Highway traffic, in the United
States has .Increased so rapidly in
the last few years that some of
the statistics which have been, col
lected seem hardly believable. For
example, it was announced recently-
during thej summer months a
volume; of ; traffic . amounting to
300.000,000 passenger miles per
day , was carried . by. the highways
of, the. country. ; Inasmuch as the
railroads f ol ItheQ United States
handled a ' volume oV traffic a
mounting Co 600,000,000 passeri-
I ger miles per year, the Importance
of th highway in- national .aevein
opment can hardly - be overesti
mated. ?

which has' been: in. existence for a
number of years, new roads, are
being built in every section of the
country -which are ? paid through
the cooperation of the United Bur
eau of Public Roads with the var
ious rstate highway departments.
At the present session of congress,
it is probable.; that $80,000,000
will be. appropriated for -Federal
Aid ; during .192 6. This money
will, of course, be. distributed a

" In every part . of the country
roads are being built and there
Is hardly a state whch is hot en
gaged in some' notable highway
project.1 The state of New Jersey
is building' a "new- bridge' across
the Rarltan river which will cost
nearly $4,000,000 and which; will
handle traffic on a,' busy day , a
m pants to nearly 18,000 vehicles
per day ' This bridge has been
designated ' by the legislature as
the "Victory bridge. In Utah the
state j Is "building with the Assis
tance of Federal; Aid .a, highway
across the Great Salt Lake Desert
known as the Wendover Road. An

F Many others are big highway
projects, such as the Pacific High
way in California, and the , new
bridge over the Savannah river
which will make a new route to
the south, also being put through.
One after another, the weak links
in the country's chain of highways
are being strengthened.

thoroughly discussed. The Road
'Show will be held in the Coliseum
