said Alfred Bavis.
THE proposition which they present
of bringing an expert here to investi-
gate the situation is wrong. Since
l have had so much experience with
the public service commission. have
no faith in expert testimony. They
frame their reports to suit those who
obtain their employment.
Il have known instances where five
experts from the same school have
brought in FIVE different reports. Why?
Because they were influenced by
people who had five different views
of the situation.
IF the councilmen fail to appro-
pirate for the South G street bridge,
they will make a serious mistake"
said Mr.. Bavis. For several years
the problem has confronted us how
to relieve the congestion on Main
street. The forcing OF the interurban
cars over the G street bridge would
he the solution"

GOOD HIGHWAYS
DUE To AUTOS
John N. WHY'S Says Modern
Methods of Transport
Increase Values.

The awakening Of public interest to,
the Importance Of good roads in this
country was given its chief impetus
through the agency of the automobile,
according to John N. WHY'S, president
OF the Willys-Overland company. who
has made an exhaustive study OF the
good roads subject.
THE amount of money spent in this
country last year on highway construc-
ton amounted to approximately $780,
000.00 but this huge expenditure was
more than offset by the fact that land
values in most localities were increased
anywhere from 100 to 400 percent by
the road improvements. If an equal
amount of money is put into road i'm
provements each year for the next 10
years, the United States will be able to
boast Of more than 100000 miles OF
good roads representing a cost Of
$500, 100000 and an appreciation in
land values OF fully $4,000, 100000
THE big trunk lines. such as the
Lincoln highway and Dixie highway,
never would have been started had II
not been for the motor car" says Mr.
WHY'S. And these two, I believe to be
but the forerunners Of others that in
time VIII give the United States as fine
a system Of highways as can be found
in the world.
Great Improvement Coming.
What the coming Of the automobile
has accomplished in the way OF road
years is nothing compared to what It
will do in the future. When you stop
to consider that there is more than one
motor vehicle to every so people in this
country, it is easy to understand the
tremendous interest taken in the good
roads movement.
with over 2.000, COO cars in use at the
present time and with an additional
1900, 900 planned for the year 1916, It is
only logical to believe that in the
years to come the proportion OF good
roads in the United States will be far
in excess Of what il IS today.
Figures compiled by experts show
that only 10 percent Of our public roads
are improved. while in many states the
improved roads number less than five
percent. And had it not been for the
motor cars, this percentage would be
still lower for during the past 10 years
we have built more good roads than in
all our previous history
Bad Roads Cause Loss.
Tn the report OF the United States
department Of agriculture II IS esti-
mated that the farmers Of this country
are losing s250,000.00 600 annually on &C
count OF the inaccessibility Of their
products at certain times OF the year,
due to bad road conditions. This loss to
the farmers is equal to the amount
spent last year in road improvement
work and II will be interesting to note
the next government report to see If
the farmers losses have not been
lessened materially by this huge expen-
diture for better roads.
Too much credit cannot be given TO
the automobile for the road improve
ments that are going on all over the
country. The town or village that neg
lects its streets OF roadways is given
wide berth by the tourists in general.

CADILLAC AN EXAMPLE
OF NEATNESS IN DESIGN

An example of the successful efforts
OF motor car makers to simplify the
exterior appearance of their cars is
noted in the Cadillac eight"
Among points which may be cited is
the manner In which tie frame OF the
Windshield is set into The corners Of
the cowl and securely anchored, there
by eliminating the necessity for stay
rods or braces. It is also observed that
the running boards are perfectly clear,
the battery box being concealed in a
compartment behind the dust shield
alongside the running board. IN one
side, and the detachs1 accessories. +~ucb
as wheel jack, tire hose Sad Sas tauk
filler on the opposite side.
Another point is the manner in which
the side lamps are designed and at
tached. which does away with the ex-
posed wiring. The latter not only con-
tributes to neatnsss in appearance. but
by thus concealing the wires they are
protected from the weather, and the
probability Of damage from other
sources is removed.
