Plea for Coordination of Mo
,tpr Vehicle With Other
Agencies Made
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. A d -dressing
the annual convention of
the America j Automobile Assoc
iation In session at the Rilz-Carl-ton
? hotel here.-Henry R. Trum
bower. professor of economics,'
University of Wisconsin, made a
pla for coordination of the mo
tor Tenicie otner transporta
tions agencies, and for a more in
te&sire" stadjf of the subject of
the subject f highway finance
wila a view, pl obtaining .more
uniform policies and a more equit
able distribution of highway costs
and-expenses 'among the various
classes making use of the high
ways. '!?
Pror. Trumbower is one of the
foremost highway . transportation
authorities in the country and has
made an exhaustive study of the
-economic phases of motor vehicle!
transportation ! ..
As an example of the wide diver
gence in methods of procuring
funds for highway construction
and upkeep; Prof. Trumbower re
Jcated that the range qt license
fees and gasoline taxes for a five
passenger touring car ranged
from fH in Illinois tp $52 in Ore
gon, basinK his figures on statis
tics available, from 17 states. Li
cense fees arid gasoline taxes for
motor, buses. the speaker said,
4a1iged from. $30 in New Jersey
to $1,571.41 i& Maryland.
"There ii Vipt only a wide di
vergence in the methods and bases
followed in-order to obtain reve
nues from 'motor vehicle opera
tors." said Prof. Trumbower,
"but there Is also no definite or j
tangible poljj as to . the propor
tionate amount of total highway
expenditures which should in fair
ness, and justice by borne by the
users of the highways. ,
"As I view the situation, one of
tho main reasons why this condi
tion exists is -because there are so
few fundamental facts regarding
this problem which are available
to members of a legislature and of
committee who have such matters'
la charge! i -:
only in the last few years
that state authorities have realized
the economic importance of con
ducting highway'!! affic surveys so
a to learn the thrictcr and ex
tent of highway usk.
. "The results' of such surveys as
conducted by -the U. S. uBreau of
Public Roads' m cooperation with
Mate highway departments furn
tslt a basis for 'the formation of
highway finance policies as well as
tor construction and maintenance
programs which will bring about
a more equitaJble and fairer dis
tribution of 'highway costs and ex
penses among -the various classes
composing the. public.'
In stressing the need for better
legislation. Prof. Trumbower
made it ,lear, that he wa snot
arguing that fees and tax rates
ehftuld be uniform throughout the
country, life' stated there is room
lot tvariatioh. where local condi
tions are urfetiha! and diverse but
tba such great differentials as he
had pointed- out would be hardly
expected wife re" legislation follow
ed more closely the facts in the
raae. '
Prof. Trnin bower said that one
of the problems which has re
ceived a good, deal of attention
but : no solution is that which re
lates to lu'a contribution towards
rural highway expenses which city
owned cara should, make. This
aspect of the. motor-vehicle reye
nue'prohlera U raised Immediately
when a divli(o,n of motor vehicle
revenues between rural, highways
and f city streets is suggested, the!
speaker said. i

, - In addition to increasing the
slz& of the mofoT, thesize of the
crankshaft has also been; made
larger - to achieve motor smooth
ness. The 'crankshaft will, of
course, continue to be the 7

Nash smoothness famous,
The new springs of secret alloy
steel which Nash now Introduces
will be used on the Standard Six
as well as on the Special Six and
the Advanced Six for increased
riding comfort.! Another contri
bution In this respect is the Use
of shock absorbers at the front as
standard equipment, ! ''
The Standard Six motor is now
insulated from , the frame j at all
points of contact with rubber, pro
viding a quicker operation and
saving the i motor from; road
shocks"
,Other importaut refinements
are the carburetor' heat control
valve on the Instrument board,
a new type of head lamp, a new
1-blade fan, a new stop light
switch, a heavier oil pump cover
plate, new parking lights, dew in
strument panel indirectly lighted,
new remote control door locks, a
new light control on the steering
wheel and new body hardware of
special Nash design.
As far as the Advanced Six
series is concerned, the most im
portant change is, of course, the
adoption of new lower body lines,
new body colors and a deeper ra
diator. A number of important
refinements in the interior and
under the hood have also been
made, however.
The clutch, flywheel and crank
shaft are now balanced as a unit
on a highly sensitive machine for
increased smoothness in opera
tion. Body quietness is increased by
the use of fender welt consisting
of a contoured piece of heavy fabric-covered
felt between the body
and the fenders of the car.
Springs are of the new secret pro
cess alloy steel type for increased
riding comfort.
Other refinements are: com
plete encasing of battery and tool
boxes, preventing entry of dust or
water; new friction pads on front
brake support plates preventing
rattles; new carburetor heat con
trol valve; new heat indicator on
the instrument panel; new rein
forcement of the frame for rigid
ity; new heavier and longer park
ing brake lever; new nickel steer
ing column: new improved horn
and new type of foot accelerator.
New and more beautiful body
hardware for the interior is also
adopted throughout the Advanced
Six series to match the beauty of
the new exterior colors and new
upholstery.
The improvements which have
been made in the Special Six ser
ies are very similar to those which
have been made on the Advanced
Six. The body lines are ower and
more sweeping and the wheels
are smaller. ew alloy steel
spring have been adopted.
And other refinements includ-
i tag the clutch, flywheel, and
crankshaft, the fender j welt, the
nickel steering column,' the new
accelerator, etc., are now a part
of all Special Six models.

