STRATEGIC HIGHWAYS
FOR MILITARY PURPOSES

Washington. July 17.-Strategic
highways can now be constructed
pursuant to the provisions of the So'-
100000 Federal Aid roads bill which
has Just been signed by President
Wilson. The first Of these highways
necessary for military purposes
would naturally be the road which
parallels the boundary between the
United States and Mexico, and ira
verses the states OF Texas, New Mex
leo, Arizona and California.
The cost of construction OF these
Jointly built highways is TO be borne
so per cent. by the federal govern
ment and so per cent by the
states: the federal monies being de
vided proportionate to areas, popula-
ton, and post road mileage. The
largest amount allotted to any state
is in Texas, by reason of its large
area. The other three mentioned
states also have a very large allow
ance.
Therefore it would be possible to
secure out of the appropriations for
this year and 1917 over a million and
a half of federal monies, which, to-
gether with the contributions of the
states would make over three million
dollars available for construction Of
the Mexican frontier highway" com
ments Chairman George c. Diehl OF
the A. A. A. Good Roads Board.
"Whie it is not possible to give an
exact estimate of the cost of con
struction per mile, yet it is altogether
likely that the first two appropria-
tions by the National government
would be sufficient to entirely COM
plete this highway, which would be
useful not only from military and
commercial standpoints, but would
attract road travellers from all over
the country, particularly those driv-
ing to or from points in Southern
California.
at is interesting to note that the
next most important highways from
military viewpoint are those along
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards.
Long stretches of these roads have
already been improved, and, from the
monies available from the first and
second appropriations, the connecting
gaps can be completed so that within
period of two or three years com
plete road arteries along the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts and the Mexican
| frontier can be constructed.
There will remain then only the
highway along the northern boundary
of the United States to make a circle
| of highways around the margin of the
entire country. This marginal high
way can be supplemented by three
highways east and west and eight OF
nine highways north and south with
in the limit of the amount stated in
the federal aid good roads bill and
what states will contribute. This sys-
TEN of federal roads, in connection
with what the various states are do
ing, within a period of six or seven
years will make for a most compre-
hensive internal development of the
country, and the highways will serve
military, commercial, and general
| travel"
