the city merchant.
Suppose the customer wants
something the merchant does not
have In stock--a plow, bolt OF dress
goods, or whatnot Formerly both
merchant and customer were at the
mercy of an uncertain express and
freight service by railroad. The ar
ticle might be shipped quickly from
the city, but 1t would be delayed en-
route and day or two or three days
lost.

Now the country merchant telc-

customer does not go to the city when
he can get what he wants at home.
Everywhere auto truck freight
lines radiate out thru the country
from the big cities over the paved
roads OF California. They serve ter
ritory for 75 and 100 miles from the
cities. Around Los Angeles these
auto truck lines take out and bring
In goods from radiaus of l50 miles.
Their service is much quicker than
that OF the railroads and they bring
the producer more directly in touch
with the consumer.
The volume of business handled
by these auto trucks is enormous and

BUILD ROADS NOW.
SAYS H. H. EL|NG
Portland Overland Manager
Tells How Highways Have
Developed California.

II ever there was time when ore
son should build good roads. and
more Of them, and still more. spend
ing every available dollar for that
purpose, it is right now while the war
is in progress.
That is the emphatic opinion Of II.
II. Fling, manager OF the Pacific
Overland branch in Portland. The
reason for his belief is what has hap
pened in California as q result Of the
Tar sighted good roads policy that
has given that state the finest high
way system in the United States, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Mr.. Eling has always been for good
roads. Not until a recent automobile
TRIP thru California, however, dur
ing which he drove in an Overland
car from the northern line almost
thru California--for almost all the
way over paved highways - did he
come To realize the extent to which
good roads bring prosperity t. the
communities they serve.
What impressed him most deeply
was not the growth of the larger
cities but that of the small towns
along the highway routes. Their de
vclopment. says Mr.. Fling, has been
astounding.
The development that has fol
lowed the building of good roads in
California said Mr.. Eling. is one
of the most remarkable things | have
ever seen. Along the routes of the
paved highways today sleepy hamlcts
have become lively and prosperous
towns and former towns are thirty
ing cities. New towns have grown
up. The transformation has been
amazing. What has done it: Ask
that question of any citiscn ana he
Will reply az once that good roads
hav" done ii.
Just as development followed the
building of the railroad into me-.
country. so the building of paNeH
o2ds has brought business and pros
rcrity To the territories they trJvcl se
The results have been quicker in
coming and are more pronounced
because the resulting automobile
traffic is far greater than that which
moved over the railroad.
Builds Up Small Towns
"A particularly notable feature cr
this country town development is the
prosperity OF the merchants and bus
mess men Of the towns ! found i'm
the answer complete ryfutatiou of
the argument that development cc
trunk line roads from the big cities
diyerts business from the country
merchant to the city merchant.
Instead Of that the business of the
country merchant has increased
greatly. II used to bc that the folks
of his town and OF the surrounding
country went To the city to do their
outfittinG Now they buy direct
of their own merchant They do this
because their merchant, being in
quick, direct communication with
the city by automobile truck lines

Cam non and<Jchr streets and the Lafay- cite street extension from State street to Fairfield avenue, will cost the city over $500, 900. While the majority of cities are holding up large public im- provements for the present because of the high cost of materials and the scarcity of labor believed to be more necessary in other lines, Bridgeport officials propose to put through their program, and the city will have to pay a bonus to get the work done.
