CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure of Super
vision over Thorouehfares.

The realization has become quite
general that in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
$160,000000 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show in
the form of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state Of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity of congested
centers Of population. This results in
heavy annual maintenance cost, av-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made in
the effort to devise types Of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms Of construction, the
states are depending upon the vari-

concrete and vitrifed brick road

Ancient Highway in Maryland.

Ancient Highway in Maryland.
valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of roads
that have been traversed a century or
more, says Baltimore American. There
is strong movement the country
over for the honoring Of the old roads
and trails This is manifest in the
movement that contemplates a memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens of essay
lists and poets. In the far West agi-
tation for the preservation Of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be en-
braced in the conclusions of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities af-
fected But the main proposition is
that the people of Maryland are unit
for the continuance of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
ly advantaged by the construction of
paved streets from the country line,
over roads that enter the city. 1t
has deep interest in the prosecution
of the good roads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities OF
the entire state The traffic and trans
po~tation advantages are immense,
willie the state is thereby elevated in
the view of the country at large, Let
he good roads work so on.

C0CKILL Will make GOOD
National Leagues New Umpire Not
the Type Ball Players Can
Ride Over

The Philadelphia enquirer prints
the following about the former Harris
burg manager who is now utility ump.
in the Tener circuit.
''The only new umpire appointed co
the National League staff this year is
George Cockill, the former Harrisburg
TrilState League manager, and while
he has had very little experience call
ing 'em, President John X. Tener feels
satisfied that he will make good.
"Cockill has made wonderful repu-
tation in the six or seven years he has
served in the Tri-State League. In this
time he played with four pennant win
ners. He managed Harrisburg to two
championships and helped Bill Coughlin
win one at Reading. He was a private
in the ranks when Harry Wolverton
copped the flag with his Williamsport
team in 1908.
"The new man Is college man and
was graduated from Bucknell, which
has furnished so much good material
for baseball. He played on the Bucknell
football eleven and was regarded as one
of the greatest linemen in the east.
Baseball did not diminish Cockill's s love
for the pigskin sport, and he is always
found coaching team at the close of
the baseball season, Last fall he bossed
things for BuckneH.
"COckill knows baseball thoroughly
and should make good as an umpire.
Anyway, he is not the type of man
that ball players can ride over. He is
probably the most powerful man on the
National League staff, and players had
better LAY off him. But Cockill is a
gentleman and is never involved in any
diamond brawls.'
