WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-The selec-
ton OF the roads To compose the sys-
tenn of Federal aid high ways which
will reach into practically every coun-
ty of the United States is progressing
rapidly, according to the Bureau Of
Public Roads Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. State and fed
eral engineers have held numerous CON
ferences during the past summer in all
sections Of the country.
The system il being outlined in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the
Federal Highway act Of last November,
which contemplates system Of high
ways 10 be built with federal-aid such
as no other nation has ever possessed
and which. once built. will be continu-
usly maintained In serviceable condi-
tion. Eighteen feet will be the minimum
width OF roadway unless conditions
Justify a lesser width and such cases
must be given special approval. The
system will consist Of no more han z
pecent Of the total road mileage in any
one state. not more than 81 of which

primary and secondary roads will be
approximately ls7 600 miles.
Work has progressed rapidly on the
system during the past year and 10000
miles of road have been completed in
conjunction with federal aid These
have been projects Of such Importance
that there il no doubt Of their being
included in the system as finally out
lined
From the present outlook il IN
thought that this program Of road con
struction will cover a period of from
Is 10 20 years. Many states will com
pete their mileage in much shorter
time "a they have included in the sys-
tenn a considerable mileage of improv.
ed roads. They will then enlarge the
Federal-aid system BY including addi-
tional mileage.
When the system is complete the to.
tai improved road mileage Of the coun-
try will be far greater than the 1877 900
miles included IN the system. How much
greater it is hard to say. but in all of
the states the system has been ou-
lined, keeping IN mind that state roads

vi,;orcrs .ampaign ara nst the mosqui-
to in order to rid the city of the pests
and eliminate the possibility Of dis
ease Of any kind spreading through the
agency OF mosquitoes. Five inspectors
are employed by the city to care for
barrels, cistcrns and other containers
Of standing water, while other employees
Of the city are at work draining and
removing the breeding places of the

quito menace through some substitute
for the 2500 barrels of standing water

he had found no mosquitoes carrying
the yellow fever germ in this city. but
that the mosquito should be extermi-
mated IN order 10 remove the menace.
AT present there are nearly $500 wa
ter barrels in the city limits and about
400 cisterns. The five inspectors are
instructed to turn over all barrels hav-
ing wigglers in them, and the number

SECY. MELLON
GIVES REPORT
ON TREASURY
Says Avenues Of Escape from
Federal Taxes Must be
Closed; Would Reduce
Surtax
fBv The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--Reduction
of the maximum income surtax from
present so percent to not more than %
percent and the closing up 50 far M
possible Of existing avenues Of escape
from federal taxes are urged by Secre-
tary Mellon in his annual report. trans
mitted today 10 congress. No general
revision Of the revenue law il proposed
nor are additional taxes proposed. Mr..
Mellon expressing the hope Of meeting
any indicated government deficit
through collection Of back taxes and in
come from other sources.
The Treasury Secretary informs Con-
gress that TO attempt alone to stop the
gaps through which there II an avoid
ance OF tax payments to the govern
ment will not be enough because the
existing rates Of surtax put sucy hea-
w pressure on the larger taxpayers ~
TO reduce their taxable incomes that
new ones would surely be found. He
added that the high rates "sound pro-
ductive.' but the fact remains that they
ructive." but the fact remains that they
are becoming increasingly ineffective
and are yielding less and less revenue
each year.
Then bluntly he tells Congress the
time has come TO face the facts
squarely" and to correct the artificial
conditions which now prevail and
which, he asserts, are not wholesome
from the point Of view OF business or
industrial business development. and.
at the same time. are impairing the
revenues Of the government.
The more important OF the methods
used by the taxpayers TO reduce the
amount Of income subject 10 taxation
are listed by Mr.. Mellon as follows:
Deduction Of losses on sales Of capi-
tai assets. with the failure to realize
on capital gains.
Exchanges Of properties and securi-
ties 20 a. 10 avoid taxable gains.
Investments in tax-exempt securities.
Division Of property, creation Of
trusts and the like.
"Not all cf these things can be CON
trolled by law or regulation" he CON
tinued. "and most of them lead to un-
natural and frequently harmful eco
nomic results. To reach the evil the
thing most necessary is the reduction
of the surtax rates themselves, in or
der TO reduce the pressure for avoid
ancr and maintain the revenues deriv-
ed from the surtax.
