ROAD ADVANTAGES
MUST Be KNOWN
Highway Authorities Should
Acquaint Public, Says
Smith.

People interested in highway &C
tivities must organize to acquaint the
public with the advantages of good
roads and especially how roads can be
built profitably and economically, "
states W. r. Smith, president of the
American Road Builders Association,
in summarizing the results of the
twenty-ninth annual convention and
road show, which assembled over 49,
500 road builders in Detroit last week.
A Highway Tax.
1.-THE gasoline tax is highway tax, "
declared Mr.. Smith, land any diversion
to purposes other than roads and
streets will be opposed, not only by
those interested in highway activities,
but by 26,000,000 motorists who are
now contributing large part OF the
funds used for road and street
building"
The convention and road show held
this year in the commodious city ex-
position building in Detroit was nota-
BILE for the comprehensive and diversi-
fed exhibits of road building and main
tenance equipment and material. Par
ticular emphasis was given to low cost
road construction and maintenance,
and the showing of motor trucks In
which 80 per cent of the truck manu-
facturers were represented with extern
sive displays. The exposition build
ing was filled with exhibits and a
marked interest was shown by the
thousands who attended.
In the 40 convention sessions the
problems of construction and main
tenance, traffic, motor freight and
other subjects related to highway ac-
tivities were thoroughly aired and in
Vulnerable recommendations made.
Presidents Statement.
At the general meeting on road and
street planning, President Hoover con-
tributed the statement that "the Ameri-
can Road Builders Association Is
rendering an important public service
not only in extending the highway
system of the country, but in connec-
ton with an increased road building
program as a means of employment
Road building by Federal, State and
city agencies is a major factor In un-
employment relief" The meeting mo-
bilized the army of State, county and
city officials, engineers, contractors,
commercial highway users and manu-
facturers to fight any tendency to slow
down construction projects in the name
of economy, and to divert to other uses
than road and street construction and
maintenance the tax money derived
from motor vehicles.
