the country in the cost of hauling the
present record breaking crop if 20
per cent of the public highways
of the country were improved,
is the assertion of ]. e. Pennyback-
cr, il, executive secretary Of
the American road congress, which
is to be held in Atlantic City
September 80 to October 5. Mr.
Pennybacker, before becoming the
secretary of the American Associa-
ton for Highway Improvement,
/ which, with the American Automo-
bile Association and the National
Association of Machinery and Ma
terial Manufacturers is holding a
eorFention at Atlantic City was the
chief Of the road management de-
partment in the United States Office
of Public Roads, has made a com
paratige study of the cost of haul
ins crops over good and bad roads
Because of his knowledge of the
actual needs of the country, Mr.
Pennybacker was selected as the eX
eeutiye secretary of the American
+ Roads Congress, which is to crystal
i1e the road movement in America.
In an interview Mr. Pennybacker
says that he believes that the Ameri-
can Road Congress will soon influ-
ence public sediment that it will be
merely matter of few years be-
fore 20 per cent Of the public high
ways of the United States will have
been improved. At the present time
little over per cent of the public
highways are of the improved type.
@The governments prediction
that the crop now being harvested
will exceed any previous years
yield, said Mr., Pennybacker,
should serve to call attention to
the great loss that are being sus-
tanned by farmers and consumers in
the hauling of crops. 1t is estim1t-
ed that the improvement of the
main roads of this country approx
imately, 20 per cent, would result in
an actual saving of at least $3.50,
1000 in the cost of hauling alone,
which would be sufficient to inn
PROVE $4,000 miles of road at aver
age cost of $1,000 per mile, In five
years this would improve 250,o0o
miles, which would be sufficient to
bring the total mileage of improved
