Lessons in Roadmaking.

The American consul general at Mar
settles. France, has sent, upon request,
q report upon French roadmaking and
bookkeeping that is of special value in
America just now.
We are told that the excellence of
French country roads is largely due to
administration. We can readily believe
it, because the initial cost of those mar
velous roads was insignificant, com.
pared with the millions that have since
been spent upon them. The national
highways of France are administered in
semi-mllitary fashion. But the total
tax per capita of population is not as
high as in many other states where the
roads are infinitely worse.
The French roads are supervised by
an army of trained employees, who are
educated for the work in school of
bridges apd roads. The construction
and betterment of roads thus takes
rank as an engineering science. Road
engineers are as well paid. on the aver
age, as other engineers in the mechani-
cal or civil branches. 1t is true that
European countries had many centuries
start in roadmaking, when compared
with the United States. This must be
borne in mind always. But it does not
afford an adequate excuse for systema-
tic American neglect of even rudimen-
tary steps in the roadmaking science.
We can trust Americans to keep and
improve their roads when built. But,
unless start is made soon, there will
be no national system of highways
worth semitic care. The one encourag-
ing feature is that good roads agitation
is spreading simultaneously all over
the United States, Farmers institutes
are taking up the subject. Congress
men are being importuned to work for
good road legislation. 1t is recogni zed
on all hands that national and state CO.
operation is essential, just as it is in
the development of internal waterways.
