The Stanley Republican. through its
editor. w. III. Bridgman, makes a plea
for the maintenance of highways.
Now everybody who knows anything
about our highway system. knows that
this Wisconsin system of patroling
and maintenance is the heart of the
whole thing" he declares. Abandon
this patrol and maintenance work for
even one season and the dirt and
gravel roads of Chippewa county
would be hopeless wreck. And
abandon them for two seasons and the
millions of dollars invested in Wis
consin highways would be nearly to-.
tai loss"

traveller that his mustache was white

The things that people laugh at

OUR MOUNTING ROAD DEBTS

highway purposes in 1899 were about
S5OO0 600, or less than two per cent. of
all State debts. In 1919. the last year
for which complete figures are available.
the States highway debts had grown to
Sl43, 100000, or more than Fl per cent
of their total Indebtedness
These figures tell Only part of thl
story, because the States have appropri
ated larg., sums from current revenue.
for road improvements, while in man,
cases counties and other local divisions
have exceeded the States in the amounts
spent
In spite Of their huge expenditures.
most of the States are still without ade-
quate highway systems. The principal
obstacle in the way of good roads is the
rising cost of maintenance and, there
fore, the increasing burden of taxation
that falls on the general public To re-
duce this cost and to distribute the tax
burden more equitaby have become the

BOATS To RACE
IN BAY HERE
First of Series of Regattas to
be Held by R. Y. c.
Tomorrow

The first of a series of regattss
to be held this summer under the
auspices of the newly formed Rari-
tan Bay Yachting Association will
take place at the Raritan Yacht
Club tomorrow afternoon.
Events to be run off will include
all classes except that of the larger
sailing craft. Sailing canoe races,
padding canoe races, speed boats
and events for open power boats
i, and cruisers will comprise the pro-
gram. 1t was at first intended to
have a sailboat race also, but later
developments made this feature i'm
possible. The event will not be run
off under the rules of the American
Powerboat Association, but under
regulations compiled by the local
Yachting organization.
Under the plan of the Raritan Bay
Association each member club viii
hold a regatta during the summer.
Industrial prizes will be awarded
each winner of an event and the club
to which the winning captain be-
longs will be credited with a certain
number of points. At the end of the
season a club trophy will be award
ed to the yacht club having the larg-
est number of points.
Twenty-seven entries have so far
been received for tomorrow's events.
Many of these, of course, are boats
from out of town member clubs, IN
Guiding the Railway club, Sewareu
Boat Club, Prince Bay Club and
Keyport. Speedboats from the Aero
marine Airway plant at Keyport,
! and New Brunswick, will enter the
event under that classification.
All entries will be handicapped
presumably according to the usual
methods employed in boat races.
The first race starts promptly at
1 o'clock. 1t is understood that the
course will be over the route laid
out for the races held late last sum
mer, between the yacht club dock
and the monument down the bay
for motor events. and a three cor
nered course for the sailing events
The course down the bay to Sandy
Hook and return has been abandon
ed because of the fact that specta-
tors soon lose sight of the contest
ing craft and interest lags. Under
the new way, all contestants are con-
stantly in sight of the bluff along
Water street and the progress of
the boats may be noted at any time.
Interest in boat racing is rapidly
increasing in yachting circles here
and the yacht club expects a large
crowd of enthusiasts, both in the
club proper and along the water
front as spectators. Last years con-
tests We're extremely successful and
the organization effected earlier this
season insures even better results
this yea
