Completion of the $4,000 miles Of
transcontinental highways by 1890
American Association of state High
way Officials. In annual session here.
by Secretary Jardine today.
The speaker. discussing Federal aid
to State highway departments. asked
the States to complete unimproved
gaps between highway systems and
to keep their roads In repair.
Progress in routes across the coun-
try is gratifying. but tho lack Of trans
State roads in the agricultural section
Of the Mississippi Valley is not in
keeping with Eastern and Western de
velopment. The first duty of the Ag-
ricultural Department is to insure
proper maintena nee of roads con-
structed with Federal funds. he said
Failure TO provide for road repair
was termed the sheere-st of economic
folly" Counties cannot he expected
to hear part of the cost of upkeep
Of main lines of traffic.
''If the number of motor vehicles
has increased from two and ne-hslf
to twenty millions in 10 years" he
continued. there is no reason to
believe that the increase will he
abruptly halted now. although we
may expect some falling off in the
rates"
While N years ago there were only
five States in which there was as
much AS a single improved translate
highway. today every State has a
definitely designated highway system
to the Improvement Of which the
State governments are applying their
resources, he declared. and the past
10 years have been marked by greater
improvement OF the roads and a larger
Improvement in highway transporta-
ton than any other in the history OF
the country.
