THE GOOD ROADS GOSPEL

The United States has approximate
ly 1880 900 miles Of highways. Not
one mile can truly be called ma
tional highway. State highways are
relatively short, prosably wen under
& per cent of the total. Therefore
over IS per cent Of our roads are
controlled By counties or local con-
munities. Less than 10 per cent OF
all our roads have any semblance Of
Improvement. The building of So
coo miles Of national highways may
seem like a revolutionary ldeas yet
this is but little more than 2 per
cent Of our total road mileage. France
has a national highways system, com
prisIng per cent Of her total mile
age. And France holds a pre-emi'
nent place among all nations In the
excellence Of her roads.
