GOOD ROAD BUILDING
GAINS Big IMPETUS
Interruption of Railroad Service
Cause of Boom.

An Increasing interest m good roads,
which Is giving new impetus to i'm
prove them, is seen by transportation
experts as one of the results of the in
terruption Of railroad service. Obsery-
ers point out that the immediate ef-
feet OF the freight embargoes and the
congestion has been to increase long
motor-truck traffic tremendously. The
direct consequence Of this, they say,
has been to direct public attention to
the public roads which must carry the
greatly increased burden.
Already local and State governments
have undertaken plans by which roads
all over the country will be improved
and bridges strengthened. This is in
anticipation of the motor-truck traffic
which will be put upon the roads with
the first breaking OF winter.
National advertisers are also taking
their part in the movement to waken
interest in the national necessity Of
improving the roads. One Of these is
the Autocar Company, of Ardmore,
Pa, manufacturers Of the Autocar
motor truck. which has devoted space
in the newspapers throughout the
country to the furthering of the idea
OF good roads. Another is the Timken
ROLLER Bearing Company, Canton,
Ohio, which Is also advocating in
paid space the strengthening of
bridges and roads.
