T do not wish to butt in on local questions" he said yesterday. "as I am only a casual visitor in Phoenix. I note from the papers. however that one of your current problems is one which is occupying the attention of many progressive American communi ties. including that of Hawaii, which is my home-and that is the problem of how to secure good roads'-mean- ing thereby. permanent good roads.
 From what I have seen in the papers I am impressed with the simi larfty of the road problem in Arizona and Hawaii, viz. a sparse population, long distances between settlements rapid industrial development, requir- ing roads strong enough for heavy traffic; a readiness to pay for high class roads, but an intense desire to secure permanent roads while about it, even at high cost
 Some 25 or 30 years ago Hawaii had practically nothing but dirt roads. An era of supposedly permanent road construction was then entered upon. and in the course of the next 20 wears between 12 and 15 hundred miles of water bound macadamized. or semi maca da mixed roads were constructed.
 While these roads required con- tinuous upkeep, they answered the purpose well until the era of automo-

biles some ten years ago, when it was soon demonstrated, to our dismay that the suction of the rapidly moving auto wheels tore up the surface or the macadam roads
 After some study of the subject a remedy seemed to have been found through the medium of heavy road oils asphalt macadam. and 'bitulithic' ma cadam. These gave a hard finish to the rock base and prevented the top filling from being sucked out with the consequent destruction of the road Many miles of this road were con structed. Some of these are from five to ten years old and are still in good condition
 "So satisfactory were the results that about six years ago a macadam road some miles in length. which had been wrecked through the action of the automobiles, was reconstructed with asphalt macadam at cost of approximately s30,000 a mile, which included some grading and relocation.
 By asphalt macadam' I mean heavily rolled base of loose crushed rock on which is poured and rolled coating of asphalt. The result was apparently most satisfactory, and it appeared to the community that the perfect road had been achieved. But, within a year. this new road was

Benson & Son $136.7 790, and Littlejohn X Sin gleton $91,934.64. As the amount of money apportioned to this road is but 5000, the contract could not be let. However, should Messrs. Littlejc>gl stS Singleton be able to revise their fig ures so that they would come within the appropriation, It is quite certain that the contract will be awarded to them, as their bid was much lower
