Roads Are Not Keeping
Pace With Motor Vehicles
Great Highway Progress, but Car
Builders Are Ahead, Babcock
Tells Road Meeting

Despite the unprecedented i'm
provements in highways during the
last quarter century, road building
has not kept pace with the building
and buying of motor vehicles, c.
M. Babcock, commissioner OF high.
ways of Minnesota, said in his adj
dress as president Of the American
Road Builders associated at 'Cleve-
land, Jan 10. The convention
was the twenty-fifth meeting of the
organization, and Mr.. Babcock in
his address reviewed the highway
progress made during the time the
association has been in existence.
'Only few people think of their
road cost as an essential part OF
their transportation cost, Mr..
Babcock said. Altogether too
many put every available dollar in
to the vehicle, and seem to think
that the intangible agency known
as ''the government should by some
magic provide good roads every
where without cost to them"
Manufacturers of automobiles,
trucks and accessories, he said, are
spending millions to advertise their
products. Road officials cannot buy
newspaper space, and manufac-
turers of road machinery and ma
terials do not spend anywhere near
the amount for advertising that is
spent by the motor vehicle makers.
Much of the advertising done by
the makers or road machinery and
materials is directed at the officials
and contractors rather than the
general public. = -, ~
81 am not advocating spending
any money for propaganda to in.
duce the public to build roads in
discriminatory" said Mr.. Babcock
'But ] think it is our duty to use
every fair means to point out where
there is waste of public funds in
trying to- maintain roads that are
not adequate to the traffic, ano
to point out to vehicle owners the
needless waste in the cost of op.
Grating. vehicles on roads that are
not adequately improved"

ers in the highway industry. "The
organization" Mr. Babcock said
''is entitled to large share of cred
it for the rapid advance in roae
improvement which has taken place
during the quarter century. "Mucl
of this progress would have beer
impossible without modern ma.
chinery and the research word done
by manufacturers and by the state
highway departments"
'"The association has consistent

much-needed improvement, was
completed last week with the sand
ing and marking of the new sur
face, which puts the local basket
ball plant back in first class shape
for. future Sgames and especially
the two tournaments to be held
here later.
The trouble, which was a series
of springy soft spots, sagging un-
derfoot and making the ball GO
ahead on a dribble, was caused by
the cross strips in the concrete
foundation becoming loosened and
rotted. These were replaced where
necessary and layer of six inch
wide boards nailed over these on

when the flooring Was put back
