One Needing Improvement.

One of the principal roads covered on
the recent booster" trip to Leonard
town, Md. by the Retail Merchants
Association was the Walker road from
Good Hope, D. c., to the District line,
where it connects with the macadam-
lied state road on the Maryland side.
In addition to badly needing improve
ment there is one bad turn, which is
almost completely hidden beneath trees
and shrubbery. On one side is a high
embankment and on the other side a
ravine. With the resurfacing of this
stretch of roadway the question Of
widening and clearing away the curve
at this point should also receive at
tention. in the opinion of members OF
the association.
Washington motorists are now taking
advantage of one of the leading high
ways of Virginia, which has recently
been completed and now connects the
Old Dominion with the National Capt.
tai. It is the highway to Mount Yer
non, the home of Washington. The Of
| fee of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture had super
vision, and constructed new gravel
roadway from Gum Springs, Va, to the
entrance of Mount Vernon. The dis
lance is about two and a half miles
This road was under construction dur
ing the past summer and cost about
$4,000.
The work of resurfacing that stretch
Of the gravel highway from Hunting
| Creek bridge. just south of Alexandria.
| to Gum Springs with mixed crushed
| gravel and asphaltic material also has
| been completed, so that now the entire
highway is open to traffic.
Total Cost $e5, 600.
| The road from Hunting Creek bridge
to Gum Springs. where 1t connects up
with the road to Mount Vernon, is
| about four and a half miles long and
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. or
total cost for the entire roadway OF
$4,000. The gravel highway. a portion
of which is covered by the Mount Yer
| non route, extends to Accotink, Va
| This road was constructed in 1914-15
| Two-thirds Of the funds used in the
construction was appropriated by the
| state of Virginia and one-third under
| federal government. Since the present
| Improvement Of the Mount Vernon road
! by the United States government the
state has expended. about $4,000 in
bitches along the highway.
| Another stretch Of road has been
opened during the past year, the new
gravel highway from the government
road south of the Highway bridge on
limits OF Alexandria. This road Is
known as Mount Vernon avenue and
was constructed at cost OF about
5000. It was paid for on a Atty
| fifty basis out OF the county funds
and the experimental fund of the fed
eral government. This road connects
with Washington avenue on the out
skirts Of the city OF Alexandria. There
| is also a branch Of tho Mount Vernon
avenue road. known as Russell road.
which is about IT miles in length and
connects with the corporate limits at
the Union station in Alexandria, This
road cost about $4,000 to construct
and also is Of the gravel type.

INDIANA TAKES STEPS
| TO OBTAIN GOOD ROADS
! Predicted the State Will Expand
Not Less Than $50,0o0,000
in Five Years.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October Is
Indiana means to have good roads.
The first steps have been taken and
statewide consideration is now being
given the subject as to the best means
of development in the future. Without
state highway commission Indiana
bonded for more than s13,000,00O for
road improvement in 1914 alone through
the various local divisions such as
county and township units. clearly in
dicating that the voters want better
roads. With federal aid in sight
through the Bankhead- Shackleford act
it Is predicted that the state will spend
not less than $5O.000,000 in the next
five years for this purpose, and a high
way commission will necessarily be
created in the near future.
Urges Systematic Procedure.
Carl G. Fisher. vice president and
director Of both the Lincoln and Dixie
Highway associations. and one of the
foremost advocates Of good roads in
the United States, recently returned
from Washington, where he represent
ed Indiana as delegate at the confer
once Of the engineers and commission
ers of the forty-eight states in the
interest of better roads. Definite ideas
are presented by Mr.. Fisher in urging
a systematic and businesslike proceed
ure in the work to be undertaken. He
says. in part:
1--WE are now in carnival of GRIM
inal waste of money In this state.
Millions are being poured into the
rat holes of roads not permanent.
Other millions are going through the
failure to keep up the costly roads that
are built but cannot stand up under the
new traffic Still other millions are
being squandered by building roads

that mean nothing-that begin no
