Funeral of Former

Funeral services for Mrs. Nellie

State Representative Joseph H.
Parker of Ia Arlington road, Wo-

he held Wednesday at the home.
She was born in St. Johnsbury,

was a graduate of the Massachu-
sets General Hospital training

from the New Hampshire highway
department with regard TO the
significance OF the traffic CENSUS 10
the department contains this state
ment:
"From the traffic census, the
Commissioner, is also able to de-
termine the roads which are re-
ceiving the heaviest traffic and
need to be treated to hold the road
surface. AS you know, the most of
our New Hampshire roads are
built of gravel and after the traf-
fic reaches five hundred cars a day,
in order to hold the surface, the
same be treated with some suit
able binder"
How New Hampshire traffic
compares with traffic in other
states-The data and figures thus
gathered make it possible to com
pare New Hampshire conditions
with conditions in other states.
The taking of a traffic census by
citizens at four points along the
Roosevelt highway in Vermont
give figures which may compare
with the figures at three points on
the Roosevelt highway in New
Hampshire, namely; Llttleton,
Twin Mountain and Glen station.
But it must be remembered that
the count was taken during a DIFF
ferent month and that the Yer
mont count only for twelve hours
a day-7.00 d. m. to 7 p. M, while
the New Hampshire count was for
- hours a day.
The averages of foreign cars
per day for Glen Station, Twin
Mountain and Littleton were $50,
SIT, and BIT respectively for the
week, July II.
The averages in August for three
days at st, Johnsbury, two days
at Montpelier, three days at Jones'
Vile, and four days at Burlington
were 172, 227, 204, and 203 res
pectively.

vice which they are rendering to

What Maryland did to MAKE
good her claim-Vermonters nat
urally take a great interest in the
road history of Maryland; first,
because the two states have about
the same number of miles in their
total road mileage; second, be-
cause Maryland and Vermont were
among the first states to recognize
officially the supreme importance
of road building md to do some
thing about it; third, because one
of the big men IN the early road
history of Maryland was a native
of Brattleboro, Vermont, Profess
Sor William Bullock Clark.
Vermont. however, made her
first move six years before Mary
land. 1882, the Vermont Legisla-
ture authorized the appointment
Of commission to examine the
highway system of the state and to
make 4 report. Of this notable re-
port, we shall write later, 1t was
not until 1893 that the General
Assembly of MARYLAND authorized
the Maryland Geological and Eco
nQmic survey to conduct an edu-
cationa' campaign for road i'm
provement with an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 which was con-
tinucd until 1904.
Then road events in Maryland
came thick and fast.

What her traffic census tells
New Hampshire-New Hampshire
has just had a traffic census and
provided herself with a lot of fo-
ures that have a lot of meaning.
The traffic census was conducted
from July l to July 7 inclusive and
involved a daily twenty-four-houl'
count at thirty-one different traffic
census stations.
The census was conducted by the
state highway department. The

to hat department but to every
citizen Of the State, especially
when the results are compared
with the results of the previous
census which was taken four years
ago.
The census figures, charts and
maps sent out by the New Hamp-
shire highway department have a
very significant story to tell, an
sWering many queries.
How does general traffic com
pare with former years?-On the
basis of the figures obtained this
year as compared with those of
1918, it is estimated that the pre-
sent daily motor traffic is $50 per
cent greater than it was four year
ago.
This increase is explained in
part by the practical doubling OF
the motor registration in New
Hampshire in four years, and in
part by the increase in the tour
list business.
How large is the tourist bust
nesS?-The count on the Lafayette
road at Hampton shows that dur
ing the seven days 20,205 foliger
automobiles passed census traffic
station number 30,an average OF
1856 foregn cars day.
On Saturday, July /, there were
four times as many foreign as
New Hampshire cars passing that
point.
At Hampton was the heaviest
daily traffic recorded in the state
for the week, and IA per cent OF
the cars were foreign cars.
OF the total amount of traffic il
New Hamr hire, the census shows
that Al per cent of the traffic il
the streets was foreign.
