DAY DEMANDS
ON HIGHWAYS ARE BIG

The taxpayers search in the past
year for an answer to the question of
why roads fail has led to the discov-
cry that whatever may have been done
in the past to insure proper grade,
more must be done. There is no deny
ing the fact that short haul traffic is
changing over from the railway to
the highway. Recently the Ocean
Shore Railroad Ga California line) fill
ed an application with the Interstate
Commerce Commission for authority
to quit business. The plea made was
that the motor truck has seriously
and adversely affected our freight re-
venues and the general increase of the
use of the public highway has affected
also our passenger revenues" In try
ing to stem the rising tide of highway
traffic, short line railway stockholders
in this instance has assessed them
selves seven times and then gave up
the ghost"
Whatever may be given as the i'm
mediate cause for short line railway
troubles, the underlying fact is that
the community owned highway is be-
coming public utility, with the direct
result that the road is being loaded
with new tonnage to a degree unex-
pected by the public.
1t now appears under the impact
of increasing tonnage, that providing
rigid surface on the road is not
sufficient, that however well that sur
face may be built the tendency of the
road is toward failure for too rapid
to permit its saving capacity to earn
its way out before reconstruction be-
comes necessary, unless-and this
brings us to the peak development of
192o-due care is given to the con-
struction of the sub-grade.
In addition to the work under way
by the Federal Highway Council along
this line, attention is being given to the
same subject by the engineering divi-
sion of the National Research Coun-
Gil. Out of these two organized move
ments to determine right principals
in sub-grade construction there is pro-
mise for a long step forward in the
science of highway engineering in the
future.-James w. Brooks in January
