental idea of both rs that road
improvement is not merely matter
Of local interest and responsibility,
but matter Of interest and concern
to the whole people; or. to put it an
other way. road building is coming
10 be viewed as a species Of internal
improvement" belonging in the same
class as river and harbor improve
ments.
Another reason why National and
State aid are becoming so popular is
the realization that. unless some
thing Of the kind is adopted, the
burden Of bad roads, like the poor,
will be always with rs. The bottom
less roads Of the country constitute a
sort Of slough Of despond" in which
the people are destined to founder
until some one comes along 70 help
them out. In fact the expense for
improving the roads in many local.
ties j. a burden which the local popu-
latiou is wholly unable 70 bear. Ii
is believed that whenever the State
OF the Nation reaches out helping
hand TO such communities. they will
grasp il and bend all their energies
to the great work OF improving their
highways, but they viii never under
take the job without help from the
outside.
The frequent rains Of the past few
weeks have made the roads almost
impassable in a majority Of the local
communities throughout the Eastern
hall Of the United States. Perhaps
this is one Of the reasons why the
good roads idea is uppermost in so
many minds
