EACH CAR SALE IS-A
GOOD ROADS BOOST
Road Improvement Over the
Country Just Begun, Says
MaibOhm Man

According to figures recently com
piled in Washington said T. w. Cush-
ing, general sales manager of the Mai
bohm Motors company, Sandusky o.,
"only one-eighth of the public roads in
the United States have been improved.
The total length of these roads is 2,47S,-
$50 miles, of which 299 1856 miles are i'm
proved with some form of surfacing. A
large portion or this mileage is, how
ever, composed of sand, clay, gravel or
water-bound macadam, much of which
is proving inadequate for present-day
traffic.
I'm 1914 the several state highway de-
partments directed the expenditure of
$16,343,000 for maintenance. In 1917 this
amount had increased to 600 and
in 1918 it reached $34, 974. 9OS. Based on
complete reports from "A states the cash
expenditures on the rural roads and
bridges in the past year amounted to
S2S6, O9S, 1893.
This increase is due in part to the
heavier traffic and rising prices of labor
and materials, and in part to the grow
ing tendency to centralize control of all
important highway work under compe-
tent state authorities.
80 far the good roads movement is but
in it's infancy All the impetus it has
received has been given to it by the de-
mands of the rapidly growing army OF
motor car and motor truck owners. What
