National Roads Survey
Aids Highway Planning
HOWARD BRUCE
Candidate for Democratic Nomination
for United States Senator

Surveys to guide the planning OF
future highway Improvements are
progressing rapidly in 46 states and
the District of Columbia, according
to the annual report of the U. S.
public roads administration. These
surveys, jointly financed and con-
Quoted by the road administration
and the state highway departments,
include complete inventories OF all
rural roads and detailed studies
of highway traffic, and highway
finance.
The report states that one OF the
most generally useful products OF
the planning surveys is series OF
large-scale state and county maps.
The county maps, generally on a
scale of one inch to one mile or
greater, show, in addition to trans
portation facilities, all physical fea-
lures and man-made improvements,
and will form the first up-to-date and
comprehensive series of county
maps ever made. Other series OF
maps to be drafted on the base
maps show highway and other trans
portation systems, bus and truck
routes, postal routes, school-bus
routes, and traffic volume.
The 1910 federal census will be
more complete because of this map
ping work, according to the report.
For the first time the boundary Linn
it's around the settled areas Of I'm
incorporated urban communities OF
300 or more population have been
established in 20 states, making pos
sible census reports for such COM
munities.
Field surveys, which form the
basis of the map work, and also an
inventory of the present extent and
condition of all rural roads, have
been completed in 43 states, covering
an aggregate of 2,748, 1853 miles, the
report states.
In cooperation with the Associa-
ton of American Railroads pertinent
facts relating to rural and urban
grade crossings are being supplied.
This information will be combined
with data from field inventory OF
the crossings and with traffic counts
to develop new improvement pro-
grams in which first attention will be
given to the most dangerous cross
ings.
Field work on the traffic surveys
has been completed in all but nine
states, according to the report. AT
3,237 stations the weights of trucks,
commodities carried, and other data
trucks and truck-trailer combina-
tons. Information on the weights
and dimensions of buses and num-
Der of passengers carried was also
obtained.

SIGHTSEEING IN THE NATIONS
CAPITAL
by Rosetta Dorothy Rands

Soft Blossoms, like tiny fiuffs OF
snow, fling fairy girdle around
the dark green water. The Cherry
Trees are blooming at Washington
Tidal Basin.
Dispute the very worst attempts
of the weather man they are here,
and so are the crowds! Almost any
time of day, gay groups of sight
seers can be found strolling under
the trees. Special tours are arranged.
A telegraph office, rugged up In a
trailer, is standing conviently near.
The Basin is an irregularly shap-
ed inlet of the Potomac River, the
water gliding slowly in and out
under two graceful concrete bridges.
At one side stands the partly COM
pleted Jefferson Memorial. The tap
ering shaft of Washington Momu-
ment is also visible across the water.
Artistic diveways wind their ways
around the Basin, and intertwine
with bride paths, upon which one
often sees riding academy horses
and the gay, young lassies of Wash
|'ington society.
The Cherry Tress are ranged
along the Basin, some standing back
from the edge, while others hang
far over the water. Dark green
holly trees form background for
some, while the budding leaves of
other trees are seen among others.
The blossoms range in color from
white to brilliant, though delicate,
pink.
The unusually severe winter de-
layed the annual Cherry Blossom
festival for a week, and then blast
of freezing air, with some sleet and
snow, swept over Washington. But
the Cherry TREES proved that they
were able to take it,.
