GOOD ROADS.

The good roads movement has
struck the United States in the
last decade and continues to
grow with increased momentum
year by year. There is being
spent yearly by the country near.
~ two hundred million dollars
on rural roads, about twice the
annual expenditure ten years
ago. The faith of the people in
good roads has increased in the
same period even faster in pro.
portion, and this faith is grad.
ually crystallizing, and one Of the
results is the bond issues of
many of the counties of Florida
and other states.
The automobile is greatly re.
sponsible for added increase in
the belief in good roads, but it is
by no means the only cause. The
education of the people along eco.
monte lines is also an important
factor. The automobile is no
longer a machine of luxury for
the use of the rich, but one of ne.
cesSity for the use of and within
the reach of big portion of the
people. Most tax payers (who are
the ones who build roads, have
sufficient use for automobiles to
make the question of building
roads a good business PROPOSE.

movement can no longer be dis.

for the benefit of the rich automo.
