ROAD REPAIR

The New York legislature has v0t-
ed $1,000, 900 as an emergency fund
for highway repair and maintenance.
The measure is frankly regarded as
military.
State roads were in such bad CON
dition that the transport from wes-
tern factories of military supplies
essential for our armies abroad was
seriously hindered. Those roads had
become. for all practical purposes,
military roads" and had to be main
tanned as such. The improvement
work decided upon will make them
available.
The matter might be looked at in
still broader way. Today it is hard
TO say that any road Is not in reality
military road. Almost every high
way has a war use. just as almost
every industry has. The develop
ment of motor truck traffic has added
immensely TO the transportation value
OF rural roads. Main thoroughfares
are pretty sure 10 carry war material
OF some sort And every thorough,
fare, however remote, Is needed to
carry food, which is just as import.
ant.
Every state in the Union might well
regard every road as military, and
proceed accordingly to make its
whole network of intercity transpor-
tation more serviceable. More money
ought to be spent on roads this year
than ever -before. Not grated. not
wasted, but spent for value.
