ROADS MOVEMENT
BRINGING RESULTS
Three Hundred Thousand Miles CT
Surfaced Thoroughfares Con-
structed Since 1880.
Rx G. S. LEE

The growth of the good roads move-
ment' In the United States since its
organized inception in 1880, and with
the great stimulus it received in the
periods Immediately following the adj
vent of the automobile and the APP
pearance of the motor truck has been
so rapid. So extensive and so effec-
tive that highway construction today
constitutes one Of the greatest, if noe
the greatest, problems in American
economic life.
There are now 1902 organized agen-
cies actively and directly pleading the
cause of good roads. The agitation, to
date. has brought about the construc-
tom og 10000 miles of surfaced
MISUNDERSTANDING the highway mile
age of the United States to 2,478, $50
and that of Canada to 255,000.
The automotive industry, fourth
largest in the country, with 368 man
ufacturing plants capitalized at ST.
204, 378,642 and employing $4,000
workmen; having an annual output Of
2,2o5,197 passenger cars and trucks
valued at $3,594,814,620, and supple
mented as it is, by 1900 firms pro-
ducing auto parts valued at 100000
600 a year, together with 1000 firms
manufacturing annually 35,000,000
tires valued at $1,000. 100000, is abso-
lutely dependent upon highway inn
provement for its stability and upon
increased road mileage for greater ex-
pansion. In addition, $4,000 distribu-
| tors of automobiles are involved as
| well as 1880 dealers in automobile
accessories and $4,000 dealers in tires.
| So great, too, has the road building
/ industry become, inconsequence of the
/ demand for improved roads, that
there are now $500 contracting firms
engaged in actual construction work.
| The roads are now traversed by
9.211 ,295 licensed cars and trucks, of
which 100000 are used on the farms.
| These cars consumed $500, 900 gall
lions of gasoline last year.
Prior to 1880, when Amos G. Batch
elder. late chairman of the executive
board, American Automobile associa-
ton at Washington, with H. S. Earle,
of Detroit, and other pioneer advo-
Gates, organized the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen and began a systematic
campaign, good roads enthusiast
was looked upon with undisguised Gu
riosity or amusement as something
| of "a nut"-a loquacfous, but, no
doubt, well meaning person who might
| be seen but not heard Usually he was
promptly set down upon" by the lu-
| gubrious taxpayer.
| Opposition gradually melted away,
| however, as the campaign became
| more fully organized and extended.
| Since 1880 more than $4,000, 000, 900
has been spent for highway improve
ment in the United States and Can
ada. More than $1,000, 100000 is now
available, and, $1,000, 900, 900 additional
will be necessary 10 carry out projects
under contemplation. And yet, with
all this, only a beginning has been
made. Billions more must be expend-
/ ed before the country has anything
like highway system adequate to the
traffic needs.
