More Highways Needed in Kan
sas, Says Engineer Watson.
Transportation Is Fundamental
Basis of All Industry.
ALMOST BILLION INVESTED
Estimate includes Value of X.
r. and Highway Property.
Rolling Stock of Roads Valued
at s25 Millions.

Highways constitute the final link
in the transportation system of the
country necessary before full indus
trial development is possible, accord
ing to NJ. w. Watson, state highway
engineer. This, he believes, is potent
influence behind the present nation
wide road building movement.
Watson estimates three-quarters OF
a billion dollars is invested in trans
portation in Kansas, of which the
highways can be credited with about
so per cent. This estimate includes
the total value of, all railroad prop
erty and highway rolling stock,
together with the allied industries
connected with the motor vehicle,
such as garages, repair shops, Qnotor
car dealers and accessories.
Transportation Is Vital.
Transportation is recognized by all
authorities as the fundamental basis
upon which the industries of nation
are established. whether these indus
tries are commercial or agricultural
said Watson. prior to the invention
and development of railroads, the
worlds commercial activities were en-
tirely dependent upon waterways, and
today the international commerce OF
the world is dependent upon marine
transportation.
But even these have their limita-
lions, ana the maj INK III the lrans-
portation system is the highway with
its diversified methods of locomotion-
1t is the highway that leads 10 the
very doorstep of the people and upon
the highway all other methods OF
transportation must depend for their
supply of passengers or freight"
Roads Valued at 225 Millions.
Figures gathered by the state high
way commission from the state tax
mission and other sources Indicate
the rolling stock" on Kansas high
ways is valued at approximately 225
million dollars, computed as follows:
wagons ...............,.. T,2005a1
Carriages and buggies, 1,oJs,2tl
Automobiles and trucks. ........ zoo. Ocs,u o9
Motor cycles .........-...,...,. 3sa. =.

Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $224 DO, go
Estimating that not more than
$50, 000. 900 of the total railroad valuR-
ton of sss4.451,594 is rolling stock.
Watson believes the total value of roll
ing stock on the highways in this
state is at least three times as great as
that of the railways.

Recommend Closing
from 10 to IL a. m.

Paragould business institutions
will be closed Saturday morning
from 10 till IL O'Clock. during the
occasion of the parade. The parade
has been scheduled to take place at
10 o'clock. The decision to request
the business institutions of the city
to close during the two hours men
toned was reached at a meeting OF
business men in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms this afternoon at
1880 O'Clock.
1t had been planned to request
the business concerns of the city to
close their doors from IL till 5
O'Clock in the afternoon--or till
o'clock, but some of the merchants
expressed themselves as being of the
opinion that to close their doors all
afternoon on Saturday would result
in disappointment to farmers and
others who make it a practice to
come to Paragould from distance
on Saturday afternoons to do their
shopping. They stated that no no
tice of the closing had been publish
ed and for that reason those visitors,
naturally, would be disappointed
when they arrived here and found
all the shops closed.

A committee of business men,
designated at a session of merchants
and other commercial heads OF the
city this afternoon, visited points
along the public road to Hopkins
bridge Immediately following the
meeting with the view to taking
steps to improve the public road to
that section of Big Island The pro-
posal followed a discussion OF the
bad condition Of the road in which
it was stated that many ugly mud
holes caused the highway to be al
most impossible at many places
along that stretch of country into
the city. In view of the extensive
use to which the road is now being
placed by farmers and their families
of that section coming into the city,
it was decided to enter upon imme~
diate plans to bring about an i'm
provement of the highway.
The committee visiting the sec
tion was composed Of Robert Mer
iwether Clyde Mack and J. Harry
Mcpherson 1t was suggested to
the committee members that they
propose to the farmers residing
within the strip of country through
which the road runs to cooperate
in the undertaking to place the road
in fpassable condition. At the meet
ing it was voiced that the merchants
and other commercial heads of the
city contribute sufficient funds to
pay for gravel and meet the other
expenses of the undertaking and ask
the farmers to donate the use of

teams and their services to perform
ing portion of the work. 1t was
considered that this plan would
come nearer to meeting the wishes
of the citizens, afford a compara-
lively good road for the use of the
people of that section, at minimum
cost of effort and without an out
lay of cash, the money being pro-
vided by the business element of the
city.
1t was pointed out that between
East Junction street and the bridge
there were three or four bad mud
holes; one or two in particular that
made it very difficult for wagons
and other vehicles to get to the city.
1t was suggested that a quantity
of gravel properly placed, preceded
by some intelligent work done upon
the road would afford good high
way at least through the present
winter. 1t is said there are only
few places that actually demand at
tention.
If the farmers residing within the
scope of the territory penetrated by
the road will contribute their serv-
ices and the use of teams, the busi-
ness men of Paragould, it is claim
ed, will put up the money and the
road will be put in order. The sug-
gestion appears to be good, prac-
ticable one. At least. the plan sug-
gests a temporary highway for the
busy season when the road to Big
Island is being put to heavy use.
