THREE CLASSES OF HIGHWAYS
Classification 10 Prime step In Fed
eraI Aid to Good Roads, Says
Congressman Borland.

With various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
classification of highways so that
important through routes may be out
lined clearly from the country's maze
of thoroughfares of one kind or an
other, becomes q question of more
and more interest. Congressman w.
p. Borland of Missouri, a good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself on
this subject as follows:
1T will be necessary, in my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high
ways into at least three classifications
The first class is that of the great
oross-state or interstate highways.
The second consists OF the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads, local roads
or lanes. These various classes of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with view to the
amount OF traffic that they can bear
and must bear. The first class should
be OF the most permanent and scien-
tific construction. The second class
could be of a less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved
only to the extent that the community
required. The expense Of building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
"The roads of the first class should
be supported by the taxing power of
a large area Of country. The second
class Of roads should also have a
wide taxing power at least co-exten-
sive with the county and possibly
with group of counties or with
some state aid. This would leave

BETTER ROADS ARE FAVORED
State OF Iowa Is Lauded by Depart
ment Of Agriculture as Model In
Construction Of Roads.

Iowa is lauded by the department OF
agriculture as a model road builder. In
Iowa a measure of control over high
way construction has been given to
the state, and comparison with the
results obtained when the supervision
rested entirely with the counties
shows that state control is the best.
Indiana needs some form of central.
lied power over highway construction
and maintenance. In isolated cases it
Is excellent. Wayne county, for in
stance, has a capable superintendent
OF roads. and its highways are models.
But this does not obtain over the
whole state.-Richmond Palladium.

Is a wideawake hero who recognizes
