On the face of it, th e r e m ig h t be som e re a so n s for so doing, in o r d e r to build fee d er ro a d s from a g r ic u ltu r e are a» in the m a r k e t places. Thfcre m ig h t be some justifica tio n , in th e light of th e s ta te h ighw ay d e p a r t m e n t s plans to c o n t r i b u te to th e im p ro v e m e n t of heavily trave lle d s tr e e ts of some cities, to collect a backlog of funds for a f a r -re a c h in g d e ve lopm e nt of roads t h r o u g h o u t the state. But, first of all, w h a t will th e sta te do w ith th e s u rp lu s it now h a s ? And how does it propose to pro sec u te this fa r-r e a c h in g plan of road Im p ro v e m ent? First* of all, in an y h ig h w ay plan, th e re is the re q u ir e m e n t of funds. T hen, to a d i m n is t e r these funds, th e re m usb be a n e n g in e e rin g force of such p ro p o rtio n s as to get the w o rk done. B ut all of th e se r e q u ir e m e n ts a r e to no avail unless, b ehind every h ig h w ay develop m e n t plan, th e re is a c h a r te d goal w hich will prom ise to b ring th e g r e a te s t ben e fits to the g r e a te s t n u m b e r of citizens who, th r o u g h g a s ta x an d otherw ise, pay t h e bill. T h e r e a r e two kinds of roads, of course. One p rim a rily se rve s th e w o rk a d a y t a s k s the t r a n s p o r ti n g of goods from one spot to a n o t h e r travel from home to w ork; trip s for sh o p p in g reasons. T h e o th e r sort of road is for pleasure a n d rec re atio n . H ig h speed th o r o u g h fa r e s , for instance, t h a t avoid r e g u la r lanes of tr a f f ic a n d brin g the m otorist m ore quickly to a r e a s of rec re atio n . T h e r e is the Justification for both types of highw ays. B u t fro m a prac tica l sense, th e w o ik a d a y roads should first be im proved .then a t te n t io n should be tu r n e d to the rec re atio n al.

Still, the engineering skill of the s ta te has been c o n c e n t r a te d on th e laying of a “su p e r h ig h w a y “- S u n set by n a m e —w hich will be one str a ig h t route to the beach, for the r e c re a tio n a l p le asu re of th e state. Anyone who h a s fought his way to the beach over a w eek-end or holiday will recognise the a d v a n ta g e s to com e from th is c o m p le te d highw ay. Yet, it seem s a s h a m e f u l m isap p licatio n of fu n d s a n d effo rt whan, every day of th e y ea r, the T u a l a tin h ig h w a y for h o u r s a t a tim e is travelled b u m p e r to b u m p e r by users in w o rk a d a y t r a n s portation.
