FOLLY OF BUILDING
NARROW HIGHWAYS
SHOWN BY EXPERT
Slight Original Saving
More Than Offset
Later On.

When America first woke to the
necessity of highway Improvement
few years back, the tremendous
mileage of public roads requiring
attention naturally seemed to die
tate the desirabllity of building the
narrowest pavements practical, on
the theory of providing the great
est possible hard surfaced mileage
in the shortest possible time and at
the least expense.
This theory has been proven 70
be fundamentally wrong. To prop
erly serve its purpose today and
in the future, any highway must be
of adequate width. The reasons for
this are we'll outlined by state
Highway Commissioner H. E. Sis
son, of New York, in advising the
people of Pennsylvania against the
construction OF roads less than Is
feet in width.
Commissioner Sisson's remarks
are of general application. In part
he said: Gome weeks ago / went
into Pennsylvania on a mission Of
discovery. Shortly after l returned
1 received clippings from several
Pennsylvania newspapers showing
that ndu DCSh oNdIlSu AOA
the construction of narrow roads.
on the presumption that they would
be cheaper to construct and there
fore, could be put down for a great
err mileage. In other words, it was
enormously suggested that Penn
sylvania could get twice as many
miles of 9-foot roads as Of 1S-foot
roads.
New York State Is not building
9-foot roads on new State highway
construction. They are inadequate
to cary modern traffic. In some in
stances we have built single strip
of concrete eight or nine feet wide
on one side of the road, but with
the intention of building strip OF
the same width on the opposite side
the following season. But in this
case the entire roadway must be
graded and culverts and the drain
age system for wide road In
stalled. Therefore. the major por-
ton of the cost of wide road Is
expended at the time of the con-
struction of a narrow road. The
construction of half road surface
is an expensive proposition, as
Pennsylvania would soon find out.
The New York State highway de-
partment does not expect to design
roads less than 16 feet in width in
the future, except on thorouEhfares
of the least importance-and the
trouble In this case is that heavy
traffic follows improved highways,
SO that within a short time minor
hard -surfaced road becomes an i'm
portant artery.
Build your roads IS feet and
build the most important ones first.
Counties in New York are building
roads to connect with the main
highways, and they are doing a
real job of it. The value of minor
road is only in the value that 1t
gets out Of the main road"

Here's Some Data
Which You Motor
Men Should Read

Automobile interests in the United
States sold efghty-five automobiles
in Alaska last year.
Only twenty-five States in the
Union have laws regulating the
sale of secondhand automobiles.
Kansas City has several drive

mobiles are rented to people for
touring purposes.
According to a new Pennsylvania
State law, motorists are required
to stop and give first-aid in case
of accidents.
OF the 41,3S2 motor cars exported
from the United States in 1921,
Mexico received more than any
other country, $3.50. or 1913 per

According to authorities 65 per
