TO DEMONSTRATE IN SOUTH
Highway Association TO Show Value
Of Practical Maintenance on Road
to Atlanta. Ca.

In order to demonstrate the value OF
practical maintenance Of highways,
the American Highway association.
the central good roads organization Of
the United States. has arranged, in CO
operation with the federal Office Of
public roads and road officials In Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia. for an ambitious main
tenance experiment on the road from
Washington to Atlanta. Ga. Over 700
miles of road are expected to be inn
proved and kept in condition as re-
suit of the initiative of the American
Highway association. The experiment
Is on larger scale than any main
tenance experiment ever undertaken
In this country.
The great maintenance object les
son road extends from the capital Of
the United States through very his
toric section of the country. passing
such famous points as Arlington,
Mount Vernon. the battlefield OF Bull
Run, Chancellorsburg en- route to
Richmond thence extending south

ward through the capitals OF North
and South Carolina, and terminating
at Atlanta
The American Highway association
will enlist the support of the counties
and districts traversed by the road,
and, wherever possible, induce the lo-
cal authorities to place the road under
gineers who will be detailed from the
Office of public roads for that pur
pose under the cooperative arrange
ment.
Probably rs per cent. OF the total
mileage has already been improved by
surfacing OF stone, gravel or a mix
ture of sand and clay. The object OF
the maintenance scheme is to prevent
the improved portions Of the road from
deteriorating from lack of suitable
care, and to make the unimproved
portions as comfortable for travel as
possible with the money available.
With the cooperation Of all different
communities, however. 1t is hoped
that concerted work will be under
taken on the entire stretch OF high
way, resulting in a continuous main
tenance object lesson that will be a
stimulus to maintenance throughout
the country. The American Highway
association has undertaken to raise
the money for the travelling expenses
of the engineers who will supervise
the work.
Leonard Tufts is chairman OF the
committee designated by the associa-
ton to have charge of the campaign.
and has already arranged to place
ITO miles under government engi-
neers. 1t Is expected that all coun-
ties traversed by the road will cheer
fully enter into the arrangement, as
1t is long step toward continuous
stretch of road that will benefit the
entire seaboard.

Better Roads.

Good roads not only cheapens the
cost Of transporting farm produce to
market but makes the country a de-
sirable place to live In.
We hear much talk about federal
aid for good roads, yet II we wait for
this movement to crystalline into a
reality the people of the country will
be riding In mud for some time to
come. The thing to do is to take Off
coats and buckle into plan for local
road improvement. Be booster for
the grading OF roads and follow up the
work with the King road drag for

all states Is the same. viz, keeping the
