purpose in carrying local and tourist
traffic In relatively light vehicles. SINH
lar conditions applied along the Lin
coin highway In New Jersey.
The argument Is advocated ut this
time that, despite the inclination Of
local authorities to do everything
within their power In a patriotic en-
deavor to further wartime interests,
II is scarcely fair to expect the county
and state authorities to maintain
such main Travelled routes as the
Lincoln highway, In their pre-war con-
dltlOn, under the heavy traffic of con-
stantly moving government vehicles.
Government aid is solicited to keep
the roads at their best.
SO persistent have become COM
plants to congress that the highways
of the country have been badly dam
aged by motortruck traffic that some
members. especially those serving on
committees dealing with the nations
financial affairs, are making thor
ough study to determine how the stu

is expected that congress will soon re-
ceive requests to make appropriations
running into the millions. The house
committee on ways and means has al
