BIG ROAD BUHD- x. 81,
ING CAMPAIGN

Funds avilable for the consrHe-
ton ef hara surface roads in the
United States in 1929 are more than
three times greater than in any pre-
vious year. The United States Be
partment of Agriculture estimates the
amount at 5000, ,080, and many
leading authorities believe the appro-
priations will reach final total -of
/ 81 ,O00. .0OO.O 900. The previous maxi
mum yearly expenditure has never
exceeded 5000, 100000.
{ This recognition of the need for
adequate highways by the national
State and county legislatures is re-
fgarded by leaders IN the motor truck
industry as indicative of the accept
ance Of highway transportation on a
par with the railroads.
1T does not mean, however, that
the good roads problem Has been
solved" said r. e. Fulton, vice prssi-
dent of the International Motor Co.
manufacturers Of Mack trucks, in
!recent interview. 1.-The problem mere
+! ly assumes a different aspect.
Although the American people are
demanding comprehensive. system Gt
highways and are willing to pay the,
price, the expenditure of this huge ap-
preparation is dependent upon three
things. first, the supply OF highway
fconstruction materials; second, tbs
ability of the railroads to furnish
enough cars to transport this mater

and contractors, with the requires

the machine set for two or three min-
utes or whatever time it was desired
