Public Health in Cities Demands
Change, Detroit Man Says.

ITO make the statement that it is only
question of time before cities Will take
some legal action 10 remove the horse from
the streets isn't an improbablity," says
Gleeson Murphy, vice-president of the Cen
eral Motors Truck Company. ut is simply
a matter of education and time. but that
time will surely come, and within the next
decade or so.
To-day the horse is municipal luxury.
Ee costs hundreds OF thousands of dollars
to keep the streets clean, and is a menace
t. health, especially in the crowded city
districts. The horse has retarded the proper
sanitation of cities more than any other
one obstacle. We have tolerated the horse
all these years because he has been
necessity, but his days as a necessity has
Iassed. For hundreds OF years he has
been a common beast OF burden. but the
horseless vehicle has been his undoing. His
day OF supremacy is now a matter Of his
tory.
Companies with a large number of horse
drawn vehicles are already apprehensive OF
the coming summer. Last year. curing one
Of the warm SPELLS. more than twelve hun
dred horses dropped dead in New York,

money lost and the disappointments! II Is
because Of this single feature that the
motor truck Is becoming popular. The
truck is not subject 20 the elements-ex-

Total Appropriation for 1912
Will Exceed That of
Any Previous Year.

Nearly slO,000000 was expended for road
work in the United States during 1871, ac-
cording TO estimates made by Good
Roads" OF this city. OF this amount,
nearly s50.OOO.Ooo is shown by the figures to
have been expended In those states alone
in which some form OF state aid Is eX-
tended TO the local units. This latter
amount covers all OF the direct approprla-
tons made by the commemorative, and In
addition, a large amount expended by the
counties and towns.
While IL is impossible TO obtain complete
returns from these smaller divisions, 1t Is
probable that the total expenditures In the
state aid states exceeded the figures given
by perhaps % per cent The remainder OF
the estimated si5O.OooOO0 was expended In
states having no highway departments and
in which the work Is done entirely by the
towns and counties.
large mass Of statistics covering the
work In the state aid states and in the
others Is published in the magazine :
annual review OF road building In the
United States. The present review Is the
first in which any attempt has been made
to go beyond the work done 10y the state
highway departments or analogous bodies,
and forms the hrst accurate report OF any
extent OF the manner in which the vast
sums OF money devoted TO road building
each year are expended.
No better index to the importance which
the question Of good roads is assuming
throughout the country can be found than
in the large expenditures which the fig
