the entire area has only ten times as many
miles of roads as the length Of the shore
lines.
1t takes long time to build roads. High
way engineers are few and lar between.
Like other branches of engineering, the
building Of roads calls for high degree Of
skill and common sense There has not been
enough encouragement given to highway en-
gineers to tempt the young man into this
Fascinating branch 1t should be part OF
the Governments work to give it. TO take
care of so huge a job as providing roads
paralleling our shore lines, we must train
our engineers for that work.
But shore-line roads are useless unless
thew connect with the back country, and that
means the improvement Of the existing roads
and the construction of new ones. Old
roads must be improved by reducing the
heavy grades that now exist on many OF
them, and by providing the main ones With
hard surfaces on well-dralned subsoll
Our road builders have had taste OF
constructing highways in hurry In the
camps and environments, one OF the Dig
problems was how to build roads IN record
time that would stand the traffic. Local
conditions governed the choice OF materials
IN MANY instances, but the majority OF the
improved roads were of the macadam type.

GOOD ROADS FOR DEFENSE
By John S. Crandell

Formerly professor Of highway engineering
at Pennsylvania State College.
Ii we wanted to move troops along our
coasts to protect them from enemy raids
could we do it? Have we good roads
throughout the entire length Of coast line
to be able to move rapidly large bodies of
soldiers at any season Of the year from place
to place along the shore? Can we move
troops along our highways in the spring Of
the year from the interior of the land to the
unguarded coasts? Can we move them over
our roads at any time Of the year? Of
course we cannot. We never have had a
comprehensive system Of national highways.
We never have had any system at all.
The ocean shore lines of the United States
are q, 1854 miles long, including bays and
islands, The mileage Of roads in the whole
country is something over 100000, so that

roads in twenty of them, and eleven other
camps or AVIATION fields used tar for sur
face treating the roads, ct seems strange
that this material, once an unwelcome by
product Of illuminating gas and the coke
industries assumed the position of one of
the principal factors in the waging of war.
Dyestuffs, explosives, medicines, road ma
terial-they were but few of it's contribu-
tions.)
Reports from the war area told us that
the roads there are built mainly of macadam,
and that under the extremely heavy traffic,
the bombing, and the other unusual condi-
lions, these roads were the sole reliance of
the armies This is not surprising to those
who have studied the road problem for
years. Indeed, it was no more than was
to have been expected. The only objection
to these roads was the dust nuisance The
remedy for this would have been to send
refined tar abroad to surface treat these
roads,
under pressure Of time, much was learned
by the engineers and contractors that would
be of use in building such roads as are adj
vocated above. AS a rule, the average con-
tractor builds about three miles of road
year. At the environments a mile of road
was constructed every four days. Of course
this does not mean that a mile of improved
road was built in this short time, but mile
Of earth road was constructed every four
days, and on seven miles of such earth
roads were placed tar-bound macadam tops.
The environments had about twenty five miles
of roads built in ninety days.
There must be sufficient reasons why tar
was used in so many Of the camps, and these
to be had in nearly all parts Of the coun-
, try, thus doing away with costly and I'M
certain rail transportation further, tar ma
cadam is very quickly built with minimum
of equipment; and lastly, such roads are
good roads in every sense Of the word. II
the Government is again faced with build
ing roads in a hurry, tar macadam will be
the type of road that will first suggest itself
to the engineers.
But there should be no need for the
through roads to be built in rush jobs. We
know what is needed and we know how
long it should take to build the necessary
mileage of good roads if the money is APP
propriated for them. We know too what
could very easily happen to us if enemy
hordes swept down on our unprotected
shores. The only consolation that we can
call to mind is that they would be stuck as
deep in the mud as ourselves.
What we need is a system of Government
roads Governmental and Government
maintained that, meeting modern traffic
conditions, will be useful in time OF peace
and necessary in time of war;
