ience, knows and has known the i'm
portance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows. Is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put In to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
Of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however, do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability Is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is Just what we are coming to
In road building. For years 1t has been
customary for county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham,
pered by lack of funds, and made
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states in which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day,
hauling gravel or stone In a more or
less haphAzard fashion for the con-
struction of roads; upon their efforts
and those of limited force Of hired
workers depends the maintenance Of
] the commqnity's highways.

CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Manufacturing Public No Longer Re.
CARDS Good Roads as speedways
for Fortunate Neighbors.

The public's conception of "gooo
roads" has undergone q radical change
In the last two years.
Prior to the entry Of the United
States into the world war, the nom
motoring American public, more often
than not, thought good roads were ad-
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars,
writes q. A. Williams, Jr., president
of large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were un-
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
struction and upkeep Of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits so far as they could see.
The war merely fastened what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years 1t furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor In the economic life Of the coun-
try.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as "speedways'
for the motoring "aristocracy." 1t has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors,
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation Of trucks. It's
vision has been broadened; 1t sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from a combination of these factors
benefits which have a direct bearing
upon the economic conditions Of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table of the consumer |;
it sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con-
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
truck and its ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
lies conception Of how roads should
be built also has undergone change.
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average mans
idea Of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres
ent; the engineer, as result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper-
