4 POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR WIDER ROADS

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Macdonald has been quoted as be- Ing of tho opinion that the state cannot build sufficient new roads or wider highways to take care Of the constantly increasing motor traffic and suggests as q substitute the speeding up of traffic upon tho existing highways.
 Some Of the other motor vehicle experts are of q contrary opinion, and we think they have the better Of the argument,
 The state can construct more trunk line highways and also con struct wider roads than those now existing if 1t is not detcrrcd through q spirit of false economy. Autoists are paying enough 10 the state 10 justify efficient use of the money In this respect. Enough trunk line highways can be constructed to take care of all the traffic that Is likely 10 develop In the next decade If the state has q desire to do it's duty to- ward the army of motorists. Of course, If it Is the intention to ex- ercise pinchc1 economy 1t will be merely another way of saying that the state is inclined 10 be delIn- quont in it's duty,
 There is something to be said against "moochers" along the public highways-vehlcles going much slower than the average and caus- ing motorists 10 take the risk of passing them and meeting other cars while so doing. And there is something 10 be said in favor of a good average speed for all cars. But there Is a limit to all things. and there certainly is a limit 10 speeding on the public roads with in the bounds of reasonable safety.
 The records of the motor vehicle department have disclosed that most accidents occur upon the straight portions Of highways -- in other words, along the portions where the utmst speed is possible and is taken. Along sections of roads where curves and hills enforce carefulness the records show there are fewer accidents.
 This Is one point against Mac Donald's high-speod scheme.
 Another point is that the clutter ing up Of the existing highways during week ends during the sum- mor time is not due so much 10 the effort of autoists 10 go from one town to another, but is due 10 the prevailing practice of cruising around merely in an effort 10 enjoy the eXhilaration of riding, Faster travelling would not diminish the total of such autoists--they merely would be travelling over more high ways and the congestion for the most part would be just as severe as at present, with the added dan gers that come with increased speed.
 That is the second phase Of the contention.
 Another argument in opposition to the high-speed suggestion is that it would be merely a temporary method of combating the situation. The only permanent way is 10 build m ore and wider trunk highways ana not exercise so much unaccountablc delay in getting those done that arc already authorized.
 Il there is more speed necessary in connection with automobile drivers. the paramount necessity is for more speed in inc motor vehicle department in the construction of i highways it already is authorized i to start and more speed by the state in providing the money A 1 good beginning could be made in . 1926.
