Roads ana Machine Com panies.

Reawakenlns OF national interest In
good roads has directed attention to the
securities OF corporations directly af-
fected by such improvements. Recently
the state Of Pennsylvania voted for $50
600 900 of bonds to be expended In road
building In that State. The creation Of
national highways by Congress Is OF
course the biggest and broadest move
rnent which has been attempted in Civ
ing good roads TO the entire country.
The construction OF the roads undoubt-
eddy will mean Z call for the purchase
Of largo quantitiss of road and eNcavat-
ing machinery and concrete mixers. The
United States census of manufacturers
gives the value Of tho output of the COM
panies manufacturing such items as So
474,2s5. In that calculation no account
In taken Of tho output of companies
which manufacture only one OF two lines
of machinery used In road making In
injection with the manufacture OF
dIssinliiar products. 1t Is stated that
sales for several years of the American
Road Machinery Company have approx
mated S2.000,000 per annum. or about
one-tsnth OF the aggregate bushes. In
It's line under normal conditions. II Is
estimated that in 1919 approximately
$500, 100000 will be expended in the
work OF road construction. and the man
