Those who want feeder roads
well built before a hard surfaced
trunk road is considered would
probably build a barn by commenc-
ing at the ridge pole. A great
railroad system is not built up by

does tree grow from its branches
downward. If the state is permit
ted to build a trunk highway by the

The latter are also provided for in.
