ROAD
BUILDING
NATIONWIDE BOOST IS SEEN
All States Of Union Have Avaiied
Themselves of Opportunity Of
fered by Government

, prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the better roads movement Is
receiving nationwide boost is shown
by the fact that all the states Of the
Union have availed themselves of the
opportunity Of participating in the
benefits Of the federal aid road act,
which appropriated $75,000000 for the
construction of post roads and $10,-
100000 for forest roads, according to
the report of the director of the Office
Of public roads and rural engineering,
United States department of agricul-
ture. That the passage Of the act has
stimulated road building is shown by
the fact that in 1915, there were ap-
proximately SAL 100000 of state funds
expended for all highway purposes,
and it Is estimated that in the calendar
year 1917, the aggregate expenditures
Of state funds for this purpose will be
at least $60,000,000. A number of the
states have made specific appropria-
tlons to meet federal aid dollar for dol
lar. Among these are New York, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada,
Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

AUTOMOBILE IS BIG FACTOR
Present War Has Found in Roads and
Motor Cars Means of Moving
Great Numbers of Men.

Two conditions of civic life en-
phasize the necessity for good roads.
One is war. The Roman roads were
built because Rome had vast armies
to move. The present European war
has kept thousands upon thousands
of men busy in eastern Prussia and
western Poland building roads in ter
ritories where before there were only
swampy trails. Many Of the roads In
Belgium and northern France were
built during previous wars, when vast
armies must be moved quickly, so that
the present war has found in roads and
motorcars the means Of moving great
armies as never before. Good highs
ways have made possible q rapid trans
portation of troops which is astonish-
ing the entire world.

calculation as to the volume Of water
the culverts are to carry off in rainy
season and flood time, not in dry
weather, and as to the durability of the
material used in their construction.
There can be no skimping on culverts
or bridges or drainage without waste.
1t is better to have these three things
permanent and adequate than to have
an expensive form of road surfacing
If a choice must be made. The man
who built his house on shifting sand
instead of solid rock has been regarded
for centuries as the prince of fools.
