Brazil Wants Good Roads


Consul General George L. Anderson
of Rio de Janeiro advises that in lire
with the policy of the federal govern
ment and the several state govern
ments in Brazil to push the construc-
tion Of railways in the several portions
of the country there is also to be
noted the encouragement OF every
other means of communication, among
them the construction of good roads.
With the construction of good roads
goes the encoura cement of the estab
fishing of automobile serivess to
supplement or take the place of
railroad service. The annual budget
law of the federal government
in Brazil provides that the pres
ident of the republic is authorized to
grant subsidy at the rae of 1000
milreis q milreis equals 80 cents) per
kilometer (0.62 mile) to- companies or
to private individuals who build roads
and organize a service of automobiles
for the carrying of passengers or nler-
chandise when such roads link up two
states or traverse only one. The same
subsidy shall be granted TO states or
municipalities who organize the same
service.
The subsidy amounts to about 81 200
per mile. As representing the cost of
the improved highways the Importance

stretches of country where little work
upon practical roads would be re-
quired.
Assuming that a freight and passen-
ger service of automobiles over thinly
settled country will be practicable and
economical, it is estimated here that
the proposed aid of the government
will be sufficient to guarantee a rea-
sonable profit upon the undertaking.
lot
the reversion of the new roads to the
government at the end of certain pc
RODS.
1t is notable fact that all over
Brazil there are public enterprises for
| the construction of improved roads or
/ the Improvement of old roads as a
necessary adjunct to agricultural and
other development of the country. 1t
should be added that in its earlier days
Brazil possessed some of the finest
roadways in the world. the old gov
ernment highways before the days of
railways comparing favorably with the
/ best government highways of Europe
of the same period. Railway develop
ment in Brazil is of comparatively re-
| cent date and some statesmen and
publicists of the country regard trans
portation and communication by high
ways as not only more practical than
| it is regarded in the United States, but,
/ in way at least, as the more natural
means even covering long distances
as they exist in Brazil
Several automobile. roads are in the
course of construction in Rio Grande
do Sui and elsewhere under the direc-
tion and control of the several state
governments, and it is probable the
subsidy offered by the federal govern
ment of Brazil will first be awarded in
connection with such state ENTERPRISES.

Germany Fayors Subsidies

The German reichstag passed the first
reading on May 1 of the bill granting
an increase of s125.ooO in the annual
imperial subsidy to the North German
Lloyd steamship company for the es
tablishment of a four weekly service
between the German protectorate OF
New Guinea. Japan and Australia.
The under secretary of state quoted
statistics to show that the development
OF the new mail steamship lines had
given very satisfactory results since
1885. The total tonnage on the East
Asian and Australian lines of the North
German Lloyd had risen from S3.447 in
1858 TO 2S3,333 in 1906. the total value
of the cargoes from 74.500.000 marks
q mark equal to 23.8 cents) to 369,
000, 600 marks, exports of merchandise
from $4,000, 900 to 156, 6,500.000 marks,
and the number of passengers carried
from 1929 to 35,94S. The exports to
China had increased in value from
% 200 900 marks in 1889 to SO 1000
marks in 1907; those to Japan from
Is 500, 900 marks to 102,000,000 marks
in the same time. and those to Aus
tralia from 100000 marks to CT ,1o0,-
OOO The subsidizing of the company
had thus, according to the under secre-
tary OF state been highly advantageous
to Germany. He said, however, that
the lines from New Guinea. Australia
and Japan could not be maintained
without the increase in the subsidy.
The colonial secretary asserted that
the new 10 per cent ad valorem duties,
which We're to be introduced in Ger
man New Guinea next year. and the
prospective revenue of $4,000 from
the phosphate trade would more than
suffice to cover the amount of the pro-
posed subsidy.
The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Times states that German cruisers
periodically cali at Brisbane and other
Australian ports, and it is calculated

GOVERNMENT WHITEW ASH-D.
City. What is the recipe for what is
commonly called government white
wash?
You probably mean the recipe for
whitewashing sent out by the light
house board of the United states
treasury department That is: slack
half bushel OF unslacked lime with
boiling water, keeping it covered dur
ing the process. Strain il and add a
peck of salt dissolved in warm water,
three pounds of ground rice put in boil
ing water and boiled to a thin paste.
One-haf pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and pound of clear glue dis
solved in warm water; mix these well
together and let the mixture stand for
several days. Keep the wash thus
prepared in kettle or portable fur
mace and when used put IL on as hot
as possible with white washers or
painters wide brush"
The following is the Australian gov
ernment whitewash; ITO half a bucket
