10000 English Women Send Petition
to Queen Mary Stating Their
Grievance.

England has instituted road board
for the special purpose OF looking aft
er the highway problems which have
come up since the motor car came in
to general use.
This road board expects to draw al
most 100000 annually from taxes
on motors and petrol. The fund will
be used in making advances to local
authorities for the purpose of con-
structing new roads, widening existing
main roads, cutting off corners, level.
ling hilly roads and mitigating the
dust nuisance.
While all these Improvements at
feet the general public as well as mo-
florists the last item is almost wholly
for the benefit of those who do not
ride. To many of these persons the
dust nuisance is a very real one, road
dust of course being both injurious to
health and destructive to clothing.

This last cause of just complaint"
says the queen, was one of those re-
ferred to In the recent women's anti
motor petition, prepared for presenta-
ton to Queen Mary, which her Maj
esty consented to receive, and with
the signatories of which she was
pleased to express her sympathy.
1.-THE petition purported to be from
the cottage women of the United
Kingdom of whom no fewer than
10000 signed it. They are women liv.
ing by much frequented roads. who
declare that their lives are made q
misery by motor car traffic, that the
lives and limbs of their children are
always in danger and finally that
their things are ruined by the dust
raised by passing motor cars.

cars should be compelled to 60 SLOW
