But the rise OF railroads ended the
good roads movement in its infancy
This continued until the nation was
at the mercy Of privately-OWned rail
roads.
Development Of the automobile

impetus; but opinions differ now as
to whether the highway propaganda
owes much to the auto industry, or
vice versa.
There are today 2,250,000 autoes
in use in the United States and 70
per cent Of those made in the last

Besides the $4,000, 900 to be spent
by the federal government and the
states in conjunction, it is estimated
at least a third of that amount will
be spent in the next five years by
counties and small divisions and by
good roads and motoring associations
bringing the total good roads appro-
priation to 500, 100000.
The federal appropriation can be
used only for roads so situated as to
