The office Of public roads Of the de-
partment Of agriculture is making it's
influence felt throughout the United
States, and in no place is it more con-
spicuous than in the vicinity Of Wash
ington. The District of Columbia, Ma
ryland and Virginia each have some
thing to show for the work that has
been done in the way Of road improve
ment, and. while comparatively little
has been accomplished in comparison
to the vast length Of highways that
need improvement, there is sufficient
to form an interesting object lesson to
guide local authorities in the extension
of the good work which has been be-
gun and in which instruction has been
given by the agents Of the government.
The work Of road Improvement was
begun by the government in compli-
ance with law directing the secretary
Of agriculture to furnish expert advice
In road building. In their effort to
comply with the law in an efficient
manner the Office of public roads ha..
offered to local communities through
out the United States the services Of
its corps Of highway engineers and ex-
perts, who are prepared to advise with
persons in such communities as to the
best methods of construction to be en-
ployed in any locality.
Any community DESTROYS Of con-
structing an object lesson road will
find the Office Of public roads ready to
act as instructor in the good work, but
the Office has had to make plain to peo-
pie in various sections that, while it
will assist in such work, the communi-
ty itself must take it up in a substan-
tial manner. The Office undertakes to
provide both highway engineers and
experts, who go over the ground and
consider the questions of available ma
terials for road construction as we'll as
plan for the road to be built. They
prepare plans with proper grades and
all details indicated and also in many
