HIGHWAY PROPOSED
TO MIDNIGHT SUN
Legislation Sponsored by Senator
Norbeck Offers Route Into
Arctic Circle.

Steps toward the building of "road
to the land Of the Midnight Sun" have
already been taken by Congress, accord
Ing to the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
The A. A. A. pointed out that q pend
ing measure, introduced by Senator Nor
beck OF South Dakota, provides for a
report on the feasibility of a highway
from Fairbanks to Point Barrow on the
Arctic Coast or some other point at
which the midnight sun is visible.
THE proposal" said the national mo-
toring body, sis in line with the study of
proposed highway to connect the
Northwestern part of the United States
with British Columbia, the Yukon and
Alaska. The Dominion of Canada Is
cooperating with the United States"
The A. A. A. statement continues:
There Is growing sentiment, espe-
cially In the West, for highway con-
Meeting this country and its Territory of
Alaska, penetrating one Of the most pic
turesque sections Of Canada. Western
Affiliations of the A. A. A. have given
the project considerable support, and
are receiving the assistance of motor
clubs In all parts of the country.
1.-THE desire of Americans to travel be-
yond the borders of their own country
Is evidenced by the heavy annual flow
of travel into Canada. The move to-
ward making the land of the Midnight
Sun accessible to car owners viii be
watched with great interest"

COURTS SETFO
MOTORISTS RIGHTS
A. M. A. Cites Rulings of
California and Maine
Tribunals.

Two important decisions, involving
fundamental rights of motorists, have
just been rendered by two appellate
courts, according to reports to the Legal
department of the American Motorists
Association.
Probably the more important of the
two," declares Thomas j. Keefe. general
manager Of the A. M. A., in reviewing
them, is that of the District Court Of
Appeals Of the State of California. The
decision, rendered September Is, hold:
unconstitutional that part of the State
motor vehicle law which took away
from the motorist his drivers license in
the event he did not satisfy any damage
judgment within Is days after the
judgment" The decision is important,
Keefe points out, because of similar leg
islation in number of States.
such legislation" the court declared,
sis unfair discrimination against the
driver who has not the finances to meet
the Judgment. The provision for can
collation. of a license to drive, based
upon the ability Of the driver to sat
isfy money damage judgment, gives
to the person of means a distinct ad-
vantage which has no connection what
ever with his ability to drive, and de-
prives another person Of valuable prop
erty rights because of his lack OF
means. The act is unconstitutional"
The second decision, rendered by the
Supreme Court Of Maine, involves the
right of an automobile owner to re-
cover damages done his car under the
following circumstances:
A, the owner (bailor), loaned his car
to B, his son, to take friends to q
dance. Returning, B. the son, per-
mitted one of his friends to drive. The
friend (bailee) collided with KS car. A
the owner -bailor, sued x for damages
to his car. The evidence showed that
the sons friend (bailee driver) operated
the car negligently.
The lower court, in effect, instructed
the jury that the plaintiff, the bailor-
owner, could not recover because Of the
contributory negligence Of the bailee-
driver. The Maine Supreme Court re-
versed the decision, and summed up the
law as follows:
1.-THE modern view is that in bail
ments, other than for carriage, the con-
tributory negligence Is not imputabl
to the bailor where the subject OF bail
ment Is damaged by third person
The plaintiff was rightly aggrieved al
che Instruction given by the lower
court. The case is reversed"
Both decisions. 1t is pointed out by
the legal department OF the A. M. A.
involves fundamental rights OF motor
lists, and for this reason is being called
to the attention Of Washington motor.

Because there is urgent need for more
smooth pavementS and because pave
ment construction provides a consider
able volume of work, communities
throughout the country are discovering
that accelerated highway programs are
greatly relieving unemployment, accord
ing to z. e. Duffy, highway educational
writer.
Representative Of what q pavement
program can do for a State is the
present situation in Iewa, q State with
a penchant for determining the why's
and wherefores of its road expenditures.
Thirty thousand workmen on Iowa
roads are engaged this year in earning
for themselves no less than $4,000, 00o.
This means that more than half of the
$33 100000 Iowa is spending in 1880 on
roads will go directly into the pockets
of worklnen. Further. all this road
money will represent backed-up pur-
chasing power that will stimulate bust
nesses and industries not even remotely
connected with highways.
incidentally, Iowa's roads were nine
tentl1s mud in 1920; at the end Of 1880
they will be 80 per cent surfaced
through the wise use Of bond issue
money. Iowa is keeping her money In
circulation.
Superior, wis, has, like many other
employment problem. And Superior.
similar to countless other cities, has .
real need for additional smooth. hard
surfaced streets Accordingly, advan-
tage is being taken of present bargain
prices of pavement construction, with
so blocks OF concrete pavements doubt
less to be installed before the year is
ended. This construction program Is
not only providing considerable en-
ployment but the example is inducing

NAPOLEON, OHIO, BRIDGE
BUILT BY WATERLOO MAN
Gov. Cooper Dedicates Structure
Near Scene of Mad Anthony
Wayne's Exploits.

Ohio's newest and perhaps most
beautiful bridge, which has just been
built at Napoleon" by a Waterloo
contractor. was dedicated at Napoleon,
Ohio. recently, with Gov. Myers Y.
Cooper as principal speaker. This is a
75O-foot, $4,000 concrete bridge over
the historic and scenic Maumee River
a stately but unassuming "paleface"
structure, which has driven its prede-
ceSsor downstream after so years of
service with the same relentless eff
cheney that the valleys great "paleface"
warrior, the famous Mad Anthony
Wayne, used q century earlier In driving
the Indians down the same river TO end
the savage Western wars and pillages OF
the Revolution.
The new bridge is located on United
States Highway No, "a, which runs
from Pontiac, Mich, via Detroit, To-
ledo, Napoleon, Fort Wayne, Peoria and
Quincy, to Kansas City, Mo, and which
also serves Ohio State Highways Nos.
80 and a. It is a reinforced concrete
arch bridge, with seven 95-Ioot clear
spans, a 36-foot roadway and two 5-foot
sidewalks. The project involved lS,OOO
cubic yards Of excavation.

HIGH EDGES PREVENT
SIAMESE WASHOUTS
Oriental Road Building Reverses
the Crown Plan Used in
United States.

As motorists who travel unfrequented
roads have occasion to know, newly
constructed dirt road generally has 2
high crown in the center, sloping on
toward the edges so that 1t viii sneo
water. This practice, accepted as
standard in most countries, is just the
reverse of the method in far-oh Siam,
where, instead of crown, the road Is
SO constructed that the edges are ga
inches higher than the center, according
to report submitted for the Sixth In
ternational Road Congress, which viii
be held in Washington in october. This
report was submitted by Luang Prinya-
yogavibulya, chief of the Department OF
Ways, Bangkok, Siam.
Because Siam is generally nat, it was
stated in the report, the. highways con-
sist mostly of entertainments. Due to
frequent and torrential rains, If the
roads were built with crowns the sur
faces would soon be seriously damaged.
To eliminate this they are constructed
originally with the sides higher than the
center and thus the water is retained in
the roadway, seeping through the earth
and helping to compact it. says Prinya-
yogavibulya. Within year, it has been
found, new road will be fairly compact
by this method, while of the other type
of road virtually nothing would remain.
The writer points out that, timber be-
ing plentiful, bridges on new highways
are made Of wood.
