STATED IN BRIEF
Geographic Chronicle of State
Happenings.
WAR REQUIRES GOOD ROADS
Increased Use of Highways by Auto
mobiles and Motortrucks Demands
Persistent Maintenance, As
serts Highway Engineer.

Madison. Feb. Estate Highway
Engineer Hirst, in his remarks at the
closing of the seventh annual road
schol of the Wisconsin highway com
mission, summed up the Wisconsin
highway program for 1913 as follows
The fact that this years road
school had larger attendance of those
actually engaged in road work than
any preceding school is the best indi-
cation that interest in the highway
movement remains undated in Wis
cOnSin.
THE crystalized sentiment of the
road school was that while road work
must and should be sub0rdinated to
the necessity of winning the war. new
ertheleSS road work has its proper
place in the economics of the present
situation.
THE policy adopted by the United
States office of public roads and fed
eral officials of selection of improve
ments for 1918 on the sole basis of
their service to the country at large
III me JIcSGlI CEISlS was iUuOTStu Ill
other words, new road construction
will be undertaken in Wisconsin only
when this new construction can JUS
tify itself on the ground that it is an
emergency road of use for transport
tatiOn of persons or things.
"A program for the Wisconsin high-
way commission providing for the
most intensive maintenance of the
state trunk highway system so that
this system might be kept in the best
possible condition regardless of the
type of road, met unanimous approval
and maintenance on all roads, whether
state, county or town, as opposed to
excessive construction was urged by
all.
Wherefore, While it is expected that
Wisconsin will build a large amount
of its most important road work in
1918, this construction will not equal
normal building program We're we not
at war. On the other hand, since
traffic on rural highways by autOmo-
biles and mOtOrtrucks is increasing
every day, due 10 the emergency Of the
war, the necessity of persistent main
tenance becomes paramount"
