Tire Manufacturers Urge Better Roads
Movement Turnout Country

1t is estimated that the United
States has 100000 motor driven
vehicles in operation-leading the
world in. this respect-motorists will
be surprised to learn that but IL per
cent of roads in this country are sur
faced. Out of an estimated total of
2,47S,552 miles of public rural roads,
only about 299,135 are surfaced or
improved.
Indiana shows the greatest per-
centage of improved highways, AIS
per cent of it's roads being surfaced,
based upon the last available figures
of 1918.
That there is great need for good
roads can be deduced from the in
creased tendency for long distance
hauling by motor truck and partic-
ularly by the fact that 10000 en-
ployes of the United States postof-
flee department travel 100000
miles daily in delivering mail on ru-
raj routes.
With an estimated 920 production
of 100000 automobiles, the need
for better highways is evident That
this fact is recognized by states and
municipalities is shown by estimated
appropriations of $6O0,000,000 to be
spent on hard surfaced roads during
the year.
In 1918 approximately 11,944
miles of roads were improved in this
coputry and the enormous sum of

34,974,O00 was spent on mainte-
nance. More than $2O,0OO,OOO have
been spent ON the 1920 miles of Lin
coin highway between the Hudson
river and San Francisco in the last
six years.
To stimulate the interest of both
public and states in the value of bet
ter roads, the Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der company has created a new de-
partment to be devoted entirely to
this work. 1t is in charge of G. M.
Wood, who is exceptionally well quail
flied for the work. This department
will gather data on the cost of good
roads, methods of taxation and 9TH
er valuable information necessary be-
fore legislatures can frame and pass
good roads legislation.
So great is the interest of f. A.
Soldering, president of the company,
and former head of the Lincoln High
way association, the the new good
roads bureau will have the aid of all
Goodyear statesmen and much educa-
tional literature to help create pub
lie sentiment toward improvement
of all roads in the United States.

| Ohio, recently suffered a scarcity
of meat and when motor trucks
equipped with solid tires and chains
were sent to the Westville station
to unload many carloads of hogs
they were stalled by heavy snow and
icy roads No progress could be
made. At this juncture E. T. Tay-
Tor, a proprietor of the Mad River

that he unloaded the hogs for Ur-

New Workers ample amusement this
winter, although fiat builders cannot get
loans for housing the masses of the me-
