Dut merely assigned to show the facts
to those who openly allege that the
highway funds have been squandered,
and who argue against the proposed
amendment to the State constitution
on the ground that much of the
money might be wasted or-worse.
The Sproul law and the 1911 appro.
priation contemplated the making OF
these surveys and maps. They are
necessary in building a State road
system. Every State which has built
good roads has had to make similar
maps of its highway. Without them
the roads could not be improved,
nor could intelligent plans for good
road construction be made.
In this, as in a great variety Of
other subjects connected with the
roads there is only needed a plain
statement of the facts to change an
objector into a good roads advocate.
There seems no possible argument
against the constitutional amendment
providing fifty million dollars with
which to build the roads that a close
study of the facts themselves will not
overcome. The exercise of ordinary
horse sense in getting at the truth
of the subject in all its phases will
compel every voter to see for himself
that not only his own best interests,
but the best interests of the Common.
wealth as a whole are in the direc.
ton of the adoption Of the constitu-
tional amendment; the issue of bonds
by the Legislature of 1915, and the
building of a system Of highways
which will develop Pennsylvania
resources, and place its people on an
equal footing with those of other
advanced States in the pursuit Of
wealth, health and happiness.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1913-10-22
NOT A DEFENSE.
ONLY THE FACTS
Has The Highway Department
Been UnduIy ExtraVagant
PRELIMINARY WORK IS DONE
Accurate Road Maps Required Before
Construction of Good Roads Could
Start-Otherwise Funds Would
Be Expended improperly.

Notwithstanding the fact that Gov
ernor Tener plainly stated, at the
Harrisburg Good Roads Convention,
September is, that the Legislature of
1915 wiz have the work and RESPONSE
bility Of enacting the laws authoriz-
ing and regulating the issuing of the
proposed road bonds, and a new ad-
ministration the duty of putting them
into operation, provided the constitu-
tional amendment is carried, there
are still unthinking people who at
tempt to argue otherwise.
Whether rightly or wrongly, a senti-
ment seems to exist in the minds of
some persons that the State Highway
Department has been unduly extrava-
CANT In the expenditure of the States
highway funds, but few of the persons
making such suggestions have ever
read the highway law, or know the
details of its provisions.
While this phase Of the road sub
ject has no direct bearing on the
constitutional amendment, which
must be passed if the roads are to
be built for the use of the present
generation, it is wise to correct mis-
apprehensions which may exist in
connection with highway subjects.
One Of the provisions of the Sproul
highway law was that accurate road
maps should be made of every county
In the State. This is a work of
great magnitude, requiring the sur.
vey and measurement by skilled sur
veyors Of every mile of road in Penn.
sylvania. Not only must the location
OF the roads be established, but the
width; the radius of curves; the ir-
regularities of property lines; the
streams; the drainage area and water
outlet, all must be included in this
permanent record. Its immediate
practicability concerns mostly the
roads included in the State highway
system, for it will frequently be neces,
sary, in improving these highways, to
change locations to secure better
grades, correct the alignment, avoid
grade crossings, and secure better
lines Of sight for the avoidance OF
accidents, buying or exchanging road
property. In order to do this the
maps must be perfect and must be
kept corrected as such changes are
made.
This surveying and mar making,
requiring the services of skilled and
competent men, is expensive. Up to
the date of the last report of the De-
partment more than thirty-fve thou,
sand miles of the highways of the
State had been surveyed and placed
on the maps, and the cost of survey.
iny and mapping each road can be
found in the published reports.
A close study of the reports dis,
closes the fact that in nearly every
instance, the work was done at a
cost considerably less than would
have been charged by an engineering
and map-making firm. Wherever coun.
ty surveys were available in accurate
form they were utilized; but it fire.
qHently occurred that there were
errors in these county surveys that
had to be corrected, and in most
counties the surveys were so incom-
plete as to be of little use.
This is not intended as a defense
of the present highway department,

That Official Records May Be
Completed.

In France, as In some other coun.
tries, every citizen has an official his

as his real history, but still import.
ant. From this there follow at times
quaint consequences. If a woman ID
married, for example, a wife she re.
mains officially though the husband
may be missing.
Consider the case of the painter
who went fishing on Anthie bay. He
has not since been seen. The body oil
n man who went with him was
washed ashore l~ifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing proof
that his wife had been made a widow.
She thought so and in due time she
sought to have it recorded in her Of
hcial history that she was a widow.
We are familiar with applications to
a court Of justice for leave to pre-
sumo the death of persons who have
vanished. But the French Judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her official
history a wife and there was no certif-
cate to justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without a certif-
cate or reasonable documentary evil
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was a way round. The be-
reaved woman applied for a divorce on
the ground of desertion. Since death
&c hnNTnnI IL
KIND OF desertion, the court of Mon
treuil decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an Independent woman and apparently
both the law and she are satisfied. But
you will observe that the official his
tory must now record the wife of a
dead man as a Divorce, which does
not seem very creditable to official
history.
