J'or Candy )v the I Voplo States of the United I'nion county wijli a propoiu'il tx pomliliiru oT $400,000 for paving is one of olO stains, counties, townships and municipalities announced within the past week u.s conteinplatinK high way Improvement to a grand total of $17!i,:i7,:t5!).6. More than $1,000,000,000 is nva li able for koihI roads and si reets in the I'niled Slales. This sum, larse as It is. represents an increase over the highway revenues of 1!14 of' on ly about ISO per cent, while high way traffic has increased 4S0 per cenl. There are now 2,5immhio miles )f highways in the I'nited States, of which only an approximate loa.MOO miles are iinpt o ed with modern pavoinenlH. When coinpared-lo sums expended for luxuries by the pleasure-loving public the American high way budget does not look so Im pressive. The people of this country spend $1,000,000,000 n year for candy, $:t.- ."iOO.ouo.noo ror automobiles, $1,000, HOO.onO for automobile tires, $1.- 275,00.000 for gasoline, $l.fn0t000,-j 000, for carpels and rugs, ll.fifiM,- 1000,000 for cigars, cigarettes, tobac co and snuff, and $1.G50.000,ihh for jewelry, perfume and rosniet ics. On the other hand the sums spent for ro:ids and streets are seven times greater than those expended for wa ter supply Improvement, litres Mmcf. those for sewerage work and fifteen times those for bridges. In connection willi the road-building program public officials are cast ing about to find the types of pave ment best sailed to I heir purpose i ml best calculated to save money to the tax-payers and those who tise 'he highways. It now costs from l2iMMMi to f fo otio a mile, to con struct modem paved highwaj. de fending on the dimensions the lavement, the kind of material used and the local conditions encountered such as labor costs and sub-soil con1 Jiditinns. Naturally the purpose of i , t lie highway officials Is lo get the ijhe.st for the least expenditure, cou- airitont wilh durability ami service. fletler Itonils l-'ewer Tires. "It is liii-h lime, "says M. O. Kld ridge, director of roads, American Automobile Assoc fat ion, "to pay more attention to ihe effect of the various road surfaces on motor ve hicles instead of considering only the damage by ihe motor vehirle lo the road, Compatc, for instance, ' the smooth resilience of Fifth Avenue. New York (paved wilh sheet asphalt) with the rough, gritty and flinty sur faces o often encountered on coun try roads, and try to imagine what a tidy sum in tire bills would be saved tf we could all travel on avenue sur faces. The saving in tire coils alone would pay the difference in conslruc ,tion costs hi many instances." hn-lless High nays I Tho rapidity wilh which Ihe Am erican peoplo are tur ning to dust less highways is shown In figures recent -ly compiled by Highway Information Ser Ice, New York City.
