Newly Developed Lights
Urged for Highway Use

Ohio may become the testing field
for system Of super highways, food
lighted from one end of the state to
another, that may eventually be
adopted throughout the country.
f. G. Harrison, president Of the
Good Roads Federation of Ohio, has
already advanced this idea before
highway conference at Columbus And
he has the backing of specialists on
lighting, as we'll as highway engineers
Harrison's plan, If adopted, would
entail the construction Of a double
decked highway system where heavy
interstate traffic demanded 1t, and of
lighting these and all other roads In
the state with series of lights new
ly developed at the Nela research
laboratories in Cleveland. These lights
flood the road more effectively, 1t is
said, than any boulevard lights In use
today. Their principle Is already In
use on the large air-mail fields, where
the landing grounds are flooded by the
rays from one powerful lamp.
At the same time, says Harrison.
the cost of installation OF this sys-
TEN would be comparatively cheap.

Hard Street Pavements
Gaining in Popularity

More than 5000 cities and towns in
the United States have built hard
street pavements. The general adop-
ton of this type of pavement came
with the automobile, operating on
pneumatic tires. Before that, commu
mites that sought paved streets, chose
materials that were resilient and
quiet when horse-drawn, steel-tired
vehicles drove over them.
But with the general adoption Of
the motor vehicle and heavy pneu-
matic-tired trucks, cities realized that
a hard, true surfaced pavement was q
necessity and concrete became pro-
nounced favorite. Before 1909 there
were only about thirty miles Of con-
crete pavement in use in the whole
country Today there Is 10000 miles
or more, and hundreds and hundreds
more miles are being built this year.
More than 1000 cities laid concrete
streets last year, and this year will
undoubtedly prove better than last.
The first hard-surface pavement In
the United States was built in 1892 In
Bellefontaine, Ohio. This was a mar
row strip along the hitching rack on
one side of the court house square.
The following year the rest of the
street was paved as we'll as the
three other streets around the court
house. All of this pavement is giving
perfect service today, although more
than thirty years old.

BUILDING
PAVED HIGHWAYS
ARE JOY FOREVER

Statistics recently compiled by the
state highway commission show that
the maintenance cost of unpaved high
ways has increased SO per cent In the
last two years, and If any further ar
gument were necessary for paved
highways that should cinch the Ques-
ton, says the Hibbing (Nfinn.) Daily
News.
There will be an increase shown for
all of the dirt roads of the state at
the end of the present year, for the
simple reason that traffic will be ma
terially increased and the greater the
traffic the greater will be the highway
upkeep. 1t looks like a waste Of good
money to go on building dirt roads
and trying to keep them In anything
like decent condition for travel.
The initial cost of the pavement is
considerably over that of the dirt
road, but that cost is practically the
end of 1.-THE upkeep of the paved
highway is merely an incidental, while
the upkeep Of the dirt road Is steady,
ever increasing, and there is but an
Indifferent highway at best.
Take, for instance, some of the high
ways about Hibbing Enough money
has been spent on them to keep them
in condition to have paved them twice
over, and still they are far from be-
ing the kind Of highway anybody
wants-and they never will be any
thing else until the expensive policy
has been done away with.
The paved highway is thing of
beauty and Joy forever to the trav-
eler-it is always there, in the ideal
highway condition, and while 1t evil
IDENTIFY brings about a great saving to
the taxpayer, 1t spreads industry and
prosperity and gladdens the hearts OF
every one who has any use whatever
for highway, and most everyone,
nowadays has that.
1t is to be hoped that our highway
builders will grasp this Idea of the
paved road being the only kind Of
highway that will fill the need, and
then stop wasting public money on
something that cannot be done.
