recognize the need of an effective
state aid" system. Up TO the pres
ent time, Delaware has been appro-
prlating as state aid" for road build
Ing only $4,000. $4,000 for each
county. This year the State Highway
Department Is making available for
state aid" road work $3.50. 0.000-S250,-
900 for each county.
Another interesting point that
comes out in the Delaware pamphlet
is the Increase in State funds for road
building through automobile receipts
In Delaware State road funds come
from two sources--income tax rev.
enue over s250,O00 (Which is very
smanD and automobile receipts, in
cludinB fees for registration of vehi-
cles and fees for the licenses OF driv-
ers. II is "A notable fact that the
automobile receipts for ulne months
OF the year 1919 were almost eight
times what they were for the entire
year 1914. and more than double what
they were in 1917. The volume of
automobile traffic works both ways!
IL makes modern permanent roads
more than ever necessary, but IL a so
provides n not incons ide rable source
OF revenue with which to build and to
maintain them.

OF especial interest to engineers

that section OF the Delaware High
way pamphlet which deals with the
organization OF the department and
the procedure and methods of work
The time is past when a State can
perpotrate with safety the political
macadam" road OF old times. Modern
roads are expensive, and the citizens
of the state are going to notice II
IL they do not last. Among the poll
cies noted in the Deleware pamphlet
for securing good roads are: the en-
Gaging OF reliable contractors. no
matter whether they live inside the
State or out; State responsibility for
testing the materials used in the

and good inspection.
The chief engineer of the Delaway
highway system Is Charles NJ. Upham.
Before he became head of the State
highway system he constructed the
du Pont Boulevard in southern Della

Lynch, director of sales of the KIsscl
Motor Car Company.
1T has become so interviewer in
our activities, in our social, industrial,
business, governmental and profess
sional activitiesc, that people have
come to look upon II as n matter Of
course and a necessity they cannot
get along without.
Hotels have started to put up
their own garages and parking places
the same is true of department
stores and apartment houses. Even
manufacturers and industries have
their parking places for the automo-
biles OF their employees.
Farmers are. erecting garages just

No matter where the motorist drives
he has up-to-date service and a source
OF supplies just as efficient and up
o-date as IL he was at home.
"The motor truck has become thu
business mans freight line, making
him less dependent on the railroads
for receiving and shipping goods and
supplies. This Is particularly true Of
the short line hauls. as the motor
truck has been proven the most e"0-
nomical labor and time saver in haul
ing distances of 100 to 500 miles.
"The ma nmoth good roads program
laid out by each State insures tina;
within a couple OF years America will
be the home OF good roads, enabling

owner OF car is not legally respon-

while his chauffeur is using the car

the owner OF the car as comIftent

fact was that he was not an expert
enced driver and had no license.
The argument was that the owner
could have discovered the facts with
out difficulty had he made inquiry,
and that the law should hold him re-
sponsible for an accident due TO his
employment OF unqualified help.
This Argu .nent did not appeal TO
the court. however, which held that

What IL means for "A State to take
hold of it's road problem from State
point OF view is set forth In the Story
of Delaware Highways, just publish
ed by the Delaware State Program
The Delaware State Program Is a CO.
operative agency representing five Of
ficial State departments, one OF which
is the highway department.
About five years ago there was not
one mile OF really permanent road, in
the modern meaning OF the term. in
the State Of Delaware. Today there Is

mary north to south State roads, sup
pIemented by an extensive system Of

west and connecting with the State
system True, the roads are not COM
pleted, and not all of them are yet un-
der contract. The State primary
system, as outlined, covers go miles,
OF which seventy-three miles are now
complete.
Convert to Concrete.
Like most of the other States of the
country i'm their modern rond-build-
ing programs, Delaware la a convert
to the concrete road. There are many
arguments for the concrete road. but
the outstanding one Is the small cost
Of maintenance. The experience OF
Wayne county, Michigan a pioneer
in trying out the concrete road, seems
to prove this. to say nothing of the
later experience OF other States and
communities. In the delaware High
way pamphlet II is set forth that the
cost of maintaining one mile of con-
n a ~
erage OF 800 per milc--a vivid con-
trast to the sums, ranging up to
81 800 or beyond. per mile. which are
still being expended in many commu-
mites for road maintenance.
Road building as a State enterprise
is still not very fully developed in
this country. The Delaware State
highway department was not estab-
lished until 1917. In Delaware, as in
other States. the work that normally
would have been done during the past
few years was greatly held up by the
wartime cost of labor and materials.
and by the rulings OF the War Indus
tries Board. In view of these things.

HUGE FUNDS GIVEN
FOR NEW HIGHWAYS
Construction, However, Pre-
sents Problem Through
Limitations.

Funds available for the constrdc-
tion OF hard surface roads In tha
United States in 1920 are more than
three times greater than In any prev
ious year. The United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture estimates the
amount at s033. 100000, and meny
leading authorities believe the appro.
priations will reach a final total OF
81 900, ,OoO, 900. The previous max
mum yearly expenditure has neye
exceeded 500. 100000.
This recognition of the need for
adequate highways by the nationeL
State and county legislatures Is re
Karded by leaders In the motor truck
Industry as indicative of the accept

VIII Use Trucks.
I'm this connection, II is certain
that the motor truck will be called
IN to act as its own benefactor by
hauling the material from the source
of supply to the construction area,
and by taking over short haul ship
ments from the railroads. thereby re-
leasing cars for transporting the ma
terial over longer distances.
Highway transportation promot-
ers and good roads enthusiasts have
won their point as far as public
recognition is concerned. and it only
remains for construction facilities to
be improved before this country will
have a system of highways that will
offer unlimited development for mo-
tor truck transportation"

Michigan holds that the above rule
does not apply-or at least that the
differences from the facts supply the
necessary additional proof-where II
is shown that the accident occurred
during the usual business hours, that
the driver was in the owners employ
at the time of the accident, and that
the car was used by the owner for
his general business purposes at
about the time the accident occurred.
In fixing the damages TO which a
motorist is entitled where his car
has been put out of commission
through the negligence OF another.
no allowance is made for the use Of
another car owned by him, or for the
cost Of storage of the damaged car

for the wages paid the chauffeur

any allowance made for the loss Of
