s5O,OOO,OOO FOR ROADS

PARIS, Aug 9. Not less than $50, 900,
900 will be spent in the next ten or
twelve years, putting tar coat on
5000 miles highway, or one-quarter of
the roads of France, according to the
Minister of Public Work, M. Thierry.
The new tourist department at his
ministry is graphing with the problem
of overhauling the roads for the bene-
fit of motor traffic, which has already
reached huge proportions and is threat
ening to ruin the splendid highways
for which France is famous.
NJ. Thierry is convinced that the only
way to combat the wear and tear is to
undertake systematic tarring of the
roads. He purposes to meet the heavy
cost by a graduated tax on automo-
biles, ranging from $40 for 12-horse
power cars to $50 for all over go horse
power.
M. Thierry also says that the tourist
department is going to see France pro-
vided with clean, comfortable and hy-
genie hotels which are found in Ger
many, Austria and Switzerland, but
lacking in the republic, although every
where the food, obtainable in French
country inns, is excellent. Philadel-
