POSTING ROADS
FOR AUTOISTS
American Auto Association
WOrkS to This End Through

MAKING MUCH
PROGRESS IN WEST

With the present day renewal of
travel by road there is becoming ap-
parent the imperative need of a COM
prehensive system Of sign-posting the
highways. This work is occupying
much OF the attention of the touring
information board of the American
Automobile Association, and as a re-
suit a large part of Chairman Long
streth's correspondence with the 300
clubs Of the national organization has
to do with this subject.
American Automobile Association
clubs have spent substantial sums in
marking the roads In their respective
vicinities, and motorists generally
have benefited by this now essential
adjunct to aid the traveller who covers
not only his own State, but goes be-
yond its confines whenever il strikes
his fancy. Since such a large and
growing class are now to be served in
this matter, the conviction has be-
come fixed that the duty is one which
devolves upon city, county and state
authorities, with particular reference
to State routes which serve as lines
of interstate communication.
Indicating the wide extent to which
the American Automibile Association
is interesting itself in this matter
were recent conferences involving its
officers and state authorities in diff
erent parts of the country. At the
request of State Highway Commis-
sioner Bigelow the Pennsylvania Mot
or Federation. As cooperating through
Secretary Paul c. Wolff in the appli-
cation of the new highway law of that
State in the securing of which the fed
Grafton took a prominent part-re-
quiring the posting of all main roads,
which work will be amplifed by the
marking of the tributary routes. In
New Jersey recently the Associated
Automobile Clubs was involved in an
interview which State Road Commits
sioner Stevens called for. Secretary
II. A. Bonnell pledged the aid of the
State motorists in any plans decided
upon by the commissioner, who
keenly realized that there are some
things to do in order that New Jersey
shall not lose her reputation for good
roads. The seashore State has yet to
adopt a form of maintenance which
shall effectively cope with the multi
piled use to which the highways are
now being subjected Furthermore.
the problem has reached an acute
stage, for it is a deplorable fact that
the once-satisfactory roads must be
given more thorough and rugged at
tention 20 Withstand present demands.
] In New York State the Automobile
Association has just established Of
tces at Albany, in charge of Secretary
Ritchie, In order that there may be
/ opportunity for frequent interchange
of information between the State
I highway department and the recog-
nized spokesmen of the organized au-
tomobilists. Not only is the posting
of roads appreciated as a duty of the
moment, but the maintenance subject
is being answered by a patrol plan
