To work alone.

In faith and need

RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
II Should Include Everything From
Expensive Concrete to Minor
Dirt Wagon Ways.

What we need and in time will have
is a system of highways which will
ramify from the largest cities to the
doorway of the humblest citizen-vil-
lager or farmer. Such system of
highways will include trunk lines with
expensive concrete or brick surfaces
for the very heavy traffic, including
trucks and automobiles. Less used but
important roads may be of waterbound
macadam or gravel. Perhaps in GER
tain regions where stone and gravel
are not at hand oiled roads may prove
most economical and practical. Minor
wagon ways must remain of native
soil built and maintained with the
road drag. Meanwhile antagonlsm to
road dragging breeds in lack of in
formation or narrowness which fails
to comprehend the facts.-D. Ward
King.
