WORK FOR ROAD SYSTEM
Motoring Bodies Will Support
Proposed Bond Issue.
TRAFFIC INCREASING FAST
State Had 5000 Motor We
hicles in 1905, Now Has
More than 100000.

ORGANIZATIONS OF motorists throughout
the state have begun work on behalf Of
the rDoD.Ooo bond issue for road building
which will be voted on at the November
election. The various party platforms
make no mention OF the subjects In which
the automobiles are Interested. such as
highway improvement. the elimination Of
grade crossings and the need Of uniform
!ty in laws controlling the operation OF
motor vehicles. The huge Issue OF BONDS
for roads voted in 1905 IL now practically
exhausted, and the necessity OF Increasing
the road system becomes more urgent
with tho constant growth Of trahic.
When tho original issue OF bonds was
authorized only one system OF roads was
contemplated under the law. That was
the county system. under which the state
paid half the cost and the county and
town divided the other half. IS per cent
10 the county and 10 per cent TO the town.
Later legislation changed this SO that In
counties OF small assessed valuations the
state pays considerably more than half
Another law established the state sys-
tom, under which the state pays the
whole cost. This system alone Is more
than 400 miles long. Other laws provide
for the construction OF roads In incorpo-
rated villages and for the abolition OF
grade crossings at the partial expense OF
the state.
All these additions TO the road laws
have combined to reduce the mileage OF
construction. so that the two systems
state and county-are only about hall
completed. and the new bond issue IL
necessary TO complete them. Since the
original bond issue was voted the number
OF motor vehicles in the state has In
creased from less than 900 TO over 10000
The revenues from registration and Other
motor sources aggregate more than NOO.'
600 a year. The tremendous traffic throwr
on the highways OF the state has made
high class construction necessary. ana II
has required a constant effort on the part
OF the authorities to build better and still
| better roads.
While the motorists in organized form
have done much for the Improvement OF
| the highways Of New York. every othcl
class OF road users has proiited by thei'
work. Where roads have been built, anC
| especially through routes, farm Vaiue'

have beaten her rival The former Jersey
state champion practically lost because
OF her net shots. She made twenty-six &c
her opponents eleven. Her service was
better than that OF Mrs. Williams. She
had a clean slate while Mrs. William:
had seven double faults against her. The
new champion had thirty-six outs and
Miss Marcus only made thirty. In the
matter of placement drives Miss Marcus
led, % to II.
Miss Marcus played the back court &c
good advantage. She took long. deer
back strokes that baffied Mrs. Williams in
