GOVERNOR TO BACK
ROAD BETTERMENT
BeidIeman Tells County Com
missioners SprouI Is Behind
Improvements
SITUATION NOW DEPLORED

Improvement Of highways was de-
clarcd to be the public matter near
est Governor Sprouts heart" today by
Lieutenant Governor Beidleman, adj
dressing the state board of county com
missioners in convention at the Belle
vuc Stratford Hotel.
The problem of roads is becoming
more and more serious, Mr.. Beidlemau
asserted, in view of the rapidly grow
ing number of motor vehicles in this
state. He said there is one automobile
for every eighteen persons in Pennsyl-
vania.
In outlining the plans of Governor
SprCul for n system of highways ira
versng the entire state and linking all
the populated communities, the lieu
tenant governor described the three
kinds of roads receiving attention.
"Thc first is the primary type he
said, crossing the entire state and
which are to be paid for entirely from
state funds.
The next type is the secondary. which
are to connect the primary roads and
to run through districts where the popu-
lation is small. This type is to be paid
for by the state and the counties.
"The territory is the remaining type.
| These are roads to be built by the town
| ships alone but whose officials will have
the advice and guidance Of state engi-
ucers."
1000 Miles To BE Improved
Mr.. Bcidleman said the plans call for
1000 miles of improved highways. OF
| that road mileage, 400 miles already
| have been constructed and 80 miles
have been contracted for this year.
The high cost of living is hitting road
building also. the lieutenant governor
| explained. Roads that under ordinary
| conditions would cost $40 900 to build,
now would cost $105 900. But the lat
| ter figure. re continued was au extreme
/ example. He said the state govern =
mcnt did not intend to buy it. He
| called on the county commissioners to
educate the public to the fac that money
| derived from increased taxes and spent
on the roads would not be money
| wasted.
Canals in Bad Shape
! Mr.. Beidleman deplorGd the present
condition of canals in the state. They
| could have given valuable service, he
said, when the railroads were overtaxed
with wartime burdens and could have