It is not dead. It needs only the
oportunity to break out in re

"The motor ciub is a civic en

just another opportunity to em

As a suggestion to the club

an event, national headquarters

provide an outing that calls for
I a motor ride to park, playground

may enjoy themselves in the open
air and a picnic luncheon or sup
per of clean, wholesome food.
"The motorist who realizes the
.healthful pleasure that his own
children derive from such outinge
will be quick to answer the- club's
i appeal when ' he is asked to give

Bronx River Parkway Good
Example; Drivers Careless,
Crashes Few
Citing the record of the Bronx
River Parkway in Westchester
county. New York. Is evidence of
safe traffic created by modern
highway construction, the street
traffic committee f .the National
Automobile Chamber iot - Com
merce In its monthly report points
to engineering as the next forward
step in the relief of congestion.
"On this parkway 35.000 cars
passed during eleven hours on last
Memorial day without an accident
of any kind," states Alvan Ma
cau ley. chairman of the commit
tee. "This remarkable handling of
a holiday crowd under metropoli
tan conditions at the conclusion
of a week-end period in which the
element of fatigue plays a part,
is a tribute to the developing sci
ence of road building.
"One must bear in mind at the
same time that the engineer can
not take the full . load of the re
sponsibility. It is significant that
on this same roadway since it was
opened several years ago' ;103
lighting posts have been destroyed
by automobiles. Most of these
accidents were not on curves and
are attributable mainly to sheer
inattention on the part of the
driver. . .
"Our committee feels that con
stant education and vigilance, in
cluding law enforcement is a ne
cessary part of the traffic pro
gram. Fortunately, this type of
activity is being admirably done
by automobile clubs, municipal
committees, safety councils, police
departments, state highway de
partments and other agencies. The
schools have taken a foremost
part in the effort and the two na
tional conferences on street and
highway safety serve to crystalize
public opinion.
"Street construction, however,
is just beginning to meet modern
needs. While great progress has
been made on rural highways. cit
f lid metropolitan areas are still in
the early stages.
"Los Angeles, St. Louis, Detroit
and Chicago are among the cities
which are meeting these needs in
a modern way.
"The elements in the Bronx
Hiver Parkway which we believe
to have contributed most to quick
and afe operation are the follow
ing: 1. Separation of Grades
"There are very few street in
tersections on this roadway which
extends for about twenty miles
throughout the metropolitan area.
The over-passes accordingly per
mit of crossing of pedestrians and
vehicles without the hazards or
delay of trying to cross a stream
of traffic. The north and south
nu'in traffic can proceed without
danger from crosswise travel.
2: Reasonable Speed
"The greatest speed on this
parkway is 35 miles an hour,
which is observed by the majority
of the cars. While there is some
variation, the temptation to such
variation is much less in view of
the reasonable rate permitted.
The chief hazard of speed on city
streets is not merely the quick
movement of vehicles, but the
hazards of variations in rate of
sped which affect one's judgment
ot distance and the temptation to
speed up following delays. Where
the constant uninterrupted rate
of 35 miles an hour is permitted
the driver is encouraged to co
operative attitude.
3. Road Beautlflcation
"Formerly women's clubs were
the chief agencies interested in
the beautlflcation of our high
ways. In this the women have
teen much more farsighted than
the men. A row of ,shade trees
near either side of a highway is
an Incentive to leisurely and
orderly travel. The coolness which
shade affords and the attractions
of good scenery .tend to make the
motorist take time to enjoy the
area through which he is travel
ing. In the Bronx River Park
way, for example, it is' observable
that the majorlty'of cars -do not
avail themselves'of the maximum
speed, and probably the dominant
reason for this is the attractive
ness of the drive Itself
4, Width of Roadway
"The pavement in the parkway
referred to is 1 40 feet wide com

pared to ordinary road widths
which are ; often not itnore than
20 feet to 30 feet- This refers to
the? actual pavement width and
not the right of way. Wide roads
ae an essential in modern heavi
ly; traveled streets because ttt the
definite traffic purposes to- be
served. Even on a road limited
to private motor cars it is desir
able to have' a lane for the slow
automobiles in either direction
and a center lane for those who
wish td travel at the higher
speeds. ' ' .
Will Aid Kducational Kfforts
"Provision of modern highways
will be of assistance in educational
efforts because it will help to ral
! public opinion. When the driver
liiis modern roads over which to
travel and is not subjected to the
texations and fatigue of delays
the exruAC for recklessness and in
aitention will be even less than it
i- today, a larger proportion of
-he population will become active
ly interested in directing opinion
toward the minority who are re
sponsible for these violations."
