Science Editor, NEA Service
Highway engineering haB reach
ed the point of building roads to
suit automobiles, in addition to
traffic. . . ' .'
Not only are they being made
w?der with enough room left for
additional widening with the in
crease of traffic, but they are be
ing built to make driving easier
and more economical. -
Thus the higher taxes we pay
for our roads will bring us savings
in the operation of our' motor
cars. -
This point is brought out by
Prof. T. R. Agg of the highway
engineering division of Iowa State
College at a meeting of the So
' clety of Automotive Engineers. :
Prof. Agg points out that high
type road surfaces; cause much
less wear on tires 'than, the low
or intermediate types, and that
surfaces of the loose angular stone
are particularly harmful to tires.
He figures that the most economi
cal road grade is one that will per
mit the vehicle to ascend in. high
' geui at the most efficient engine
speed and to descend without the
use of brakes or attaining exces
sive speed.
Leveling Roads Pays
Therefore, the . idea is modern
highway engineering is to cut
down or encircle steep land, rath
er than build over it. It costs more,
but it comes back in the form of
revenue from Increased travel. .
Every foot of distance saved, In
the construction of a heavy traf
flc road. Justifies the expenditure
of SCO at least, says'. Prof. Agg, so
that heavy grading or other
penses are permissible where the
traffic the road will bear repays
- it. -.
When it comes to traffic in large
; cities .the movement now is , to-
v nriiMi diverting through tourists
' rather than directing them straight
through town. Whatever Business

by the old method Is canceiea oy

One of the first cities to con
template this new system is Los
Angeles. This city is planning the

"distributor boulevard" , encircling

ting through traffic to' avoid -the
congested streets and providing
at the same time more, adequate
entrance to the business" area
from all directions. ..-.
The circular highway will be
about 90 miles long and will cost
about S5,00u',000. But the city be
lieves the project well, worth the

Rapid City is the gateway to this
wonderful region. This Is reached
most directly by the Custer Bat

No. 10. .
There are several other open
ings into the Black' Hilts, district.
The Victory highway, the Lincoln
highway, the Yellowstone Trail,
and any of the other northern
cross-country routes take the mo
torist across to U. S. highway Nn.

Denver and Chevenne and into the
heart of the Black Hills.
Good Roads Throughout .

There is a game preserve com

Free For Campers
The completod highways in the
Black Hills are marvels of engi

State Lodge, where the president

Throughout the park; there are

saw 3,280,000 carloads of automo
biles and auto equipment shipped
by rail.
