ASKS RICHMOND TO
AID ROAD PROJECT
Proposed National Highway
Would Pass Through
This City, It Is Said.

The first notification that Richmond
will be called upon to assist in eecur.
ing good national roadways for this
country was received this morning
when Postmaster E. NJ Haas received
a letter from Charles Henry Davis,
president OF the Central National
Highway Association. asking for GER
tain information concerning the city.
and explaining that Richmond was on
the route OF the first government-own-
ed thoroughfare planned by the asso-
citation. The proposed road Is to run
from Washington to San Francisco.
The pamphlet that Postmaster Haas
received. along with the request for
information about Richmond. gave 4
good description Of the need for good
roads throughout the country Accord
ing to the pamphlet. the Central Ma
tional Highway Association desires
vigorous assistance in securing help
full legislation from Congress. The
pamphlet states it is past the time
when the slogan should be have the
States build good roads with National
aid '.and the cry now is good nation
al highways with the assistance OF the
States" There are something over two
million miles of public roads In the
United States, and most Of them are
poorly constructed. and IN bad condi-
ton The association proposes to take
charge OF two and one-half per cent
OF this distance. and put II in good
shape for public use. For this vast un-
derta king. the officers OF the company
want the cooperation OF all the good
roads societies, and automobile asso-
Citations in the country.
Mr.. Haas believes that this is a good
undertaking. and should meet with ap-
proval in this city. Many clubs, such
as the Y. NJ. B. c.. the Commercial and
Motorcycle Clubs, have been interest
ed in the subject for some time, and
the automobile owners are also inter-
ested. Mr.. Haas thinks that the great
est benefit will come to the farmers IL
a good national road is constructed
through Richmond for they will be
able to carry larger loads over good
of hauling their products to the city
will be considerably lessened- The
state OF Pennsylvania has already un-
dertaken a movement OF this sort
within the limits of the state, and has
a network OF excellent thoroughfares
connecting all the county seats In the
state Postmaster Haas adds that this
country has much to learn from Ger
many and France, which countries
have already placed the task Of road
building in the hands Of the national
government
