fury, brought about the era of turn
pike roads, operated for profit by in
diNiduals or corporations. The reign
of such road companies was wide
spread when, about the year 1885. the
plank road made its appearance, and
soon found much favor. For these
roads three stringers, each six inches
in width. were used one was laid in
the center, the two others being on the
sides. All joints were broken. Not
only were these roads very satisfac-
tory for the time being, but they paid
very high rate of interest on the in
vcstment
Latterly~ 1t has come to be realized
that road Improvement and mainten-
ance Is very properly subject for the
Jurisdiction and administration of the
national, state, county and municipal
governments. and various schemes
have been devised for making the
highways a public charge and for con-
trihuting the financial aid essential for
their care. The national government
has already appropriated more than
Sla.t0o,ooo for the construction of ma
tionai highways, and there are now
dozens or bills before congress look

tious and contemplating the construc-

Congress is also being urged to give
some of its memorials to the nations
heroes the form of commemorative
highways instead of statutes or mnnu-
ment*, the foremost suggestion along
this new line being the proposal for

capital to the battlefield Of Gettysburg
the two localities most prominently
identified with the career of the martyr
president.
About half of the states of the Union
that have set out to improve the public
roads are now proceeding under county
and township system. a few states
have provided merely for investigation
on the part of the state, and have not
yet done anything very tangible In the
way Of actual road work; yet others
have provided for a state highway
commission. while a large number have
appropriated money to be allotted to
the various counties, provided they
spend it under state supervision. New
Hampshire has been active in road
building since 1900, and Kentucky made
appropriations to aid in the, building
of hard rnads early In the nineteenth
century. State aid. in the modern
sense. however. does not recognize toll
roads, nor does II assume the entire
burden of the improvement, as was at
first done In part of New England.
Rather is the present approved plan
the one of arnortioning the cost be-
tween the state and its local subdi-
visions. This scheme was first intro
ducel by the state OF New Jersey less
than a score of years ago. and her ex-
samrle was quickly followed by Massa-
chusetts and Vermont. s
There, are three different and dis
finct methods of carrying out good
roads operations under state direction,
each practice having its adherents
among the sisterhood of states. Most
popular of the various forms of proce-
dare is that known as the central
ized," which is in use by such states

good Is of comparatively recent origin,
the evolution of Americas road sys-
tenn has been going on since the days
of the earliest inhabitants Of the con-
tinent. The pioneer American road
constructors were the mound builders.
Il few of whose trails are still in ex-
istence. Then came the Indians. who
showed a disposition to utilize as
trails whenever possible the paths
made by buffalo, and which usually
extended along ridges. The first road
built by white II en- i'll America was at
jamestown. Va, and traces of 1t are
still in existence. The first road law
was passed by the general assembly
in the year 1852. Public roads were
sirst constructed from plantation to

church, and finally. Il Crude system
Of county highways was developed

George Washington was one of the
earliest conspicuous advocates Of good
reads. As early as 175s. when he re-
turned from his mission to the French
forts, the future Father of His .Coun-
try inauguiated the project for uniting
the east and west by means of public
highways. He continued his interest
and activity in this field when he later
attained To positions of power and in
Iluenee In the new. republic, and Ii
was largely as the result Of his recon-
mendations that the early congresses
passed road legislation. notably the

The institution was started under the
title of the office of road inquiry I'm
the year 1899, in which year congress
appropriated the sum of $4,000 to in
aucurate the work. From the outset
the purpose was to make inquiry into
the systems of road management
throughout the United States. and to
make Investigations as to the best
methods of road making. As years
went on congress was more liberal in
setting aside funds for this new branch
OF the government. and half dozen
years ago provided for an extension
of activities to cover the investigation
of the chemical and physical character
of all road making materials. This has
