of public improvement as would give
the best and most permanent results.
The scattered projects" may, also,
have been attempted in an effort to
please everybody, with the result
that nobody has been pleased or sat

sections of good roads, has been

if the money had not been spent. At
least, such scattered projects" get
nowhere, except to meet the just con-
demnation of the people whose money
is thus wasted.
Concentration, although good roads
everywhere, will, eventually, accom-
plish that much-desired result, and
in the meantime give to the people
value for their money through roads,
main highways, SO built that they
will stay built.
When men get together, as in a
company or corporation, for the pur-
pose of building a warehouse or a
factory, they decide on some definite
plan and site and proceed with the
erection of the structure desired, ev-
en- to putting on the roof, without
which, practical use of the building
would be impossible. Road building
to layman, at least. looks like a
similar proposition. Grading for an
improved highway and then going off
without hard-surfacing, to some 9th
er project, looks nike building a
house up to the roof and leaving OF
that important part of the structure
Road building, half done, is only
money-wasting. Scattered projects

done, is money-saying, and will wiz

MONEY-SAVING
IN ROAD BUILDING

Chairman Philips of the state road
department, in his recent statement
relative to purpose and work of that
important branch of the state govern
ment, indicates entire conformity
with the desire expressed in the good
roads meeting at White Springs,
when he says:
I'VE are winding up our scattered
projects as rapidly as possible, and
if the department will follow the ad.
vice of the chairman, we will con.
centrate our forces on the great state
roads, and do that work which is OF
statewide interest"
There's word of practical com
mon sense in that expressed purpose
and will be so regarded by the people
of the entire state
There has been entirely too much
