tenn.
For a aumber 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 ys&c csag.
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 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,
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 to Judge highway problems.

Of the department and the State Agri
