Good Roads Should be Continuous.

Good Roads Should be Continuous.
The Crowley Signal points out
an important feature in the build
ing of good roads that should be
observed, as follows:
There is a phase of the road
question which is Statewide in
its application. That relates to
the through or trunk lines which
accommodate through traffic.
To leave the construction and
care of these roads in the hands
of local authorities, must result
in uneven and inharmonious con-
struction, unimproved gaps, and
desultory care, involving practi-
cally a failure of such roads, for
a standard of utility.
A highways no longer of pure
ly local interest. Every citizen
of a State is interested in the
roads of that State under present
traffic conditions, and especially
in those roads which connect
centers of population.
