u. S. AIDS IN ROADMAKING.
Improvement Marked and Many States
Now In Line.

Improvement of the public roads of
the United States is to he greater this
year than ever, according to the re
ports received from all parts of the
country by cX-Sccrctary Wilson Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. a joint committee OF congress is
engaged in an investigation OF the
feasibility of federal aid in the con
struction. Improvement and maintc-
nance of public highways, and mum
ber of the state legislatures have con
sidered good road legislation. In con
ncction with the general impetus that
the good road movement has recently
had In all parts OF the country, the
director OF the office OF public roads
says:
TOO much stress cannot be laid
upon the Importance OF maintenance in
connection with the work OF improving
the roads. The people in nearly all the
states are filed with enthusiasm for
road Improvement and are spending
enormous sums OF money In the con
struction of superb roads
ITO maintain the roads in good con
dition year after year requires con
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay is indefinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the people even
tually IL they allow their roads to go
to utter ruin. The thing for all advo-
Gates Of good roads to do is to urge
continuous. systematic maintenance
and setting aside every Year of an
amount per mile estimated by the en-
gineer In charge to be sufficient for
the maintenance of the road--a course
which must make for economy and
efficiency"
