LARGER CAPACITY OF ROADS
Must Be Doubled to Meet AuqmentinQ
Requirements Of transportation
Next Year.

We are confronted with the problem
of increasing the capacity of our
highways. This must be doubled to
meet the augmenting requirements Of
the next year or two. Engineers are
wondering along what line this In
crease shall be provided. One sugges-
ton is TO double the width Of the
roads and increase first cost and main
tenance 100 per cent. The most reason
able one Is to provide a road Of suffi-
cient strength to carry vehicles Of
100 per cent greater capacity for a
given width of road. as the first cost
of these strengthened roads would be
only 10 to 70 per cent greater per
mile than that of present inadequate
highways. says a writer In an ex-
change. In view Of the fact that 70
per cent increase In hauling capacity
gives reduction of IS per cent in
transportation costs, the latter seems
the wisest thing to do.

of arrival, because Of the favorable
market. only about one-third Of the
shipment came in by closing time, and
il was noon the next day before the
remainder was delivered.
The long. winding trail did not end
at the wholesalers. Once unloaded,
the peaches were put on display for
the benefit of various jobbers. some OF
whom purchased a few dozen crates
and some larger amounts. Some of
these men were situated within two or
three squares of the wholesaler and
their purchases were delivered on
hand trucks. In the case of other Job
hers another wagon transfer was nee
esSary.
Next in this process which econo-
mists call distribution came the retail
ers TO look over the lots. in the end
buying small quantities such ms they
could sell in day or two. This, of
course necessitated another handling
and carting over the city's rough pave
ments.
Last. but not least, came the con
sumers, each buying only small frac-
ton of crate and paying big share
of the expense all the handling had
entailed.
Carriage Is Costly.
This instance Is no eXaggeration.
A very large part of the foodstuffs
brought to American cities goes over
some such devious trail. One Wash
ingten D. O. wholesale merchant has
stated that he spends $4,000 year
for carriage which could he saved If
the city had wholesale terminal
where cars could be unloaded directly
into premises occupied by the whole
salers. Following an investigation in
New York city It was estimated by
local organization that the saving In
handling costs which would result If
adequate terminal facilities were es-
tablIshed would be s2.0o0,000 annual
~ by the borough Of Richmond;
SS.OOO,OOO by Queens: s16,oOoOOO by
the Bronx: sol 100000 by Brooklyn,
and an even vaster sum by Manhat-
tan.
Marketing experts admit that there
are many battling aspects TO the high
ost-ofliving problem, but contend
that the remedy for the phase Of our
costly distribution system just de-
scribed is plain. Cities which will pro-
vide modern wholesale terminals,
where shipments can be delivered
from the railroad cars direct to whole
salers few feet away will make pos
sible the saving of immense sums Of
money now charged up to the con
sumer.
