NATION INTERESTED IN
GOOD ROADS PROBLEM
Highway and Park Commission
ers Working in Harmony with
Automobile Associations

Solving the roads problem which has
followed in the wake of the automo-
bile, and the consequent greater use of
the highways, is not as difficult by far
as seemed to be the case in the early
days of the coming of the motor-driVen
vehicle, which now finds it's need even
greater on farm than in city and town.
The highway traveller who goes a
distance is primarily interested in the
Improvement and maintenance of city
streets, park roads and trunk lines
connecting the various centers of pop
ulation, as in practically every tour
It is necessary to pass over these three
classes of highways, and 1t Is partic-
ularly aggravating in many instances
when entering a city to find an intoler-
able condition of the city streets that
destroys very largely the pleasure of
motoring. In many instances this con-
dition is due to lack Of foresight in pro-
viding sufficient funds by the city
authorities, and also to lack of knowl-
edge of how to make the proper re-
pairs, although the official in charge is
almost invariably anxious and willing
to properly improve and repair the
streets of his municipality.
1t is not unusual in motoring
through the many beautiful parks sit
uated near large cities in this country
to travel over park roads which were
formerly smooth and pleasant, but are
now filled with holes, or dusty and
muddy, all showing the effects of ILL
considered methods of dust preventa-
tives. The various park commissioners
throughout the country are no doubt
anxious and willing that their roads

r. L. Perry writes from Santa Barbara

AGREES WITH BUTLER
ABOUT AUTO SHOW
Unsurpassed as Educational Ex-
hibits for the PubIic'S
Benefit

The national road races at Elgin, Ill, did
more than demonstrate the merits of the cars
and drivers. according to VIII H Brown, vice
president of the Willys-Overland company.
1T was the means Of bringing automobile
men of the trade together as at q show, and
plans for the winters activities were discussed
and given an Impetus" says Mr.. Brown.
Chairman Of the A A. A, g. NJ Butler, de-
clared that the outlook for this winter is good,
tractve than ever before. The contest season
is now drawing to close and the mind and
activities of the trade men turn to the indoor
exhibitions.
1T agree with Mr.. Butler that an outdoor
show could not well be held, although there
are arguments in favor of It. One big point
made by Mr.. Butler is that during the winter
months the automobile show affords an ave-
nue. through which the attention of the public
can be directed and sustained in the automo-
bile. Then. too, during the winter months
persons do not object to being indoors and
enjoy the comfort and educational benefits or
walking around the displays. Factories to-
day produce attractive exhibits and beautifully
polished chassis that give the dealers an ideal
chance to explain with deltberaton the merits
of the various makes.
IAN outdoor show in the autumn would come
before the new models were ready. and 1t
would also call for kind OF contests.
such contests would detract from the educa-
tional exhibits, would excite the spectators
and make 1t hard for them to get down to
brass taclxs' in the study of cars
II believe with Mr. Butler that this VIII Do
n great year for shows. One big problem must
be solved that of buildings large enough.
do not favor cutting the size of the individual
exhibits but believe separate shows for COM
mercial and passenger cars advisable.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-02

and boulevards be dustless, smooth and
pleasant to travel over, but there are
so MANY different methods of treating
these roads that unless these park COM
mssioners have made a special study
of the subject, they are apt to adopt
ways of improving these roads which
have proved failures, and which add to,
rather than lessen the discomforts to
which the user Of the road Is put.
1t has frequently been said that the
money which has been expended out
side of the cities and villages on the
Improvement of the so-called state
roads, or main trunk lines, is wasted
because the roads are not properly
maintained after being built. In many
instances the criticisms are well found
ed, and the millions of dollars ex-
pended on road construction have been
as good as squandered, because the
roads have been allowed to deteriorate
and to, wear out without being properly
cared for.
The system adopted in France is
known as the patrol system, and the
same method has been adopted in New
York state, where over $500 miles of
macadam roads have been constructed
and about 500 patrolmen are at work
repairing all the minor defects in
the highways. Each patrolman covers
about five miles of territory. He Is
PROVIDED With morse ana cart, Hlleu
with the various sizes of stone and
equipped with the necessary imple-
ments to repair all minor defects.
Although this system has been in
operation scarcely a year, its economy
has already been demonstrated, as in
the contract system of repairs an al
lowance of 20 per cent at least must be
made for the contractors profit, 10 per
cent for supervision and 10 per cent for
contractors office. clerical and super
vision expense. Thus at first hand at
least 40 per cent is saved in the course
of making these repairs, and instead
of having in many cases inexperienced
contractors to do the work it is in
charge Of patrolmen who are retained
in their positions year after year and
become expert and proficient, not only
in the making of macadam road re-
pairs, but in the application Of surface
compounds, which alleviate dust, and
in resurfacing roads with bituminous
binders. No state highway commits
sioner can afford to take the RESPONSE
bility of expending vast sums of money
on the trunk lines of his state without
being conversant and familiar with the
patrol system.

ufacturers, held yesterday at the head
quarters of the association, East
Forty-second street, New York.

of Col. George Pope, chairman; Charles
Clifton, Alfred Reeves, who was added
to the committee recently, and Merle

play of accessories will be exhibited
at both periods
An elaborate plan of decoration haf
been devised by the show committee
which has been working for months
on details to make next years event
eclipse even the show of last January
which was considered the best ever
held in this country. 1t is to be Won
dered at that sufficient space to ac-
commodate all the exhibitors could be
squeezed out of the garden for the
shows OF next January.
In the near future a meeting will be
held at which will be allotted space tC
