URGES RESTRICTIONS
IN ROAD BUILDING
Director Page of the Office of Public
Roads Urges Adoption Of Definite
Policy for Next Year.

Washington ID. G.. Dec. l2--Emphasiz-
ing the wartime stress being placed on
all transportation facilities in the United
States, and pointing to the necessity for
selective highway construction as a
means of relief, Director Logan Waller
Page of the office of public roads and
rural engineering. to-day sent letter
| to state highway departments urging
the adoption of a definite policy in good
roads matters with view of eliminating
from next years construction the non
essential roads and obtaining effective
guarantees for the construction of those
which are essential. Need for efficiency
through cooperation of all persons d.
rectly or indirectly instrumental in road
construction, is the keynote of the let
ter.
Calling attention to the fact that road
construction throughout the United
States has been seriously hampered by
reason of excessive costs, scarcity OF Ia
Dor and inadequate transportation fa-
cilities, Director Page declares: "This
situation would be serious even in nor
NAL times, but in this crisis when the
public roads must in addition to their
normal traffic be depended upon to re-
railways are subjected, it becomes mat
ter of vital Importance that some means
be found at least to deal with next sea
sons work so as to assure better re-
suits than are possible under our present
system"
Mr.. Page explains that he has dis
cussed the subject with men who are
identified with road work in various Ga
pacities. He urges the heads of the high
way departments of the states to write
to him, telling their views on the prop
osition Copies of Mr.. Pages letters are
also being sent to contractors and 9TH
ers dealing with the constructive fea |
lures of good road making, with the view
of placing the matter before them in
way which will give them better I'M |
of the seriousness of the |
situation and the need for
all the good roads the country can build.
build.
The policy proposed by Director Page, |
and on which he requests expressions of |
opinion, is outlined as follows:
The selectiye consideration of all |
of next years construction jobs in all
the states and the preparation of a pro-
gram of road work throughout the ma
tion, in which program each construc-
ton job would be listed in the order of
its economic Importance to the particu,
lar territory in which it is located and
to the nation as whole. This arrange
