Constructive, Not Destructive
and Detrimental.


Roads are seen the most used the
most, and needed the most of any
public utility. 1t Is natural that they
should be talked about because they
are continually In evidence. Every
now and then we hear criticism of
the road building program. Now crit
icism Is one OF the most necessary
requisites Of success providing 1t is In

that has no basis In fact is, to say the
least, destructive and detrimental
