For the last two years Congress
has provided funds for permanent
Improvements on National forests,

made available has been and Is be-
Ing used for road and trail building.
The amount Is too small, however, 10
comparison with the total ARIA Of
the forests, to make possible more
than a very small beginning. With
thicker settlement and increasing use
OF the forest, good roads will become
more and more crying necessity.
The object Of securing the help Of
the office OF good roads is to make the
work take the line that will not mere.
ly serve temporary convenience, but
also count for most In the end. BY
building each year with reference to a
carefully worked.out plan the danger
OF undirected effort will be escaped.
During the present summer an en-.
gineer OF the Office Of roads will 10
over the ground on several Of the
forests, and draw up plans which will
be submitted to the forester, and will
serve to guide subsequent work.
Where the roads planned for cannot
be built, trails will, so far IS possible,
be made to follow the courses laid out,
with the expectation that later they
will be converted into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and fire lines already constructed on
National forests are proving Of great
value both In work OF tire protection
and in serving the copveniences Of
the public. The further this work
can be carried the greater will &c the
