THE COST OF NEGLIGENCE.

"Not until all supervisory road Of
fcials are appointed in accordance
with the recognized principles Of the
merit system will America be sure
OF an adequate road system" says
Richard Henry Dana, president OF the
National Civil Service Reform league.
| Mr. Dana calls attention TO the fact
that from 100000 10 10000 road Of
fcials now have supervision OF an
/ annual expenditure Of well over
500 900 900 for road purposes in the
United States. With comparatively
few exceptions these men are chosen
without regard to their special fitness
for the work and largely on account
of their political affiliations. 4 ses-
sion devoted exclusively 10 the merit
system in road administration will
be held under the auspices Of the
National Civil Service Reform league,
at the Fourth American Road Con-
gress which will be held at Atlanta,
Ga, during the week OF November ..
At this session an earnest effort will
be made TO line up all the powerful
influences represented at the con-
gress in support OF the movement to
take road administration out Of pol
tics and to place il on a sound busi-
ness basis where every dollar will
be expended with a view TO obtain
ing certain definite results.
IAN officials who have direct su-
perylgion Of road construction and
maintenance should be appointed and
not elected, and should be chosen af
ter competitive investigation OF ca
reers and qualifications required byl
law" asserts Mr.. Dana. These men
after they have once been selected
should hold office not for a definite
term but 50 long as they give sat
isfactory service. They should be
chosen as a result Of the compeu-
ton which would be conducted BY
experts under the direc-
ton of civil service commissions, /
and the expert road engines selected I
should be given a wide latitude so
that they may utilize TO the fullest
extent for the benefit Of the state
and county, their ability and expert
ence in the construction and main
tenance of roads"
New legislation will be necessary
and new methods OF handling the
road finances. The fact that the
American Bar association and the
American Bankers association will
also be represented in the con-
gress assures powerful sIppor. for
the efforts Of the Civil Service Re
form league. The active Ua-tic-lz-
tion Of these great national organ
izations in the road movement -s
very largely due to the unt.-iIg -
forts of the American Highway a.
sociation. which, IN conjunction with /
the American Automobile association /
is holding the road congress. The
policy pursued by the highway asso- /
citation of enlisting powerful support |
in its various reform movements IN /
