a plan Of the state Chamber Of Com
merce to make people think about
the highway problem.
The address OF Paul D. Sergeant
the Maine highway commissioner
was especially interesting In its bear
ing on the situation In our own state
Maine commenced its highway pro-
sress with a Law providing Tor q com
mission 10 make plans for state
highway system TO be presented az
the next legislature A state high
way system was adopted, consisting
OF a primary system OF state control
led trunk lines and a secondary sys-
TEN Of highways partly under state
control. with the less important roads
under town control. Bonds have
been issued 20 the extent OF $4,000
GEO. the interest and principal being
paid from the proceeds OF automobile
licenses. and further bond issues will
be authorized.
This plan has worked SO success
fully in Maine that practically All
hostility 10 state control has disap-
peared and many OF the towns are
now asking the state highway de-
partment 10 take over the mainten-
lance OF all their highways
Mr.. Sargent said the department
had some difficulty az first with town
authorities who were reluctant to
give up the petty patronage formerly
dispensed by them. but the people
now realize that the state can ex-
pend their money much more eco
nomically and 10 better advantage.
Maine is about eight years ahead
of Vermont in highway progress.
We have not as yet even a plan for a
state system. Maine has had expert
enee with gravel roads treated with
asphalt and finds that Il costs $1,000
per mile each year TO maintain them
This may be the best kind OF road
for Vermont. but such a heavy item
OF maintenance is TO be seriously
considered.
Mr.. Sergeant was very positive IN
his statement that no highway pro
eress could be made without a sys-
TEN OF trunk lines.
All three commissioners gave
striking examplse Of the ecopomlc
value Of improved highways Mr.
Everett Of New Hampshire, told Of a
survey which showed that over 81
600 900 was left by tourists in New
Hampshire in one week. Mr. Sar,
geant of Maine said that improved
highways have increased the value
Of property from 100 per cent "a
1000 per cent. Mr. Sisson Of New
York. gave a specific instance Of one
hard surfaced road six miles Ions
leading TO a small dairy community
which effected an actual saving of
over $4,000 a year to dairy farmers
alone This was figured by the
farmers themselves Mr., sisson said
the value Of hard surfaced roads was
incslculable and that they are worth
many times their cost.
II tie advice Of these experienced
men Is worth anything, the next Lee.
islature should not fail TO take all
possible steps to establish a state
controlled system Of trunk lines 70 be
completed as soon as possible.
