HUDSON LIGHTS
POPULAR

Indications that the motoring
public is more safety conscious
today than probably ever before
are seen by w. R. Tracy, vice
president in charge of sales of Hud-
son Motor Car Company, in the
heavy demand this year for safe
driving accessories, such as fog
lights, swinging and blinking stop
lights and special rear-view mir
rorS.
The use of fog lights has nearly
reached fad proportions, said Mr..
Tracy, who pointed out that Hud-
son and Terraplane distributors
and dealers in practically all sec
tions are experiencing an excep-
tionally heavy demand for this
type of equipment. Heaviest sales
are reported from lake, mountain
and coastal regions, where fogs are
most prevalent, he said.

tire year of 1885. This was an
nounced today by Joseph D.
Burke, director of truck sales for

42.2 per cent.

40 STATES JOIN
R0ADSURVEY
BY THOMAS ]. KEEFE,
General Manager American
Motorists Association

In the Hayden-Csrtwright act
Of 1884, there appeared for the
first time in Federal highway leg
islation a recognition of the need
for definite planning of the fu-
ture Of highway improvement ex-
tending beyond the main roads.
The act says:
with the approval Of the
Secretary Of Agriculture, not to
exceed 112 per centum Of the
amount appOrtiOned for any
year to any State under Sec
tiOns l and 4 Of this act may be
used for surveys, plans and en-
gineering investigations for fu-
ture construction in such State,
either on the FederaI-aid high
way system and extensions
thereof or on secondary or
feeder roads,"
Back of this general and legal
phraseology there was the def
mite intent to encourage and
make possible the conduct OF
broad studies and Investigations
in all States, such as are known
to be needed to establish a sound
basis for a future highway de.
velopment plan and policy.
Although we have been work
ing to improve our road systems
for at least 80 years there is still
almost two-thirds of the 100000
miles total of rural roads that to
all intents and purposes has not
been touched by the road build
ers. These roads have been un-
der the control of local authori-
ties and because of the inadequacy
of records, very little is definitely
known about them. We have not
even known their total mileage
with any certainty. We have very
little knowledge of the kind or
amount of traffic they carry or Of
the numbers of farms and homes
and other properties they serve.
Since the Federal Government
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

is now aiding in the improvement
of secondary or feeder roads we
are finding this lack of reliable
information serious handicap to
wise and economical expenditure
of the secondary road funds.
1t was principally to supply this
most needed information that the
Bureau of Public Roads in Sep
tember, 1885, first suggested to all
of the State highway departments
an expenditure Of the so-called
~ per cent funds for the con-
duct of surveys that would bring

gard to the present conditions,
