that his home had been entered.
A second call was received, show

only e. few doors away. This was
the home OF c. C. Carroll. 1901 Sixth

also been entered and ransacked, the
police were told.
Then the police received a call to
go to the home of Sarah Carrick,

Warren, sos Aspen street, and Stan

others who reported that their homes

WASHINGTON IS
HIGHWAY
CENTER
Federal Aid Is Developing
Countrywide System
Leading to Capital.

Through the completion of hun
dreds Of miles of Federal-aid high
ways, under supervision Of the De-
partment of Agriculture during the
past year, Washington has become
the center of the country. Spread
ing over each State, a system of
roadways has been designated so
linking together that the prlnci-
pally Travelled routes lead to the
National Capital.
The system has been laid out so
that no town with a population of
5000 inhabitants or more is more
than ten miles from an improved
highway. s. 4
10000 Miles Included.
According to the Department of
Commerce, the improvement cam.
paign will include a little less than
10000 miles Of highway scattered
through the various states. Toward
the cost Of the improvements made,
Federal Government will contribute
SO per cent. payment being made
when the highways ahave been
passed upon by the department.
Information has reached the de-
partment that many. Of the States
are not taking full advantage Of
the provision under which thu au-
thorities can include per cent of
the highways in the Improvement
program under Federal aid.
The explanation Is said to he
that the selection Of highways to
be improved with Federal aid Is
being held up by, state authorities
awaiting possible developments
which might necessitate highway
construction on the States part
whore the government could not be
called upon to meet so per cent of
costs. Ne.
Highways Must Meet System.
Department officials are not in
clined to criticize the states policy
in this respect, taking the position
that the intent of the government
in extending highway aid is to
benefit the states as much as pos
sible. One policy in connection with
the government aid will he followed
out, however; highways to be in
cluded in future development with
Federal aid must link up with the
system at present being developed.
Throughout the eastern states,
including Ohio, Indiana, PennsyI-
vania and Maryland, practically
each city and town with a popula-
ton of 5000 or more is on an i'm
proved highway which leads to
Washington.
In connection with the aid ex-
tended by the government in high
way construction, Secretary Wallace
states that since 1917 the revenue
derived from taxation Of motor
vehicles has been twice the amount
expended by the government for
road construction. From 1917 up to
June 80, 1928, the government col
lected from this source $5S9, 012,021.
Expenditures for highway improve
ments by the government during
the same period amounted to $264.-
1925.
Various TranscOntinental Routes.
Washington motorist on trans
continental trips now are able to
select the various states through
which they wish to travel with the
assurance OF finding Improved high
ways. This information can be
obtained from the Department OF
Agriculture. Maps showing the
improved highways included in the
system will be prepared by the
department.
