ROAD BUILDING
TO INCREASE IN
1880, FORECAST
Boost ip Highway Program
viii Aid Employment
Situation.
BIZ Science Service

BIZ Science SerUice
WASHINGTON, March Pres
ent low money rates, which again
make bonds an attractive invest
ment, will make it possible in 1880
to begin to catch up with our neces-
sary building program, it Is
predicted in a report to the Amerl-
can Road Builders Association.
During the last two years OF ex-
ceptional business opportunities
municipal, state and county bonds
for road improvement have suffered
in comparison with securities yield
ing higher returns, and the develop
ment of highways has not kept pace
with the increasing production OF
automobiles.
CONSTRUCTION programs, as affect
ing employment, are of Importance
because of the number of people
affected" the report said. "Esti-
mating that an expenditure Of $1,000
gives employment to one man, the
100000 900 program Of 1929 gave
employment to some 100000 men
engaged in the actual construction
and maintenance of roads. In addi-
ton, the production of between $780,
100000 and $100,000000 in road ma
chinery and special devices for road
building kept many thousands OF
men employed in factories.
Thousands at Work
A large part Of the crushed stone
and Portland cement industry is
dependent on the building of high
ways. Asphalt, by-product in the
production of gasoline, is used ex-
tensively for roads. The sand and
gravel business alone employs many
more thousands. There are many
other materials that find use in
road building and in the manufac-
ture of which many people find
gainful employment.
Increased attention must be paid
to traffic control Our roads have
been designed for comparatively
slow traffic with but little traffic
control, but, because of the rapid
development in motor vehicle
speeds, they are now accommodate
ing, after a fashion, high-speed
traffic but at a tremendous cost of
life and personal injury.
Such traffic control consists, in
part, of grade separations, auto
matte signals at interesting roads,
lighting of railroad crossings, bet
ter policing and better driver law
enforcement.
Favor License Law
Every state should have a strict
drivers license law to rule off the
road incompetent drivers and pun
ish careless drivers by suspension
of licenses.
"These safety provisions alone
represent q tremendous expenditure
Of money which, in justice to the
traffic, should be taken from gaso-
line tax and motor license fees. In
short, the proper signaling of a
road is just as important as the
pavement.
1--WE have sixty-mile- an-hour
pavepents and twenty-mile-
hour signaling and accessory. struc-
lures. This condition must be cor
rected."

BRITISH CLAIM
HUGE SUM FOR
LOSSES IN WAR
Taxpayers to Be Burdened
II High Court Allows
S215,O0O,000.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

LONDON, March British civil
ians who caught it in the neck from
German airplanes, ZeppelinS and
submarines during the war, are
making 8 last desperate effort TO
get some money for their suffer
inRs. and If they do. the groaning
British taxpayer will find a new
load tagged on to his already enor-
nous burden.
? At this moment British court Of
appeals Is considering these civilian
claims, which ask some S215, 100000
az compensation for damages in
hicted by German aerial and sub
marine warfare on noncombatants,
Tho petitioners are asking that the
British government be compelled to
reimburse them out of any money
Il gets from Germany in the shape
Of reparstions-
Deficit Faced
This is what make things look
dark for the British taxpayer. The
British government has insisted all
along that it would collect from
Germany only enough to pay the
British debt to the United States.
But If the courts direct it to shell
out S215,000 900 of these reparations
payments to British claimants, the
treasury will have just that much
less with which to pay America, and
the deficit will have TO be made
up by taxation.
Three lord justices, Scrutton,
Greer and SleSser, now are hearing
arguments Of Civilian War Claim
ants Association, representing
twenty-eight petitioners with a total
claim Of S7.50O00O. This is a test
case and If it is allowed the whole
S215 10000 will have to go through
also.
Pay Promised
One Of the bases of the claim TO
the money is the fact that Lloyd
George, when premier, promised in
the spring Of 1919 that one of the
first claims on German would be
for full compensation for loss at
sea.
It was not until 1925, however,
that the movement to press for the
settlement of these damages really
got under way. 1t broadened until
now it includes a widely scattered
collection of claimants and causes
Of action.
First Of all those who lost rela-
tives or property through the sub
marine warfare. Then there are
those who suffered from German air
raids on England. Some claimants
asks damages for personal injuries
or loss of property sustained
through internment in German priS-
on camps or by enemy action in the
occupied regions Of France and
Belgium. /
Still other claims arise from the
German naval commandments of the
unfortlhed seacoast towns of Scar
borough, Whitley and Hartlepool, in
which more than 100 civilians were
killed and 500 more were wounded.
$4,000 Filed
incidentally, these petitions reveal
that the Zeppelin raids on London
did far more damage than the war
time censors ever allowed to become
known.
During the war the government
asked all such sufferers to put in
their claims for damages, and in
1924 a royal commission was given
S25000,00O to settle all claims. Then
It developed that this sum would
be nowhere near enough More
