The entire state Highway sys-

about 1000 miles OF roads will be
taken over for maintenance by tho
state Highway Commission. January
!. 1923, IL was announced Yesterday
IL Will be the policy of the depart

OF improved roads heretofore main

attention will he those roads which
were constructed and surfaces. but
which have greatly dctcrated in
many places. due 20 the lack of main
tcnancc: these Will be restored. gen
orally shaped up. and o'l-treated
where necessary. thereby preserving
the Investment already made, the
announcement says.
The remaining. being principally
earth roads. will be divided into
two classes. first. roads that will
carry considerable volume OF traffic.
and secondly, those of minor import
ance and carrying a small volume OF
traffic" the announcement OF the
com mission states. Those in the
first class Will I've shaped UP and
made as smooth and as scrviceable
as possible for earth roads. enabling

Ing long rainy spells and the carly
spring months. The second class will
be maintained In about the same
condition as they have been In the
past. or little better.
In taking over the entire system
for maintenance on January !. il is
hoped that the travelling public will
realize that not much work can bc
done towards maintaining many OF
those highways economically until
spring. due principally to weather
conditions.
"A maintenance plan and organ!-
zation have been worked out where
ny operations can be speedily
started. Just as soon as weather con-
ditions Will permit. \ most careful
