ROAD EXPENDITURE BUGABOOS
HELD RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
The Public Is Losing It's Fears Concerning
Hig hway Costs, Says Thomas
H. Macdonald.

Thre is a slow turning in the public
mind from the old bugaboos and fears
Of disaster through large expenditures
for highways.
This is the conclusion arrived at by
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, after max
ing careful study of the progress that
has been made in road building under
the Federal aid plan.
The Acid Test.
"T'he acid test" says Mr.. Macdonald,
in taking up the subject of sound
financing, lis the ability to support with
unbroken continuity the two essentials
Of successful highway program-the
perfect maintenance of existing high
ways and a reasonable annual expan-
sion Of modern highway construction
There Is no clean-cut line of division
between highway f1nacing, highway ad-
ministration and highway engineering
technique. Each is so intimately re-
lated to and dependent upon the other
two that they stand, succeed or fail
together.
Public financing. particularly in re-
lation to public works, is Of an entirely
different character than private flnanc-
ing, and much confusion has existed in
the public mind from this fact. The
average banking executive, grown wary
through contact with relatively short
lived corporations and shorter lived in
dividuals, lacks the Imagination, initia-
tive and experience to plan successful
financing Of large and long continuing
highway improvement policy.
Reliance on Faith.
Formerly there had to be reliance
solely upon faith in the profltableness
of highway improvement to induce the
undertaking of large expenditures. Now
there Is needed only a knowledge of
results actually secured where faith
earlier provided for an extensive pro-
gram of highway development. Full
confidence is justified If a major part
Of the annual expenditure adds to the
permanent investment, If the necessary
taxes on property are so reasonable the
public Is willing to continue them in
definitely and If the taxes upon the
road user are so miderate they do not
discourage expansion in the utilization
Of highway transport.
Since the inevitable result Of such
policies Is an accelerated growth in
highway traffic, financial policies must

1t is a poor housekeeper. indeed (at
any rate in the eyes of her neighbors)
who overlooks the friendly warnings Of
Spring. and neglects to give her
dwelling the thorough housekeeping
which has become an annual ritual in
every clearly home. The automobiles
would be the benefactor If this same i'll

garding the thorough automobile clean
ing which is essential to good car opera
ton at the close of the Winter months.
Cleanse Radiator.
In the first place, all traces Of anti
freezing mixtures used in the colder
months should be removed from the
radiator This is also a good oppor-
tlInity to get rid of the rust and sludge
which may have accumulated and which
might prevent the most efficient use of
the cooling system at a time when its
best operation is necessary. Pressure
flushing has been found TO be a most
effective measure for removing various
deposits from the radiator.
Putting the engine in the best Of
order for the greatest efficiency in
wolves cleaning, testing and adjusting.
Cleaning necessitates flushing out the
old oil and removing the dirt and
grease from the engine. The latter pro-
cedure can be accomplished by COM
pressed air or cleaning the outside with
gasoline Care should be exercised not
to let any sparks or matches come near
the engine at this time.
The compression ignition and wiring
Of the engine should receive expert
enced attention and examination. Car
bon may have to be removed from the
cylinders, the valves may need to be
ground and adjusted, the spark plugs
cleaned and the vacuum tank tested
The ignition apparatus should be
cleaned, oiled and the points adjusted
The starter brushes and commutators
should be smoothed up and starter
brush springs examined. The car
buretor, float valve. stem and float
valve weights should be inspected and
the carburetor body and spring cham
Der cleaned and the spray nozzle blown
out good survey should also be made
of all the water connections.

In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

plan simply provides some COM
pensation to the dealer for losses
which might be incurred in the
Scrapping of a limited number of
the used cars that he takes In.
The highway safety program
resulted from a general recogni-
ton by the industry that the con-
tinued operation of Anticipated
vehicles constituted not only an
unnecessary annoyance, but a
serious menace to the safety of
other highway users.
Problem Complicated.
This problem was complicated
by the fact that auto dealers, un-
der the pressure of competition,
were making more liberal allow
anceS on wornout trade-inS than
were justified, and then were
tempted to resell the vehicles, al
though they had outlived their
usefulness.
While most manufacturers al
low their dealer a certain Stipu-
Der of cars that are demolished
in the presence of factory rep
resentative, or through an au-
thorized junk yard, one company
pays a fiat rate Of $40 for each
complete car that is delivered to
the company's private salvage
plant.
It is anticipated that 1881 will
witness an even greater number
of vehicles removed from the
highways as other companies join
in the program.
Aids Conservation.
Besides contributing to the i'm
provement of safety conditions on
the highways, the plan also aids
the Nations natural resources.
1t has been estimated that every
ton of iron that is salvaged saves
more than five tons of raw ma
terialS which would be required in
producing 1000 pounds of pig iron.
In his report, Mr.. Reeves dis
closed that the Institute of Scrap
Iron and Steel has undertaken to
develop a plan for cooperating
with the automobile manufactur-
ers and cooperating in the pro-
gram providing for official Junk
yards.
Automobile manufacturers which
are already participating in the
standard or similar plans include
Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, De
Soto, Dodge, Ford, Graham, Hup-
mobile, Cadillac, Marquette, Nash,
Oakland, Olsmobile, LaSalle, Ply
mouth, Pontiac, Studebaker, Stutz,
Viking and WHY'S Overland.

1.-THE OLD PRINTING PRESS"

Tucson, Ariz., April 24.-The
first printing press to enter the
territory of Arizona and the one
used to issue the early guberna
torial warnings against Apaches
and to print the early copies Of
the "Arizonian" is now in the
Historical Society room in the
University Stadium.
With the coming of the cleo.
trio lights to Tubac, Arizona,
last week the last vestige of old
Arizona has passed from the
pioneer town and soon, it is be.
lieved, other relics will come to
the pioneers room to join the
old printing press.
The press which was present
ed by William Hattich. Arizona
pioneer, was brought around
the Horn" to Tubac in 1858. 1t
was the twenty-fifth press to be
made by the Cincinnati Foundry
company, an organization that
has long since gone out Of ex
istence.
After q brief and stormy
journalistic career at Tubac,
says MIR. Hattich, the historic
press was brought to Tucson,
serving Tucson's early publica
tions. In 1880 it was taken to
Tombstone.
During it's active life the track
of the original press was broken
and a part of another pioneer
Washington press, itself dated
1875, was substituted. The old
press, though primitive, yet sub
stantial in construction, could
with slight repairs be placed in
workable condition." declares
Mr.. Hattlch.
