the Allies through the Hindenburg line

that Congress Is now engaged in writing
off the books authorization for the ex-
penditure OF $15,000,000. which will not
be needed now that the war Is over and
we will be spared the pain OF raising
that sum. We should also be thankful
that only 10000 American men have
found . resting place In France and
that the others are returning to us.

ATTENTION TO EARTH ROADS
Authority on Highway Construction
Likes Concrete, but Favors More
Care of Lanes.

'MOre attention has got to be paid
to the earth roads if the coming bond
elections are to go over" This is the
opinion of E. l.. Stevens, inventor and
road expert. Mr.. Stevens is, perhaps,
one of the most unique characters in
the road-building world. A graduate
civil engineer, he felt the tremendous
need for the perfection and develop
ment of the road system Of America.
He stepped out from the promising
channels of the regular engineering
profession and went down almost be-
low the level Of ordinary men to study
road building, says Rocky Mountain
News. He has made road building and
maintenance his life work and is now,
probably, as we'll qualified as any man
Polk County news. [volume] (Benton, Tenn.) 191?-1983, 1919-06-05

to tell the methods for the proper up
building of the nations highway sys-
TEN.
For number of years Mr.. Stevens
has been highway commissioner for
the Estes Park highway. This piece
Of road work in itself is testimony
to his ideals. He is also the inventor
of the Stevens improved road drag,
one of the simplest and most efficient
road machines on the American mar
ket.
Mr.. Stevens believes in concrete
highways and prepared boulevards,
but he also believes that the earth
road, which comprises more than 80
per cent of the country's highways, is
of no less importance. "a concrete
highway isn't going to do a farmer
much good if he has got to haul his
load three miles through hub-deep mud
before he gets to it," is Mr.. Stevens
attitude.
The farmer is the man who is going
to pay for most of the country roads,
and although concrete roads are need
ed where the traffic is sufficiently
heavy the earth roads that feed the
concrete road must be kept up.
AS an inventor of road machinery,
a road engineer, road supervisor and
a road worker for his probabilities
and the life dream of better roads as
his idealism, Mr.. Stevens is ably quail
flied 20 judge highway problems.
