, PUtars Development of Country Mutt
. Begin WHh Improved Highway
r to Relieve Congestion. s
j There ore today some 2,."00.iK" milt's
of rum! rouds iu Uie United states. Of
tills niuouut perhaps 12 per cent could
be classUicd us Improved, while only
alout one-fourth of one per cent ran
be said to be suitable lur the curi'lue
at heavy-duty motortrucVs. And la the
foce tf thla condition It ran foe said
Vtlkont chance of contradiction that
the future development of the United
State resta opon the roads.
The post few yeurs have witnessed
a tremendous turnover in tranKirto.
tion from the railway to the highway,
aioe Hoy I). Chaplu, turner chutrinan
of the highways transport committee
of the council of national defense.
The congestion which prevailed durinit
tho war made necessary the cominer-
I
rial utilisation of the highway to na I
extent thought impossible a scant few '
years ago. . J
Tlie motortruck, little known be-1
fore the war, sprang Into prominence ;
as a commercially practical form of I
trnnsiKirtatlon, and while the ftlitinK
has ceased the need for the motor
truck remains with os, more iusistent
than ever before. ; ,
. Within certain limitations the
freight car of the hlghwny Is mnre
efficient than the rail carrier, and be-,
cause of It It may be taken as a per-'
manent form of transportation and one :
destined to have a Inrgc Influence on '
the movements of trade In the future. I
The hour has st.uck when the fast
moving efficient motor vehicle of coin-
merce must replace the horse and the
costly. terminal charges which prevail
upon the short-haul brunches of the
rail lines. Already the motortruck
has become a "feeder" to (he railroad :
shortly It Is destined to nld enormous-1
ly to the profitable long hauls, while I
entirely or very nearly so eliuiinutliiK
the tmproiitable spurs. i
Italirond men cenernlly recognize
the. new movement and welcome lt.:
Street rnllwny men, not so keenly
alerl to its possibilities as n feeder'to
their lines, have yet to take tlie full
est advantage of the opportunities
which- it presents.
Itut hack of the motortruck rests
the road. While the highway as such
in of little Interest to those outside of
the engineering Held, as a means for
transportation it becomes of vital im
portance to every citizen of tlie I'lilnd
States, whether lie he hi profc-sion or
trade, a minister, a merchant, a doc
tor, lllgli and low, rich and poor, tlie
toad conies into contact with all of us
ami upon Its relative enideney de
pends to a greater extent than most of
os dream tlie ultimate cost of all that
we eat, wear, have.
