Roads of the Future
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

Washington, ID. c., May There are
many indications that the next few years
will be in the United States one Of the
greatest roadbuilding epochs ever seen
anywhere. Most of the presidential can
didates seem TO have spoken in favor of a
tine national system of roads, that being
q thing that IL is perfectly safe to en-
dorse, and one that can be made to appeal
10 any audience. If IL is some organize
ton of militants and imperialists that the
candidate is addressing, then roads are
necessary for military reasons; the farm
crs are TO be the great henefciaries If they
are listening, while the ultimate consumer
is assured that the products of the country
will flow 10 his very door in an unceasing
stream when there are good truck roads.
The manufactures knows that the growth
OF the great auto industry and all its in
Vulnerable accessory Industries is depend
cnt upon good roads.
Here is something that all can agree
about, and certainly it rs true that the
road-building in this country nearly all
remains TO be done We have good
macadam roads in many parts of the
United States. but they are not adequate
in two ways In the first place, they do
not join TO form the great trunk lines from
one part of the country TO another which
are the essential framework Of good
national roads system, and in the second
place, they are not built we'll enough TO
stand the strain of the great and growing
heavy truck traffic This fact is fully
realized by 4. II. Macdonald, chief Of the
United States Bureau of Public Roads, who
states that our whole national road svs-
tenn Must be rebuilt with the heavy
truck especially in mind
LOCATE TRUNK sYsrEMs.
Mr. Macdonald says that the first
thing TO be done is 10 make a survey of
the roads of the country, determining lust
what traffic goes over each class of road.
and fixing standards of construction for
each class. 1t is generally agreed that a
trunk system of paved roads is the only
thing which, in the long run, will serve
the purpose. Such roads, made of fitted
stones, will be expensive to build in the
first place, but not nearly so expensive 10
keep up once they are built. Every
highly organized civilization has found
such a system of paved roads necessity,
from Rome on down. The western Euro
pean nations, being small. found it a
comparatively easy task to build ade-
quate road systems, but IN an enormous
country like the United States, il is
another matter.
There was little interest in roads in this
country for long time 1t was assumed
that the railroads were all-sufhcient. The
automobile brought the first impetus to
road building, and now the heavy truck
has brought a still greater one. For il
has been discovered that the railroad
docs not displace the highway, even for
heavy frcighting, just as it has been dis
covered that the railroad cannot economi-
cally be allowed to displace the canal and
river traffic. Real economy and efficiency
are gained by co-ordinating all of these
means of transport, letting each function
In its proper sphere.

to road-building operations this spring
