IMPORTANCE OF AMPLE RIGHT
OF WAY FOR WIDENING

Don't build the road narrow. But
however it is built, have right OF
way ample enough to provide for wild
ening in the future. On these two
hang all the law and the profits Of
modern road building!
An expensive fault of the narrow
road is the concentration of traffic.
Wheels moving constantly over the
same places produce parallel lines
of excessive wear. To prevent rapid
disintegration of a single track road
heavier foundation and surface is
needed than is required for wider
road
Substantial shoulders at the sides
on which the passing traffic may turn
out are also necessary, els Otherwise
the wheels of vehicles turning out to
pass will quickly wear ruts at the
edges. In these water. collects, to pen
citrate beneath the foundation, with
disastrous results. A narrow road
with soft earth shoulders is dangerous
to motor traffic in slippery weather.
To build the heavier foundation and
surface needed to bear the concentra
ton of traffic on a narrow road, and
the substantial shoulders at the sides
requires as much money as to build
a wider road On a wide road, traffic
is scattered, and wear is distributed
With paved surface sufficiently
wide for two lines of rapidly moving
vehicles to pass in safety, the neces-
sity for artificial shoulders is elimi-
mated. To build a narrow road thin
and without shoulders, means loss
of the entire investment in a compar-
atively short time.
A narrow right of way requires
drainage bitches close to the travel.
With no shoulder between paved SUI
face and ditch the chances of serious
accident are largely increased. Al.
drainage bitches tend to become deeI
er, so that the danger to traffic be
comes constantly greater.
Before any program for beautifica,
ton of highways. is undertaken, some
assurance that Sthe rights of way are
wide enough to accommodate future
traffic should be had.
Motor vehicle traffic will increase
as the mileage of hard roads increas
es. A general extension in the width
of wearing surfaces will call for vic
er rights of way. To obtain wider
rights of way now means an ultimate
saving of a large sum Of money and
will prevent many future difficulties

MOST SEVERE STORM FOR YEARS

An unusual storm for this section
was experienced Monday night and
part of Tuesday consisting of sleet
storm that did considerable damage
to trees and shrubbery, all wire lines.
Telephone lines suffered the most and
it will be several weeks before they
are all in working order. Some resi-
dences were without light Tuesday
night as the repair crew were unable
to work at the recommending during
the storm. Old residents do not re
member as severe a storm of that
character here before and it was an
unpleasant reminder of the kind that
frequently does much damage farther
south.

AUTOMOBILE CLUBS AND ADvER-
Users COOPERATE

That the advertising sign at the
side of the road may prove detri-
ment to the thing advertised instead
of promoting sales, is being more and
more recognized by large users Of
billboard space. It is being brought
home to advertisers that road users
hotly resent the blatant sign cover
ing up a beautiful vista or profaning
a lovely landscape.
Cooperation in sign removal has
had unexpected impetus from the
Standard Oil Co., on the Pacific Coast
which has decided to eliminate GER
tain Objectionable signs from the high
ways.
Convinced that highway advertis-
ing signs detrict from the natural
beauty of the great routes of travel
Of the Pacific Coast, says an official
of Standard Oil, this company has
decided that it will erect no more
such signs and that it will immediate
ly remove all of it's signs of this ma
ture now standing. Hereafter the com
pany will confine the use of signs to
commercial locations: This company
was among the first of the oil con-
Germs to engage in this form of adver
Using and is now glad to be the first
to discontinue it.
Nearly 1900 large, round permanent
signs in California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevade, and Arizona are consign
ed to the ak by general order.
Ute Pass, near Colorado Springs,
has for long been defaced with a
large number of signs. Recently the
Colorado Automobile Club, which is
deeply interested in the work of
identifying highways, removed more
than one thousand signs from the
pass. At the same time the club or
dered ten thousand trees to be plant
ed in nurseries and later used to EN-
belIish the roads leading to Colorado
Springs.
Among the many large Dlll-Doards
users in the East who have declared
their intention to aid in the beautify
ing of highways by the EXAMINATIONS
of signs, are such welEknown persons
as Kelly Springfield Tire Co., Pills
bury Flour Mills Co., Washburn- Cros-
by Co., Champion Spark Plug Co.,
B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co., Sun Oil
Co., Hood Rubber Co., Ajax Rubber
Co., Ward Baking Co., Dodge Broth
ers, Gulf Refining Co., Texas Co., and
the Fleischmann Co.
