NEW WORDS COINED IN
SHlP-BY-TRUCK DRIVE
'Motorca de" and "Truckportation'
Added to Auto Lingo-Will
They Reach Dictionary!

How the ship-by-truck movement
is adding new words to the language
is ore OF the evidences of the remark
able hold which the latest method OF
transportation has taken upon the
imagination Of the country.
In certain sections where arrange
ments for tours are being made TO be
held in connection with the ship-by-
truck good roads week. May 1I-22,
the word "motorcade" has been put
forth to convey the idea OF train or
caravan of motor trucks in line, the
new word presumably being taken or
derived from "cavslcade." The word
truck portation" also has come into
being, to shorten the phrase motor
truck transportation"
Whether these new words coined
by enthusiastic advocates of the ship
by-truck movement ever will become
respectable and take their place
among the elite components OF the
dictionary may be questioned, but
having been created. they must now
take their place, It Is said, either in
the language or "slanguage" of the
American people. Certain authorities
are inclined to be doubtful whether
they ever will come into general
usage.

ny ,, OGDEN ARMOUR.

The country IL entering q period OF
road building. Projects which were
planned during the war are being put
into effect The Federal Government
has made large appropriations. TO be
spent conjointly with appropriations
by tho various states. Good roads
have become a wstchword OF post
war progress .
There is occasion for reflection in
the fact that the greatest OF ancient
empires was conspicious for its road
building. The Roman roads were the
railways and telegraph OF an age that
did not know steam and electricity.
They were the pathways OF the Inn
perial couriers and the imperial To-
gions. These roads were tho girdsrs
that held the empire together. 1t 10

In a manner. HISTORY always re-

zeal for constructing good highways.
What to the Romans was o national
necessity has become for us an urgent
need; dnd this. by virtue OF . modern

much advancement to grow out Of the
'motor age" and / am certain that
this advancement will be contigent

well that q nation be knit together
In tho spirit OF mutual understanding
and In a reciprocity OF advantages.
But there are better arguments for
good roads than those which apply
merely TO the passenger car. We
are told, on the authority OF
the Government. that farmers lose
$500, 900, 900 yearly In marketing their
crops, because OF bad roads. This IL
too much to waste. We should con
template this ngure in connection
with the high cost OF living.
There Is no moro serious problem
before us today than the matter OF
reducing tie cost OF getting the
products of the farm TO the table OF
the consumer. One step, at least. In
the solution, is plain-better roads
AZ an instrument OF economy the
motor truck has not yet come into Its
own. Efficient servant as II is In
certain restricted realms. II now
awaits the further development OF
interurban and country highways to
reach the measure OF Its full attain
ment. II has power and speed that
put IL outside the class OF the horse
drawn vehicle, and . nimbleness and
fexibility which give II certain ad-
vantages over the railways. IL II my
expectation TO SEQ IL assume more
and more the function OF the short
haul" as its own peculiar province; In
part relieving the railways OF those
duties which they are least able TO
perform. and in part expanding the
field of our national transportation
system.
1 say. therefore. all speed to the
good roads movement! 1t will cheaper
our methods OF distribution and help
to bring the people OF our country
closer to each other. I commend its
common sense and practical wisdom.
1t may be less spectacular than some
OF our other national issues, but 1t

GIVE CONTRACT FOR PAVING
HIGH ST.;.4 CITY STREETS
TO Be FIXED BY THE CITY
East Jersey Bridge Company
Awarded Contract for Paw
ing High Street. Lowest Bid
ESTIMATE ON JOB $59,263
Market Sheridan, Prospect and
Rector to be ReSurfaCed by
Ordinance of Aldermen.

Paving and street improvements
proved to be the big order of busi-
ness at the regular meeting of the
aldermen last night. The contract for
paving High street with warrenite
from Smith street north to Washing
ton street was awarded to the East
Jersey Bridge Company, while an
ordinance was unanimously passed
on its first reading calling for the
resurfacing and repairing of Market
street, from City Hall Park west 10
Herbert street. of Prospect street
from Market street to New Bruins
wick avenue; of Sheridan street from
Market street to the bridge approach,
and Rector street from Market street
to Lewis street.
Although only two bids were re-
ceived on the High street paving job
the estimates were unusually close,
only $131.16 separating the two. The
bid of the East Jersey Bridge COM
pany was $59,26S.5S, while that of
Liddle & Pfeiffer was S59, ,394.74. The
board went into committee session
following the opening of these bids
and their tabulation by City Engi-
neer Morgan +. Larson at which 1t
was decided to award the contract to
the lowest bidder. Action on tke bids
was hurried through last night In
order that work might be started by
this being the time of the year when
traffic commences to attain its max
imum.
The itemized bid of the East Jer
sey Bridge Company was: Excavat-
ing, $7,S59; concrete base, $2l BIG;
warrenite surfacing SIG 347.2O; curb
ing, $500 and s2,422.50; manholes,
$500; wire mesh SIS. The Liddle &
Pfeiffer bid for the same items: Ex-
cavating, $3.50; concrete base. $21.-
407.10; warrenite surfacing. $26.-
1884; curbing, $3.50 and s2,565;
manholes, 400; wire mesh. SIC.
The ordinance calling for the re-
pairing and resurfacing of four or
the streets in the city, three of which
are constantly used by thousands or
automobiles, was passed without a
dissenting vote. The reason for DO
ing this repair work now, given by the
aldermen In their ordinance, is that
the severe winter had done such
damage to the roads that action would
have to be taken Immediately in re-
pairing the roads or they will get in
such a condition that 1t win be neces-
sary to lay entirely new roads. The
ordinance passed last night calls for
the filling In of holes and leveling
off Of bad spots. although the condi-
ton of some spots is such that an
entirely new top surfacing will be
made necessary. Bids for this work
will be received by the board at the
earliest possible date.
An ordinance calling for a $65. 900
bond issue to defray the expense of
paving High street from Smith street
10 Washington street was passed with
the aye votes of all the aldermen on
it's first reading.
The ordinance financing the Laurie
street paving, which will cost $50, 900
was unanimously passed upon its Sec
ond and third reading.
