America has been penny wise and

her highway system. While she has
amazed the world at her seething prog
ress in the automobile Industry she
has not kept pace in the matter Of
good roads building.
This policy of placing thousands of
new cars on the road each year and
not correspondingly providing ways
and means of travel is in sharp discord
with the fundamentals of motor We
Aicle transportation. The automobiles
popularity is traced directly to it's
specific its being a quick means Of
communication. In many sections of
the country motor transportation
could double its efficiency were it not
for narrow highways and too few ap-
proaches
Throughout large sections even pas
scnger car service is not provided for.
