SENTIMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Governors of Twenty-Five Western
States Petition for Increased An
nual Appropriation.

If the passage of the Townsend Dill
depended on the support from Western
states the measure calling for a ma
tional system of highways would be-
come law by an overwhelming major
ity, says representative of a large
rubber concern.
At Salt Lake City recently governors
Of % states signed a petition, which Will
be forwarded to congress, to increase
immensely the annual appropriation
for road-building, to be expended dur
ing the next five years.
While the Townsend bill asks for
100000, their petition calls for a
billion dollars. The Western COVER
nors not only indorse the bill as men,
but as governors of their respective
states. This action reflects plainly
what the West thinks of the necessity
of highways and furnishes an influ-
ence which cannot be overlooked. The
West has gone on record as being will
ing to stand its share of the cost
Of a system of nationally administered
roads, and the share will be big
one.

Washington. - That municipalities
are tackling their local food problems
In a variety of Ways. some of them
unusual, Is evidenced by reports re-
ceived by the city marketing division
of the bureau Of markets, United
States department of agriculture.
From establishing curb markets. re-

How One City Sells Food.
Houston, Tex, which has munich

taken over three stalls in the build

tables in competition with its tenants.
In order to be fair to other retailers

rent, and also pays wages higher than
those paid in other stalls. Reports

RURAL ROADS NOT IMPROVED
Not More Than One-Fourth of I Per
Cent of Nations Roads Suitable
for Motor Traffic.

Official figures show that there are
in the United States approximately q
100000 miles of rural roads of which
II per cent are classed as improved.
Road engineers, however, estimate that
no more than one-fourth of l per cent
of the nations roads are suitable for
motortruck traffic. More than 6,000,-
900 motor vehicles are now using the
highways. and of this number about
100000 are trucks varying from less
than ton capacity to vehicles capa
BILE of hauling five to seventeen loads.
The most conspicuous example of
anything approaching the efficiency of
a national thoroughfare in the United
States is the Lincoln highway. Or
ganized as a private enterprise six
years ago, to stimulate good-road
building, the officers of the association
have raised several million dollars by
private subscription and have stimu-
lated the improvement of many sec
tons of the highway by the states and
counties through which 1t passes.
