The problem Of maintaining high
ways constructed with borrowed
money should be given as much con
sideration as is devoted 10 the more
permanent features OF the roadbed.
Il has not been customary for off
cials to face frankly the cost OF the
maintenance and repair OF hond-built
highways at the time the bonds are
issued and before construction begins.
As a matter OF fact, Investigations
made by the department show that in
the majority OF cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built.
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method Of building highways by
issuing bonds
Maintenance is necessary in order
TO insure to the community the maxi

and also to preserve the investment.
The cost OF maintenance and repairs
must, therefore, be studied at the

RIDICULES FORD

In a series of articles addressed to
the American public over his own sig
nature Lord Northcliffe goes into an
exhaustive analysis of the cause and

terest in his articles are his views re-
flecting conditions in America and his
advice that the United States should
enforce its preparedness program
to the letter

passing crack at Henry Ford and
his peace propaganda, declaring that
England looks upon it as fools err

follows in his second article, fore
runner of which appeared in the State
Journal yesterday:
You have internal difficulties of
about our side of the war. Owing to
our censorship you know very little
about our side of the war. Owingg to
the German propaganda with which
your country has been deluged you

meaning people like your Mr.. Ford,

in Lille instead of Detroit and his
