GOOD ga
L
FOR GOOD A

More than q billion dollars will be
spent this year for highway construc-
ton and Improvements, according to
figures received from government
sources.
1t is planned to construct 2S,S41
miles of new roads. For new bridges
S5S,000,0O0 will be expended. Anoth-
err S27,000,000 will be used for recon
structing existing roads.
Not only is the nation wisely spend
ing larger sums of money for good
roads, but the highway engineer Is
building more expertly. The modern
roadbuilder builds for safety. No long
er does he depend on warning signs
and devices. Instead, if necessary, he
eliminates curves, avoids railroad
crossings and reduces steep grades.
In doing so he minimizes greatly the
possibility Of accidents at those places.
1t is interesting to note that S27, OOO,-
600 is available for the reconstruction
Of good roads. The necessity for
ouiiuihS Niucl highways anu IUT VIII
ening roads is most evident. Traffic
must continue to rapidly, other
wise congestion becomes more and
more a problem.
For the upkeep and maintenance Of
239,S47 miles of roads, S126,O0O.OOO is.
available and expected to be used by
the various states. The total expen- |
diture provided In the state programs
through their highway departments
is placed at S64S,4S3, 900. In addition
to that figure, approximately S477.OOO,-
600 Is expected to be spent by
ties and other lesser subdivisions of
the government.
Estimated total road mileage to be
built by state highway departments
includes 6,957 miles Of earth improyed
roads, 1896 miles of sand, clay. gray
el and macadam roads and 7,4S9 miles
of asphalt, concrete and brick high
ways.
Millions of dollars for good roadsl
The economic influence of improved
highways is a story that would fill a
book. Think Of the effect on real es-
tate values alone that such roads will
have. Such highways will result also
in a further d%isintegration of urban
life and further development of subur-
ban and rural life.

Earth Roads Dominant
in the United States

Earth roads constitute SIS per cent
OF the 100000 miles Of officially des-
ignated public highways In the United
States. Yet they carry less than Is
per cent traffic of all roads.
One Of the big problems that con-
front road builders is to arrive at a
standard, so far ss is possible con-
sidering different conditions In diff
ferent localities, for stabilizing the
earth road. Engineers believe this a
be done by treating the soils. The
highway research board Is about to
undertake an intensive study of the
question
Soil, climate, weather, drainage
those are a few OF the factors which
enter into the study to complicate
conclusions. Already the matter of
drainage has been fairly well solved.
Hundreds Of articles have been writ
ten on the making Of a good ea-.n
road surface; yet engineers regard the
Issue as unsettled.

Ideal Road Conditions
Predicted in Is Years

According to highway engineers
roads Is years hence will be a mini
mum Of 40 feet in width. They Will
be well lighted at night and policed by
stop-and-go signals. All surface drain
age will be carried In storm sewers
beneath the ground line. All tele-
phone, electric light wires, etc, will
be carried underground.
All railroad grade crossings will be
eliminated by a separation of grades.
The highways will be beautifed by
the planting of trees and shrubbery
in the parkways. Speed limits will
be fixed at a minimum rather than a
maximum, as Is now the vogue. Street
cars will be su~pplanted by buses to
connect with the rapid transit rail
lines. Pedestrians will be prohibited
from crossing the street.
Subways or overhead crossings will
b provided for their use. In the
downtown congested districts elevated
Sidewalks will be provided for them.

Traffic Congestion

Congestion Of traffic is not prevalent
on the rural highways. Most frequent.
ly 1t occurs at the gateways leading
into the cities. The arterIal highways
leading into large cities frequently
pass through neighboring satellite cen.
tiers. The traffic is more than local.
yet local control remains. There is q
gap here which must be bridged. Ar
terial highways in these metropolitan
areas must be built, but this can be
accomoli he'd only through united ac-
ton o. the authorities.

the death of J. S. Larew and which
is filled temporarily by Vaughn n.
Thompson, will probably he def
nitely settled in the primary to be
held in August.
The candidates for the office are
all nominated on partisan
ticket and the fact that there are
at present only two candidates for
the office would indicate that the
question will be settled in the pri-
mary, the candidate receiving the
most votes being elected. In case
names are written in, in the ballot
ing, one of the candidates may still
be elected in the primary, prOvid-
ing he polls vote larger than the
remainder of the field.
In the primary to be held on Aug,
2S, the nominations of candidates
for United States senate, house of
representatives, state assembly and
three county supervisors will be eff
fected in addition to the Judge.
All voters wishing to east ballots

VENTURA, Calf, July Il. ~
Fire sweeping the Frazier mountain
in the Santa Barbara National for
est had burned over more than 2O00
acres this morning but was believed
under control of the go men bat
thing it.
The blaze, started late yesterday
by the explosion of campers gaso-
line stove, endangered lives and
homes when it was famed by 20
mile wind last night. Scores of
campers were forced to flee from
quarters near Lebec and four cabins
were reported destroyed in the see
tor.
Early today however, the breeze
died out and firefighters began to
successfully back-fire.
The exact location of the fire is
near the point where Los Angeles,
Kern and Ventura counties join.
