BIG PROBLEM IN ROAD WORK
Not to Show Need Of Improved High
ways or to Raise Money, but to
Spend Funds Properly. ~

The value of roads to rural district
is becoming more and more apparent.
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 to organ

highways be allowed to remain neg

In and around all communities on

all roads have been improved to en-

only makes communities independent
of any one particular line of trans

that community efficiently and econom-
