officio and two citizens OF the state
who should have the power to name
practical road builder to act as high
way commissioner. Among otner
things, Governor Hartness said in this
message that personalities have no
place in the highway question at TINS
time. His message was received IN
dead Silence. The message was:
Judged from the sum Of money ex'
nended and the direct and indirect in
fluences on our state life, there Is no
department that SURPRISES in impor-
lance that of our highways. From rel
atively small beginnings we have
reached the point where we are expend.
ing for highways more than we spend
for any other single purpose, not even
excepting the education of our chill
dren. Over Is per cent of our total
state expenditures in 1920 went into
the highways. :,
"In 1902 the state spent for roads
less than $4,000. In 1920 we spent
over million dollars, with indications
that this total may be increased TINS
year.

ev for the unsolicited highways in our
rural communities, whose people are
entitled to proper consideration in this
regard, and to increase the amount 10
be given by the state to those towns
which do permanent highway work.
while there has been this great ex
pansion in the amount of money spent
for road building, unparalleled by any
other department, the organization OF
the highway department has remained
practically the same until, in my Judg-
ment, the time has come when the
work of supervision has so increased as
to be beyond the capacity OF any one
man to handle under our present sys-
TEN.
eve are presented, then, with the
task of choosing between the methods
Of supervision and the system. The
system, which recognizes the town as q
unit, is TO my mind peculiarly well
adapted to our Vermont conditions and
traditions. This should remain un'
changed in its vital aspects.
wv come, then, 10 tne question vi
supervision. II is my firm opinion that
it is an impossibility for one and the
same man to act as the executive OF a
department of such magnitude and at
the same time circulate among the two
hundred and fortyseven towns and
cities of the state supervising as many
individual highway jobs. The formula
ton of general policies under the law
the supervision of the disbursing Of
sums totallng over a million dollars
and the necessity Of actual inspection
in the field are more than one man can
perform in way adequate TO conserve
the tax money of our citizens and &c
secure for them the best roads that
their money will purchase.
Il would like TO direct your atten-
ton to a possible way Of improving the
supervision Of this department, which
will soon be presented for your eonsid-
Grafton in the form of a bill There
should be erected a board, known as
the highway board, which should take
over the executive functions Of the de.
partment. In my judgment this board
should be composed of the governor,
chairman ex -officio, and of two addi-
tional citizens of the state Of broad
general experience and knowledge of
Vermont's requirements and conditions.

ROAD REPAIRED
ON SHORE ROUTE
Aim to Have Good Highway to
Atlantic City by Eastertime
--PuSh Route Nc. 4.
By Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Jan. 2S:-The State
Highway Commission is arranging
to have a smooth route of travel for
those who are planning to auto to
, Atlantic City for the coming Easter
j vacation, Thomas j. Wasser. state
highway engineer, announced today.
In order to put Route 4, which is
the one used by New York and north
Jersey motorists going to the shore
city, in condition to meet this ex-
pected traffic the contractors on the
job are working on it through the
winter at the request of the state
authorities.
Every effort is being made to
complete the Mullica river meadows
section of Route No. 4. state high
way system. so that it. may be in
proper shape to accommodate the
heavy auto traffic to Atlantic City
at Easter" declared Mr.. Wasser to-
day. "A gravel surface is being
placed and finish by Ross IL WHEEL
an, the contracting firm which has
the work and who are continuing
the job throughout the winter as an
accommodation to the State High
way Commission, despite the diff
cultfeS Sucn seasonal con-
~struction and the extra expense
which the work is entailing.
THE stretch being improved COW
ers about two and a half miles and
is the poorest part of the road on
this route, all the rest being in good
travelling condition.
I'm fact. Route No. 4 Is in excep-
tionally good shape for this time of
the year. For the information of
the public 1t should be stated that
persons engaged in travelling from
points north or east of Perth Amboy
enroute to Atlantic City should leave
Route No. 4 at West Keyport and
take the road leading through Mat
avian, Marlboro, Freehold and Adel-
phia to Lakewood, where an inter-
section with Route No. 4 may be
met. This will shorten the trip by
twenty miles"

PARIS. May 25-There seemed little
question when the Chamber of Depu

Premier BRAND would be given a vote
OF confidence before adjournment.
The premier's address before the
Chamber yesterday in which he declar
ed the present situation did not neces.
sarily call for armed occupation of
the Ruhr region Of Germany, was an
evident disappointment to many OF his
followers. but it did not appear that
it would ALLEVIATE many votes
Newspapers of this city reflected the
disappointment felt in some quarters.
it having been expected that NJ. BRAND
would take strong attitude. .
Extend Confidence.
While neither chamber nor the gen.
eral public are altogether convicted by
the premier's arguments. it is asserted
they continue to extend him confid-
ence. Today's journals generally re
served comment, but the Figaro. ex-
pressed the opinion which without
doubt was held by a large section OF
the general public. 49,.
THE only question which matters
and which really interests the country
said this newspaper, lis when and
how we are to be paid. The idea has
been put into the head of the public
that the Ruhr region is a precious
pledge, the seizing of which would al.
most amount to a partial payment
That is the sole reason that many
Frenchmen wish to see it occupied.
What France demands is certainty OF
payment, without which she will roll
into the abyss"
