u. S. Road Funds Are Seen
As Employment Stabilizer
Need for Jobs and Improved Roads
Makes Federal Assistance Par
ticularly Valuable

Washington, Nov. 30-"Federal
Funds for road building is one of
the greatest stabilizing factors in
the current business period" w. C..
Markham, executive secretary of
American Association of State
Highway officials declared today.
Attention was called by Mr..
Markham to the employment of
over $4,000 men in building roads
on the state highway systems, in
1881, remarking that although Fed
eral Aid embraces only about one
tenth of the money actually spent
in state road betterment the effect
of this Federal assistance was to
stimulate the states to much great
er activity than if little or no Fed
eral Aid had been granted"
"The need for improved highways
in the United States is so acute that
everyone should be in favor of the
method that will bring the most
roads," said Mr.. Markham. ITO
those who have studied road build
ing it is quite apparent that there
is no better way than through Fed
eral government guidance as pro-
nounced through Federal Aid. Fed
eral Aid, therefore, is doubly valu-
able at a time like this when men
need work.
at is indeed fortunate that Fed
eral monies will be extended on a
fairly large scale during coming
years. Thousands and thousands of
the men employed in road work Ibis
year would have been out of jobs
if these funds had been curtailed.
The $4,000 road men at work in
1881 represented, considering their
families, some 100000 individuals.
Federal participation was RESPONSE
BILE for the well being of at least a
third of these people.
"On the other hand it would be
distinctly unfortunate if Federal
cooperation were to be reduced in
any degree, for the history of state
road building shows that not only
has Federal Aid led The states to
think in progressive terms but also
to throw more energy and devote
more money to road building than
they would otherwise have done.
Business conditions are such that
public construction as a bulwark
against unemployment is wildly re-
vealed. To reduce Federal funds
would be to add materially to the
nations jobless.
"It would be a different matter If
the need for smooth travelways
were not so great. But as it is, the
cost and inconvenience of motoring
must be reduced. Money properly
spent on road improvement, as is
every nickle that comes under the
supervision of the Federal Govern
ment, saves as much or more for
motorists. Further, bargain prices
in construction work now prevail.
Todays dollar is buying more
roads.
All things considered, particular
ly from the standpoint of providing
work for large numbers of men,
the Federal Government participa-
ton assumes a magnificent import
ance and the country can be thank
full that this plan is in operation
concluded Mr.. Markham.
