against the methods of this company
which has used newspaper and farm
paper advertising extensively, had been
received by the national vigilance

revision of the system, so that at least
on main roads the most permanent
form of surface be adopted. Certainly
something stronger and more durable

driven TO the conclusion that prepared

be made of special material, continuous
and smooth in character, and sufficient

the traffic and would lengthen the life
Of the road ten times its present

is bound to come, because the present
expensive method Of preparing great

Under Secretary LaZansky the figures
were 81 cents and 81 cents. Secre-
taTy May awarded the contract at p
cents and a cents. Under Secretary
Hugo's administration the price was
reduced TO IL cents. The plates, while
Mitchell Mey was Secretary, were
those when failed from the start.
They were rejected completely, and
the contractor. naturally. lost heavily.
The plates for 1917 registration rep
resent slight increase in price over
&c cents a set, owing to greater cost
Of metals and dyes. The order for de.
livery for 1917 represents 100000 sets
Of plates, just about five times the
number ordered in 1910.
In Massachusetts the plates cost
eight cents Sc. They are not OF
onamelled ware. as they are in New
York State, but il is observable that
they stand up well in use. They are
made in Ohio. Secretary Hugo was o.
the opinion that painted plates might
be used in New York this year, but in
order to see that no more defective
plates were used delivered for 1917 he
decided against the use Of the painted
plate, although its price is lower. A.
l6 cents a set the plates come to about
SIS .000 and if il were possible to save
half that sum and obtain plate which
appears TO give all the service that IL
cense tag is required to give it seer.s
that it would be a worth while economy.
The more so that, in spite of the
contract being hedged about with the
usual bonding restrictions, the plates
as delivered in the last two or three
years have shown flaws in great num-
bers.

SUGGESTST TRACKS

SO Little of Surface is in

of State Hugo.
BY FRANCIS VI. HUGO.
Secretary of State.

There Is an interesting parallel in
regard to road construction in this
country in the history of railways.
When at first locomotives and coaches
were small light iron rails lasted for
quite a time, being considered sufii-
GENTLY strong. But when the demands
of traffic necesstated the use of heavier
rolling stock and locomotives steel rails
began TO be used until they have now
entirely superseded the old iron rails
of some fifty years ago. Gradually
also steel rails have become heavier
and heavier in sections, until at present
on some of the best railway systems
sections weighing over one hundred
pounds TO the yard are used, and it is
admitted that these are none too heavy
for the fast and heavy traffic which
they have to bear.
Pursuing this parallel, it may be
asked whether, in consequence of the
changed character of road traffic, more
and more mechanical and greater IN
