The Wisconsin Idea of Good Roads Has Always
Been to "'Serve Traffic"
By J. T. DoNAGHEY, Wisconsin Highway Commission.

The wisconsin idea" from the very beginning has been to Serve
traffic" The patrol maintenance plan, adopted in 1918, improved upon
from year to year, and extended to include additional county highways
each year, has certainly Served traffic better and satisfied the public
to a greater degree than the expenditure of the same amount of money
each year in constructing a few miles of high type surfacng would have
done.
After five years of patrol maintenance W e find that the following con-
dihons prevail: Every town, city II village in the state is o a we'll
maintained and marked highway. Traffic is distributed over a large mile
age, reducing congestion on many highways.
The average speed of traffic has been increased at least ten miles
per hour, resulting in time saving beyond computation.
tits difficult to estimate the total amount spent in Wisconsin by tour
lists. From the most accurate data available W e are confident that it now
exceeds 500, 10000 annually.

Rev. John B Adams
Relieved From Duty
"Raiding Parson" Conducted
Many Spectacular Raids on
Volstead Act Violators.


Rev. John B. Adams, of Ocean City,
known in this section as the "Raiding
Parson" because of some of the spec
tacular raids he conducted on places
suspected of violating the provisions
of the Volstead Act, has been laid off
by State Prohibition Director Adrain
Chamberlain, of Newark. The Direct
or claims that orders from Washing
ton were to cut down the force be-
cause of lack of funds.
Rev. Adams has been very active in
this locality eve since he was put on
the force nearly two years ago, and
has made about $50 raids since Jan. l,
1928. Up until three weeks ago he
had been steadily at work here, but
was called Il the Newark office at
that time and kept, so he says, practi-
cally idle while there was plenty of
work cut out for him here.
When told he was to be laid off
Adams asked the Director if he had
done anything to warrant discharge,
or if there was anything marked up
against him and was told that every
thing "a satisfactory.

pleased with Adams activities that
they recently started a fund to pur-
chase an automobile for him.
