BIG PROBLEM IN ROAD WORK
Not to Show Need of Improved High
ways or to Raise Money, but to

The value of roads to a rural district

The modern problem in road work is
not to show the need of good roads or
to raise money. The greater problem
before the whole country is 10 organ

erly spent. No longer will the rural
highways be allowed to remain neg

problem TO be solved In Il month or a
year or in several years.
