chairman of the good roads committee
OF the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce. 1.-THE advent OF the au-
tomobilc and motor truck has brought
new problems that must be studied
and solved
''In Massachusetts 50 1-2 per cent OF
all traffic on the state highway sys-
TEN last year was motor driven. In
New York City automobiles. motor
trucks and motor busscs constitute
nearly sevcn-tenths of all wheeled
traffic exclusive OF street cars and mo-
torcycles. Similar conditions Will
soon prevail in all parts Of the coun-
try.
Rapidly changing traffic conditions
demand the services of tcchnially
trained men who are not only quail
fled civil engineers, but who have made
study of road economics and tho
wearing qualities and cost Of con-
struction and maintenance of different
kinds OF pavcmcnts. because the proper
administration of road affairs is more
essential than the highest degree OF
engineering skill
Too often faulty road conditions

mail On October IL six two-ton trucks

their guns ammunition and full field
equipment from Fort Mcpherson to
Fort Oglethorpe. The Journeys viii be
made\ under careful observers so that

Of the trips will be obtained. This
Information will not only include the
facts relating to the actual runs. hut
also the time and cost of loading and

the trucks. While information obtained

them. is not more than general in

trance into the war various agencies
were discouraging continuance or

to the situation. We know that food
stuns that should go to Europe may
rot on the farm for lack OF adequate
transportation, and that our hghtinS
strength overseas may be seriously ar
fectcd because Of the difficulty OF get
ting munitions from the inland FAC

conditions action is necessary, and the
