MaStodon Computed

TORONTO, Aug. 11.-Further evil
dence of the common ancestry of
the a1thropoid ape and man was
afforded by the recent discovery in
northern India of the teeth of three
lower jaws of fossilized apes, Prof,
w. X. Gregory, of Columbia uniNer-
sity, today told the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Sci
ence. The find was made by Bar
mum Brown, of the American MI
scum of Natural History.
The distinctive markings of the
lower molars have been traced in
detail into the molar crown patterns
of each of the existing anthropQids,
and also into those of primitive hui
man types" said Prof. Gregory.
These facts strongly support Oar
wins view that man is an Off-shoot
from the anthropoid stem.
Prof. j. w. Russell, of the Uni
versity of Ontario, offered evidence
which, he said, indicated that masto-
dons had lived in Ontario within
relatively recent geological times. He
told of discoveries of mastodon re-
mains which were not preserved in
peat or mari, and, consequently,
could not be as old as has been sup
posed.

HOW MUCH DO YOU
PAY FOR GOOD ROADS2
Study of Relationship Of TranspOrta'
tiOn and Taxes Interesting.

A study of taxes as they pay for, OF
are paid by, transportation, and the
interrelation of roads, tax, transport
and expenditure, has been made by
Mr.. John E. Walker, former tax ad-
wiser, U. S. Treasury.
According to this report, the coun-
ties of the United States administer
so per cent and the States 40 per cent
of all the highway funds spent. OF
all highway expenditures, sos per
cent is spent for new or recOnstruc-
tion and the balance of 1915 per cent
for maintenance, amortization, and
interest. OF the general tax dollar, Sc
per cent-slightly more than one
twentieth-is expended for highways.
A very interesting angle is brought
out in the statistics which show that
the total taxes levied on motor We
hicles are now more than equivalent
to the cost of highway maintenance.
In other words, after the road is built
the users pay for it's upkeep without
cost to the State or county doing the
building.
All transportation together, which
includes all motor vehicles, both pas
senger and freight, all electric rail-
ways, all steam railways, and all
boats of all kinds, pay 81 per cent of
the Nations total tax bill, which
would indicate that a fair proportion
of what is being spent on highways
comes from highway users direct in
stead of from the general tax dollar
by everyone, yet every
one benefits from highways.
It is also interesting to note that OF
the $1,15O,OO00OO of highway in
come" represented in the chart, SS.1
IS derived from bonds, 44.2 from tax
alton, 1O.6 from motor fees, and IL
rom Federal aid.

SAFETY ON HIGHWAYS
AND IN TOWNS SOUGHT
Newspapers To Aid Campaign

That traffic accidents on highways,
as well as on crowded city streets are
happening too often, and with too
serious results, is the conclusion
reached by automobile interests after
careful study of the question.
To aid in clearing up a difficult
situation and finding remedy for the
'Touble, the Traffic Planning and
Safety Committee Of the National Au-
tOmobile Chamber of Commerce is en-
listing the interest and support of
newspapers all over the country, ask
ing that in reporting motor accidents
they endeavor to ascertain the cause
and forward weekly summary to the
headquarters of the committee in New
York.
Newspapers already render a public
service in reporting highway catas-
trophies, but that service will be more
constructive when facts are developed
showing why accidents occur, so that
the public may know where the weak
spots are.
In a general way, motor accidents
are caused by carelessness in driving,
improper traffic regulation, jay walk
ing. insufficient lighting of street or
vehicles, physical distractions to view
too little playground space for chill
dren, and so on, but to what degree
these factors operate has yet to be
determined for most communities.
In this connection, recent state
ment by Thomas H. Macdonald, Di-
rector of the Bureau of Public Roads,
is significant. Mr.. Macdonald said:
zone of the big needs of the road
system today is proper policing.
Country roads must be as well policed
as city streets. Sooner or later the
States will see it. And eventually the
more than 100000 miles of feeder
roads, now under the jurisdiction of
local officials, should be put in charge
of the State highway departments,
whose officials know more about road |
building and road maintenance"
Milford chronicle., 1924-03-07

Y. c. authorities that the delays in
less-than-carload-lot shipments for
short distances, incident to loading
and unloading, would be materially
lessened by using the highway instead
of the freight car, especially as most
of such shipments begin and end their
journey on a motor truck anyway.
Five trucks are being used on the
Electric Division and more are con-
templated for the Hudson Division,
probably six in all. 1t is not believed
that this small number of trucks will
take the place of all train service, but
that they will give a sufficient demon
stration as to whether or not the SER
vice is quicker, less expensive and
therefore more profitable and better
liked by shippers than the local drop
and-pick-up freight train.
Highway officials and manufactur-
ers of motor trucks are watching
these experiments with deep interest,
because, if they are successful, they
presage the use of many trucks over
hundreds of miles of road by rail-
roads as operators, all over the United
States. AS the railroads have been
in the past, at best, Indifferent to the
good-roads program, this service is
thought to be the lever which will
rouse the great common carriers to
an appreciation of the fact that the
hard-surfaced highway is not so
much competitor of, as an assistant
to, the railroad.
