NUMBER ALL ENGLISH ROADS
Properly Organized and Uniform sys-
tenn Of Sign Posting to Be Used
In Great Britain.

The national road scheme will be
ready by the autumn.
The scheme consists Of the classifi-
cation of all main and secondary
roads in Great Britain, together with
d properly organized and uniform sys-
tenn Of. .sign posting. Roads will bear
distinctive numbers, so that the trav-
eler need only ascertain the official
number Of the road, say. from Nor
wich to Birmingham. to be able to
travel from one town to the other
without map.
The experiments conducted under in
structions of the ministry of transport
to determine the most suitable mate
rial for uniform road dressing, have
been successful, and a standard sur
face, has been practically selected. Foe
the present this surface will be ap-
piled only to the arterial. and not to
the secondary, roads.
BY January 1 the new national road
scheme will be In readiness to be put
into immediate operation.--Daily Mail

LARGER CAPACITY. OF ROADS
Must Be Doubled to Meet Augmentins
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-
tion 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 4
given width of road, as the first cost
of these strengthened roads would be
only 10 to 20 per cent greater per
mile than that of present Inadequate
highways, says a writer in an ex-
change. In view Of the fact that SO
per cent increase In hauling capacity
gives reduction Of Is per cent In
transportation costs, the latter seems
the wisest thing to do.

the state could not produce any in
