Then, the project Is objection able because of the means' by which it is to be financed. The American Automobile association at its recent Cincinnati conventon voiced its 'opposition to this pro posal In a resolution that stated: 1 "We believe the revival of the discarded practice of financing road Improvements under the toll principle would be a step back ward and jeopardise the orderly development of our magnificent system of highways now financed most . successfully by the i states and local units of government. with federal cooperation, largely through special taxes on motor vehicles."

C, Aug. 11 -(Special) Four major com mittees of the city officials di vision of the American Road Builders association started work this week on a comprehensive in vestigation of city street construc tion, maintenance and operation methods throughout the United States. ' The objective of the com mittee is the creation of standard methods for handling all work In connection- with cHy traffic Captain H. C. .Whltehurst of Washington 'was named chairman Of a committee to study city or ganisation and administration: M. O." Eldredge, also of - Washington, heads a. committee to study traf fic : C. EL Myers. Philadelphia, will be chairman of a committee to study maintenance; and G. B. Sowers, Cleveland., will head the committee to study . design and construction. ; Captain Whltehurst Is engineer commissioner of , the District of Columbia and is president of the city officials division of the Amer ican Road Builders' association. In commenting upon the work to be undertaken by his committees. Captain Whltehurst predicted saving of over $300,000,009 per year to the cities of the United States as a result of eventual standardisation of : methods. - "It is estimated that something like $1,000,000,000 is expended annually for the operation, con structlon and maintenance ef city streets." he said. "Nearly every city has somewhat different meth ods tor administering these enor mous funds. By a thorough study of the methods now in use a series of standards may be created whereby the cost mnv be reduced by at least thirty per cent, an esti mated saving of $300,000,000 an nually." "The first reports of these com mittees will be heard at the 1929 convention and road show of the American Road Builders' associa tion," Captain Whltehurst said. "Already some lx thousand city officials have been asked to co operate In this work and the early response indicates that all are ex ceedingly anxious to assist. The convention at which these re ports will be rendered will be held in Cleveland, January 14th-18th." : and available only to buyers of PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS In answer to the widespread demand for a low-priced six of ultra-smartness, all Pontine Six body types have been made available with special sport equipment.
