mo state roads are designated

has as yet made no complete
plans. Engineer Peck of the
commission is at present travel
ing over the state getting the
first-hand information about the
relative Importance of roads in
each county.
1t is expected that, as a result
of this investigation, the state
highway commission will formu-
late a system of state roads to be
covered by a five year period of
road construction. Of course it
is hoped that the system will be
made up of the trunk lines and
branches extending into each cou-

According to the published ten
tative plans of the highway COM
mission, it is their purpose to dis
trict the state and begin this year
to improve the roads in the first
