BETTER ROADS IN MIDWEST.
Michigan Takes Forward Steps-South
Yet Far Behind.

States of the east middle west and
far west are doing the most toward
building good roads. according to the
records of the good roads committee
of the American Automobile associa-
ton. The prairie and Rocky mountain
states and the south are waking up.
but have not accomplished much in
their present legislative sessions. New
York leads all the states with her new
$50 100000 bond issue, Pennsylvania
comes next. with Massachusetts. New
Jersey AID Connecticut following.
Michigan is the leader among the
states of the middle west Wayne
county, in which is Detroit, plans to
build soon more of the concrete roads
which have been the wonder of the
automobile world in recent years.
Indiana has made the greatest ad-
vance of any state in resembling law
which made the building Of the very
best roads impossible The old law
limited the kinds Of roads that could
be built to two, macadam and gravel.
The law passed at the 1913 session of
the Hoosier legislature removes this
limitation and permits the building of
any kind of roads the people may
choose. The unit Of option is the
county. as in Michigan.
Illinois and Ohio also nave adopted
progressive good roads legislation this
spring. Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Iowa are moving forward, though not
so rapidly as the central states. On
the Pacific coast California has done
wonders. many of the counties voting
the good roads bonds authorized by
the legislature Washington and Ore
gon. though in much more primitive
condition. are beginning to follow Cal
ifornia's lead. The south is most
backward Of all Most Of the south
ern states have taken only the rudi-
mentary steps toward road improve
ment.
