FRENCH PAtROL'OTEM
f we need an object lesson In the
Importance of road maintenance, we
have only to turn our eye toward
France, which Kan livo'lved- -the finest
ystem o keeiitug MP -roiW In exist
ence!, The French rttnlnteimnce ya
tem wa Installed by the first Napol
eon, whoe unerring mind realized to
Ih full the importance of good road,
always In good comL'Hon. The French
aystem embod.1 a-Corp of patrolmen,
working constantly on Hie .national
road. These men have earn- given
length of road ohder .their care, about
four mile to the man. Know one I
reponible for the condition of hi dls-
trlct at all time. They cover their
dlttrlct every tlsv. . The patrolman
drive over th road .'n a wa-wheeled
cart, carrying a vupply" of mending
materials, sufficient for any ordinary
break. Bvery altghtest hole In the'Kiir.
face la patched a noon a It appear.
It serious trouble arises from any
oaue the patrolman' riot I fie hi In
spector and. the repair gang conn- to
the rescue.
. In France the olg of highway pa
trolrrian are usually given to veterans
who have retired, from army service.
The pay 1 not large.' but the patrol
man gel a house with a plot of
ground, th whole constituting an
honorable livelihood, y
'' Wight it" nor"bT"pTiwn(Vo"Tor" us to
follow a ilmllar lino of operation. We
have sotie million of veteran of our
armies. Many thoUHanda OT them will
be glad to secure a permanent! mean
of livelihood, especially 'la the open
Hr.
It mnf not be without profit to ex
amine briefly the coat of such a na
tional highway maintenance eyntern.
Suppose our hard surfaced highway
system eventually comprlws 300,000
mile. A patrolman with a small mo
tor car to carry hi tool and materi
al could handle ten mile of road, go
ing over hi dlxtrlt, every ' day and
making any needed repairs. A force
of 10,000 patrolmen would cover the
entire road system. If we placed the
wages of these men at 11000 per an
num, our total expenditure would be
130,000,000. If we double thl sum to
Include the cost of running a car, sup
plying materials, etc., we have a to
tal of l0, 000.000, not at all a dispro
port'nate expenditure when we con
S'der the return. W spent more than
thl every year in making extensive re
pairs and doing rebuilding that th pa
trol' system, would obviate. It might
even be possible to furnish the high
way patrolnati with .1 cottage and
garden plot, after the French custom,
and make th Job attractive to men
with famlllt .
The weakest link In our American
system of Improved highways 1 It
method of maintenance. We shall
never achieve real progress In good
road development until we remedy
this condition, say Alexander John
son In Motor. ' ,
It is th present habit among road
milder In thl country to lay down a
hard aurfaced road and then leave It
trustingly in the hand of Providence.
This bespeak a bland and childlike
habit of thought which 1 Inspiring,
hut unhappily it I costing the coun
try a good many hundred of million
of doUar In premature repair expense
and needles rebuilding cost. No oth
er product of man's constructional
genius la subject to quite aa many
viclsltudes of wear asid exposure a
the highway surface. Millions of ve
nicies of varying weight are passing
over the road surface every year. Inj
Mtdition it la subject to conntant attack
by the- elements, rain, snow, sun, cold
and heat. All sre free to do their
worst. And they Hike full advantage
cf their license. The total cost of re
pair and rebuilding operations thereby
made necessary would stagger not hu
inanity, but the taxpaylng section
thereof. If a patrolman Is constantly
watching any given strip of highwsy
and on the first sign of a break gives
first aid or summon the repair gang
to -"o a somewhat more ambitious Job,
there will lie no pot-holes to develop
Into great gashes that necessitate re
building. It is tho old saying of the
"stitch in time." Any one of our really
effective road surface will last for
year enough to make an adequate re
turn on the money Invested In It, If it
I given proper attention. If the "If"
could be eliminated there would tie no
more stories of highway built from
the proceed of bond Issues and re
built long before the amortisation of
the original bonds. .And that Is pre
cisely the sort of financial wlld-cattlng
that makes good roads progress difficult.
Is one of the five necessities of life,"
said a prominent business men of
Pendleton recently and one who is In
terested In the automobile as a fac
tor In the development of the country.
''We require food, fuel, clothing,
shelter and transportation. Without
transportation, the other necessities
could not be distributed.
-
"Transportation moves the seed to
the farms and the crops away. It
move food and clothing to merchanla'
stores and distributes them among the
people who need them. It moves nm-tcrl-i'e
tor. building purposes. .
"Wkhouf transportation our cities
would wither and die; people would
starve. Without transportation, the
farmer would have to learn how to
make his own clothing. '
'"Without transportation there
would be no progress."
"And foremost 'of the transportation
mediums of the present and future
stands the automobile.
"It stands foremost because It gives
every man the advantage of directing
to tho best market the commodity he
sells, whether it be a product of the
soil or factory, or man's own labor.
''It stands foremost because It Is
closer 'to .the needs of the Individual
than any other means of', efficient
transportation ever has been.
"With these Indisputable facts be
fore us. .'t Is difficult to understand
how any man can sea anything but
great success for the automobile business."'
