The present year promises to be the greatest in the history of the move ment for the Improvement of the pub lic roads o f the United States, accord ing to the reports received from all parts of the country. A Joint commit tee of congress Is engaged In an Inves tigation of the feasibility of federal aid In the construction, Improvement and maintenance of public highways, and a number o f the state legislatures now In session are considering good road leg Islatlon.

This Is true uot only In the various counties, but under many of our state highway de partments. •To maintain tbe roads In good con dition year after year requires a coo sldcrable annual outlay, but this #it- lay Is Infinitely less than the loss which must fall upon tbe people event ually if they allow their roads to go to utter ruin The tiling for all advocates of good roads to do Is to urge continu ous. systematic maintenance and the setting aside every year of an amount per mile estimated hy the engineer In charge to be sufficient for the proper maintenance of the road—a course which must make for economy sud e f ficiency.” English and Scotch.
