eral Government, and proposals on a
grander scale serve only to clutter up
the highway Job.
"But this much can be said. and said
with emphasis" the bulletin continues
"it Is high time for the side road. the
community road. or any other of the
designations usually given to the little
| road, to receive a larger share Of con-
structive attention. 1t is high time also
that 1t have allocated to 1t larger por-
ton OF the highway revenue to which II
is no small contributor iii license fee
and gas tax, paid by those whose homes
and farms lie back from the main road
When bonds were issued and redemp-
ton provided by pledging automotive
income over a long period Of years, the
secondary road was promised attention
as soon as the State systems were well
under way. It is time now that this
promise be kept and that before any
capital Is put into transcontinentaI ex-
press highway schemes the secondary
roads come i'll for their delayed share
OF Improvement.
From the standpoint OF general com
rnunity value building. there can be
round no greater or more promising field
for the investment of automotive in
come, now that State systems are SC
well under way. In its more than two
and a half million miles the secondary
road touches more homes and serves
more people in its local service than the
more assertive and pretentious main
road. True, the main road carries the
heavier load into town. but the Sec
ondary road, because of its purely local
character, runs back to the very tap
roots Of trade and social life, and 1t is
one section Of the country's highway
job which will augment rather than
detract from the railway. 1t is the
undeveloped short-haul field.
Not only does the local road present
itself as next in line for Improvement
but it offers a field for large returns at
small expense. Good drainage, for that,
after all. is the fundamental factor in
all road building. requires no bond is
sues nor long years of pledged income
from the automobile to repay its cost. "
The bulletin concludes with the sug-
gestion that here in the zone of local
or secondary road. despite the fact that
such roads are usually under county or
township jurisdiction. is a waiting field
for transportation advancement It is
field. therefore, to which governors,
legislative bodies and highway authori-
ties generally should give greater atten-
tion In framing their respective road
building programs. Through the simple
expedient of good drainage there are
more than 100000 miles Of highway
to be brought up to higher standard
of service. as feeders not only for heavy
traffic routes leading into cities. but for
the railways as well. It Is field also
in which there is no conflict whatever
with other forms of transportation. and
in view of the enhanced land values it
will create, the claims of county and
township roads for larger share in the
receipts now coming from the automo-
bile are undoubtedly valid
