The promoters of the project to build 1 mrirnilleeut boulevard from the At lantic to the I'nvlrle ocean are actively, at work ou the undertaking, and plans have beeu well luld to obtain the co operation of congress In making the scheme a big success. The advocates of the plan wish to get from congress an appropriation large enough to have the. Immense project well Bturtea, says the Washington Star, and every ntnte through which the highway will pass will be expected to contribute its quota to the final cost. A nominal toll will lirobnbly be charged all vehicles using tho roadway, tho proceeds being used to defray repair cxpenaea, but the fed eral government will be the custodian of the highway. In speaking of the proposed undertaking recently G. Rus sell Donne, who Is in Washington In behalf of the project, enld: "It is proposed to grade and macad am a broad hlghwny from New York city to San Francisco. The success of tho government's boulevard would prove to bo thn Impetus to states to connect their principal cities and towns with It by feeders, and In a compurn tlvcly short tlmo this country would have a system of roads that would .eclipse anything on enrth. "In this age of development alone nil Hues the roads of the country have been criminally neglected. We have nothing that could be called a road connecting the east with tho west, and It Is one of tho earnest needs of the times. With the development of the automobile It will he but n short time before the farmer will move his crop to the main line of transportation by this power, mid with u continental boulevard and Its feeders almost nt bis door he will see the value of Ids land Increase with every yenr. " . "Every Ktnte should bo given charge of that section of tho boulevard that passes through It and made accounta blc to the federal government for the cure of It us well us the receipts from tolls and cxetidtturo8."
