URGENT NEEDFOR
MORE HIGHWAYS
Only Relief for Increasing

retary RedfieId Says.
USE OF MOTOR TRUCKS

That there exists very urgent neces-
sity for increasing rather than curtail-
ing highway construction is emphasized
by the announcement of Secretary Red

who says that fuller use of the highway
system Of the nation, in addition to the
waterways. offers the only relief from
n shipping situation that must newt
ably become serious through increas-
ing government demands upon the rail-
roads.
The public is forewarned that with
record-breaking farm products to be
moved this fall and greatly increased
output by mills and factories. the high
ways will be called upon to carry a
great deal more of the commerce of the
nation that ever before. Not only Will
the volume of hauling to market over
snort roads be much heavier. but there
is certain to be big development in the
use of motor trucks for local distribu-
ton and for freighting over through
routes for distances Of 100 miles and
more.
Long-Distance Trucks Wanted.
That some communities are already
confronted with the situation described
is shown by recent announcement of
the TRANSPORTATION bureau of the Phila-
delphia Chamber OF Commerce, which
says that II is in receipt of numerous
Inquiries for the names OF parties en-
gagged in long-distance rotor-truck
hauling.

Maintenance on heavy traffic macadam
roads kept in perfect repair Is costing

Added to this is the original cost of the
road, showing that in the matter of ul-
innate expenditure the cheaper road
will soon cost far more than the dura-
BILE type.
This takes no account of the greater
power required to operate car on an
inferior type of road, an economical
factor of the highest Importance. but
usually overlooked by the owners of au-
tomobiIes. For example. in single
