Quito, In Ecuador, With Winter Above

Quito, in Ecuador. lifted nearly two
miles into thin air, has always boosted

would be just as fair to call its climate

ture that hovers about 60 degrees +. in
the shade, the Quitonian passes his life
in early April or late October.
He escapes the winter, to be sure,
but misses the vernal miracle that re-
deems the higher latitude. But, wheth-
er he feels chilled or baked, he can al
ways turn his eye toward comfort.
Out across the plain. about three
miles to the north, the road drops 5000
feet through stupendous ravine. and
from the high places of Quito ons can
peer down into Il semitropical valley,
its coffee trees and cane fields dancing
in the heat waves.

OF what the first cost in construction,
to take care Of itself under traffic and
with the traffic or use Of t higa-
way constantly increasing as it is
from year to year? And yet is not
this too often tie situation?
A great deal of money is raised by
direct taxation or by bond issues, and
a road is built which is apparently
just what is wanted for the comfort
and convenience of the community.
Being in most cases better when first
completed tlcn the older highways
ear it, it, in many cases, draws travel
rom them, and tne amount of traffic
,ver it thus becomes greater than ever
3efore. Then, irrational as it may
seem in a majority of cases, this
splendid new roadway, with its heav-
ier traffic is absolutely left to shift
sor itself, while tie attention of the
road authorities is turned away and
concentrated on some other new piece
of construction.
The result is, of course, what might
be expected. In a short time little
jefects appear, and once started, these
rapidly grow serious. If the neglect
continues it may be but short While
before the road surface is entirely
gone to pieces and complaints con-
cerning it begin to be heard. If the
reglect continues further, the recon
struction of the road comes to be de-
manded. If some, but still INSULT
cient, attention is laid to the COM
plants and repairs are made to some
extent, but inadequately, then the size
of the repair bill soon becomes an
object of criticism. Generally about
this time criticisms of the original
construction begin to make themselves
heard, and the majority of those inter
ested perhaps come to believe that the
fault was with the way the road was
originally built rather than with any
thing else. AS a matter OF fact, tee
probabilities are that the construction
was too good and too expensive, rather
t.. an too poor and too cheap for what
the conditions actually demanded.
This is the history of most of the road
construction in this country, strange
as it may seem. Tine tault for the
