GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Sum of $500, 900, 900 Lost Last Year by
Farmers Unable to Get to Market
over Highways,

Good roads are the greatest single
factors in securing and maintaining
community prosperity" Last year
the sum of S3OOOOO,OOO was lost by
farmers in being unable to market
their products over bad roads. Roads
that are impossible during part of
the year cost farmers in every COM
munity thousands of dollars a week.
When one stops to think that in
every township laid out in sections
there are - miles of roads. it is easy
to imagine the mileage of roads in
this country, says a writer in an Ex-
change. OF these hundreds Of thOus-
ands of miles of roads and streets,
comparatively few miles are paved,
and a noted authority on road build
ing prOphesies that not more than s
per cent of all the roads in this cOun-
try will be paved by 1926.
It would be excellent If we could
have all hard roads-brick, concrete
or macadam roads, which are good
all-year roads. We should have more
OF them. But it is impracticable to
pave every country road. However,
it is just as important to have good
laterals leading to the main roads as
it is to have hard surfaced main roads
So we must do the best we can and
properly maintain our dirt roads and
streets.

GOOD
ROADS
TRAFFIC WEAR ON BRIDGES
Ne" Instrument Measures With Scien-
tific Precision the Effect of
Every Shock.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
a new instrument deEised by the
bureau of public roads of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
measures with scientific precision the
effect of every shock and blow deliv-
cred by moving vehicles in crossing a
bridge Attached 10 any part of the
bridge structure. this instrument
makes a Photographic record OF the
effect Of the moving load. The amount
Of stretching or shortening of the part
as a result of the shocks is represent
ed by a fine black line on the photo
graph.
No blow or shock can be delivered
so quickly that the instrument will not
record its effect. II has never before
been possible TO measure the effect of
such blows. Engineers have long been
able TO calculate the effect of standing
loads very exactly; but because of
their inability To measure the effect of
quickly delivered blows or impacts,
they have never been able to proper
ton the various parts of bridge with
absolute assurance. 1t has been nee
essary to make a liberal allowance for
this unknown quantity. In some cases
the allowance has not been sufficient
and the bridges have collapsed under
moving loads.
Many bridges still in service are
probably too weak to withstand safely
the sharp blows of swiftly moving
vehicles, though they will safely carry
the same vehicles at rest or moving
at slow speed. The familiar warning
posted at the portals of a bridge:
Speed limit on this bridge eight miles
per hour" means that the design of
the bridge TO which it is attached is
not strong enough to allow for impact.
In the light of the recent experiments
with mOtOrtruckS in which il was
shown that q swiftly moving motor

truck may strike a blow equivalent TO
seven times its actual weight, il is
rather surprising, the department road
experts say, that failures have been so
few.
II is believed this new measuring in
strument will soon do away with un-
certainty. The knowledge gained by
its use will enable the engineer TO de-
sign bridges which are sure TO hold
up under fast-moving vehicles, and to
build such bridges without undue
waste of material and money.

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Stock Prices Irregular at Fin
ish-Merger Steels in
Early Demand.

| The stock market was shaped chiefly
yesterday by the movements of individ-
uai stocks which were affected by in
fuences 'aacrliar to themselves. The in
dependent steel issues Republic, Lacka-
wanna and Bethlehem, quite naturally
felt for time after the start of busi-
ness the flush of speculative buying, re-
sultant from the Attorney-General's ap-
proval of the proposed mergers. So much
OF smoke screen had been raised about
the propriety of the consultations,
through the Lockwood investigation in
New York. that, probably, some doubt
existed in respect to the Washington at
titude toward them. But the Attorney
General went exhaustively into conditions
surrounding present steel manufacture
Ing and laid sufficient emphasis on the
economy and efficiency which non-com-
petitive companies would acquire through
union of properties to clear the way
for action.
These shares went forward point or

and AZ points respectively.
Several other motor and accessory
issues were weak. Not all Of the sales
in them by any means could be ascribed
to realizing sales, nor was apprehension
of unfavorable strike developments over
the week end primary influence behind
the decline. In other years trading in
speculative circles established the height
Of motor stock activities in the spring
with readjustments in the market from
June on.
Spectators were not inclined to en-
large their commitments very much in
any stocks. Lack of buying power In
the second hour was obviously a cause
of final irregularity. in which net de-
clines outnumbered gains. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad again duplicated its
| maximum price of this year and rails in
general were steady. The Street knocked
off business for the week in hopes that
by Monday favorable developments
would appear in the rail strike.
Borrowers at the local banks reduced
their loans on large scale during the
week. as evidenced by a decline of no
less than $s4.00O.0O0 in the loans of
Clearing House members That move
ment was influential in the fall of more
than s95.O00.oo0 in demand deposits,
but the excess of the deposit decline over
the demand loan reduction, amounting to

funds to New York. The statement of
actual Clearing House bank condition in

above last weeks minimum lending rate
for several days.

Denver q Rio Grande western.

The granting of the petition of the
New York Trust Co., as trustee for the
adjustment mortgage bonds of the Den
yer e. Rio Grande Railway. asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the
property of the new Denver & Rio
Grande Western Railroad came as some
thing Of surprise to the financial COM
munity. Until Friday it was not known
that the Bankers Trust Company, trus-
tee for the refunding bonds which are
also in default of interest would join
in the petition. The proceeding is a set
back to the reorganization planned by
the Western Pacific interests. The next
move will involve the settlement of the
question of which assets of the new
company come under the mortgage which
was made the basis for the receivership
petition and which are free assets Vir-
tually all the company's railroad will
come under the former head. The legal
procedure will be complicated by the
large number of parties to the case. in
cluding the two trustees, the new COM
pany, the new receiver. the receiver for
the old Denver & Rio Grande, who has
not yet been discharged, and the West
ern Pacific interests.
