In discussing the good roads cues.
ton with reference to the automobile
business, Mr.. Schuman said:
The autmobile is here to stay. If
we had better roads there would be
more automobiles sold, naturally. One
of the principal points in building a
road is foundation. If the top falls
away you still have the foundation.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-06-24

but If the base is gone, then the road
is worse than useless.
Some time ago $4,000 was spent
on a piece of road on the other side
of the island, one end of which went
to pieces before the other end was
completed. This was due to poor
foundation. With principle estab-
lished Of first making the foundation
substantial, the good road question
will be answered, when the people
realize what good roads mean to a
community" - ~ -">.
