that Is required by no leans calls for
the most expensive surfaces intended
only to support the heaviest traffic.
Along the southeastern seabOard, for
example. good sand clay roads can be
built at u cost as low as $1,000 per
mile or less. In these sections. say
the specialists OF the department OF

though these very surfaces may prove

The task Of creating, therefore, a
thoroughly satisfactory system Of high
ways for the United States IL by no
means as hopeless a n as It might
seem ut first sight. We have. In fact,
gone a long way toward achieving It
for the people who have become really
Interested In the question. In 1913
something Owe 5000. 100000 was ex-
pended In money and labor on the
roads Of the United States. an Increase

or anything like 1t, continues In the
next ten years and II there IL the same
increase In the scientific application OF
the money progress Will be more than
satisfactory.
1t Is, however. as necessary to spend
the money wisely as to have the money
to spend. Not every road Is worth the
same amount OF Improvement. not ev-
cry road Is worth improving ut all. The
classification Of highways In accord
ance with their traffic requirements Is.
therefore, a necessary preliminary to a
proper campaign Of Improvement. In
most sections such a classification
would reveal the fact that from 5 to 10
per cent of the mileage consists Of
main trunk lines used heavily by traffic
originating both in and out of the
country and forming Inks that can be
forged into u chain Of great impOr-
lance to the state or ever to the nation.
An additional mileage. ranging from 10
to 20 per cent Of the total. will be found
to consist Of secondary roads impOr-
tant for market traffic. The remainder
will be made up Of feeders and neigh
bOrhoOd roads which 1t IS, Of course.
important to have as good as possible.
but on which it would be bad business
to spend large sums OF money.
The amount of money that it Is good
business to spend is determined by the
amount OF traffic over the road ex-
pressed in ton miles and the cost OF
hauling per ton mile. A ton mile, 1t
may be said. Is one ton OF produce
hauled one mile. Ten tons of produce
hauled one mile Is expressed as ten ton
miles. and one ton hauled ten miles Is
also ten ton miles. BY improving the
road the cost Of hauling per ton mile Ia
greatly reduced. II the traffic Is sum-
GENTLY heavy this reduction will
amount to much more than the interest
on the bonds and will leave an ample
margin for the redemption Of the prin-
cipal. In other words. the community
