AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY.

Highway Commissioner Coleman is
calling attention TO the inadequate
road facilities now existing between
tho cities in Eastern Virginia and he
tween these cities and Washington.
These roads, as they now stand. are
mot only unfit for ordinary traftc, but
are particularly unat for the unusual
traffic that finds its way over these
routes at this time
strings Of army trucks arc passing
along these ways and are frequently
halted al broken bridges. such stops,
which involve the repairing OF these
places. necessitate delays that are
enormously expensive when the truck
trains are under hurry orders to reach
certain destination
Army camps arc located at many
points in the territory threaded by
these roads and their daily use by
heavy vehicles are military neces-
sary. To relieve the over burdened
railroads the state highways are the
subjects Of important requisition. and
besides, it is impossible to conceive OF
eliminating them from the govern.
