Autos Doubled Since 1918.
During the last II years moto1
vehicle registration has increased
over LOO per cent, and since 1918
the number Of motor vehicles in this
state has doubled. Under these cir

should be constructed or developed
without adequate provision being
made for the necessary maintenance
Such maintenance is required moi

Highways once properly constructed
and then neglected as to maintenance
constitute a financial loss.
