An idea of what these roads will
mean to the country can be gained by
studying the effect of roads built in
recent years and picturing what would
happen should they be torn up and
left in their former condition.
Should these roads go back to their
former state and the motor vehicles
which have come with them disappear
there would be many changes. Many
suburbanites would have to move into
the city and there would be a decrease
in value of suburban real estate.
Cities would have trouble In getting
