BAD ROADS FIRST


Much interest throughout the state
attaches to the method for the selec-
ton Of particular roads in the counties
Tor Improvement under the new $780,
100000 bond issue program. Every
county wants to know just how the
roads are to be selected and for the
benefit of those people a quotation
from the address Of Chief Highway
Engineer B. H. Piepmeier, delivered
by wireless and broadcasted over the
Fair Grounds at Paris, Mo-, last week
is Of interest. In Mr.. Piepmeier's adj
dress he said:
"Our plans at this time are to pick
sections of road in each county that
require heavy grading and large
bridges. We are anxious to complete
the worst portions Of the highways
first SO that the traffic may get max
imum service from the Improvement,
and that the heavy fills may become
thoroughly settled before the hard
surface is applied"
1t is the intention of the Highway
Commission to make the roads Just as
good as possible with the first money
|obtainable under the bond issue. BY
selecting the worst roads which are
on the state highway system the en-
gineers will be able to work out the
problem of building good roads faster
than by taking them hap-hazard.
Road Maintenance Is the Big Thing
The maintenance of the state Nigh
ways after they are constructed is
the biggest thing that people of Mis-
souri, can aid, in. At the election on
Nov. z, the voters of the state will
have an opportunity to express them
selves on this question of mainte-
nance. Amendment No. 3 provides
that a certain part of the automobile
license fees may be set aside by the
legislature for the maintenance fund.
Unless the roads are properly kept
up 1t Will be a waste of money to
build them and the State Highway
Commission feels very strongly me
Importance of this amendment. At
its meeting in Jefferson City on Sept.
~, the following resolution was pre-
sented to the Commission and after
thorough discussion was unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas, there will be presented
to voters Of the state of Missouri at
the election November 7, an amend
ment to the constitution providing
for setting aside in the state treasury
a portion of the money acquired
from automobile license fees which
fund shall be used for the maintenance
of the state highways; and
Whereas, the state has already con-
structed 1886 miles of the designated
state highway system that must be
maintained and in some instances re.
surfaced, and
