MACHINERY AIDS MAINTENANCE

The best road in the long run is the
hard road. But there are many local.
ties where the use of the hard road
does not permit its cost to be an econ
omy for the community. Hence the
sand-clay, gravel, shell, and other ty-
pes of roads, not hard surface which
are built
Such roads require constant mainte
nance if they are to remain smooth.
Formerly such work was done by
teams. But modern ingenuity has pro
vided road tools which can be applied
to trucks, with a great economy of
time, labor, and money.
AS an example, consider Kent Coun,
ty, Mich, where, according to the an
nual report of the County Road Com
missioners, there are 252 miles of gra-
vel roads, varying in width from 10 to
16 feet, the total width of the grade
varying from 20 to 80 feet.
Nearly all the scraping and grading
work is taken care of by scrapers at
tached to trucks, which with the scrap
er attachment, travel about 10 or IL
miles per hour. Each truck does the
work of six or seven teams
Nine trucks equipped with scrapers
maintain an average of nearly 30

National Motorists Assn.
Cover State With Service
WISCONSIN STATE MOTORISTS
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTED
BY VICTOR r. PoTTRlc

The Wisconsin State Motorists As
ISOLATION was represented at the An
nual Convention Of the National Mo-
florists Association recently held at
Washington by Victor r. Pottric, Sec
rotary Of our State Motorists Associa-
tion. Wisconsin was given singular at
tention in the national affairs of mo-
tor club work with the election Of
Mr. Pottric to the Board OF SeyersleasF
for three year term.
The State Motorists Association has
grown in the few short years OF its
existence to be an important factor in
matters effecting the pleasure and
use of the motor car in Wisconsin. It
has dealt primarily during the past
two years with building up a strong
unit of service throughout the state.
This service includes free towing, and
mechanical first-aid, delivery of gaso-
line, starting of car, changing of tires
and other service. This service is
made easily available through the es-
tablishment of 347 official service sta
tons covering over 100000 square
miles of our state. It is, therefore,
practically impossible to have car
trouble and be over ten miles from a
Service Station
Over one-half million free maps
were distributed last season and the
new corrected road maps are now
available showing the $500 mile addi-
ton to the main system. Changes in
numbering are also indicated. Detail
ed information service will be avail
able to members this season through
1900 branch information bureaus estab
lished in the state where map will be
free and latest advice on road condi-
tons can be obtained.
While the tangible services to motor
lists are valuable, it is believed that
the intangible benefits Of collective in
fluence on matters of legislation, good
roads and the proper maintenance,
traffic regulation and safety work will
result in savings of many dollars and
will ultimately be recognized as of
greater benefit than the direct service
The need of such collective influence
is realized of one will analize the pre-
sent day trend toward burdening all
taxes onto the car owner, and the
constant effort to bring the motor car
into disrepute. Regardless of the cir
cumstances of accidents in which mo-
tor cars are involved it is called IAN
automobile accident, Railroads are
flooding the country with propaganda
and passing laws to compel motorists
to stop at grade crossings SO that the
burden of responsibility for accidents
| injuries and deaths will rest on the
car owners and not the railroads. No

railroad crossings Merely propa-
