KEEPING HIGHWAYS GOOD.

The presepe year promises to be the
greatest in the history of the move
mentor the improvement and main
tenance of public highways of the Uni
ted States. A joint committee OF
congress is engaged in an inVestiga-
ton of the feasibility of federal aid
In the construction, Improvement and
maintenance of public highways, and
a number of the state legislatures are
considering good roads legislation.
Too much stress cannot be laid up
on the importance of maintenance IN
connectionwith the woIk of improV-
ing the roads. The people In nearly
AL the states are filled with the enthu
s!asm for road improvement and are
s7ending enormous sums Of money IN
the construction of good roads, and
vet almost without exception, they
are making little provision to care for
.re roads after they are built. This
IS true, not only in the various coun-
ties. but under many of the state
highway departments.
To maintain the roads in good con-
dition, year after year, requires
considerable annual outlay, but this
outlay is indefinitely less than the
loss which must fall upon people even
trally if they allow their roads to go
to utter ruin. The thing for all ad-
vocates of good roads to do is to
urge continuous, systematic mainte-
nance and the setting aside every
year of an amount per mile estimat-
ed by the engineer in charge to be
sufficient for the proper maintenance
of the road, a course which must
make for economy and efficiency.
