The
PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
French System Beit in the
World.
It is a curious fact that Napoleon laid
the foundations in France of the institu­
tion that for the past fifteen years has
saved France from industrial decadence,
and that is to day of more interest in
the United Stat»-« than perhaps any other
French institution. This is the system
of national loads,
which Napoleon
founded, which is the most perfect in
the world, which made France the
headquai ters of the automobile industry
of the world, which keeps tens of
thousands of rich foreigners in France
at all times to enjoy the pleasures of
touring, and which is the model on
which the roads of the United States
can be developed and perfected.
Compared with the Ohl World, in ho
other phase is America so crude as in its
country roads. Recently some investi
Rations have been made of the French
road laws and system on behalf of the
Riviera of America—Southern Cali­
fornia—an<l as a result the demands of
automobilinls in the California health
resort country may bring about im­
provements ot the road laws of the
Golden Slate that will place them in
line with the most enlightened highway
code in the world. If this result should
come to pa>s, it presently will be dis­
covered by Californians that their con­
cession to the automobilist was of vastly
greater value in its effect on internal
industry. Good roads are among the
asssets of any community, and the
American state which first secures them
in a systematic way will derive benefits
which it will never fully appreciate.

along with the water, and very evenly,
and the whole is rolled down until the
tire of a loaded wagon will make no
track. Then the road is finished, save
for the requirements that it must season
for fifteen days before being opened for
travel. This is a description of a crush­
ed stone surface. Where other materials
must be used they are provided for in the
French scheme—burned clay, gravel, etc.
There is a plan for every material aud
every region.

Besides the 24,000 miles of national
roads, France has 316,000 miles of lo­
cal highways, not so good, but yet so
good that people from all the rest of the
world wonder at their loveliness. These
are under the local administration, but
the state retains a supervisory relation.
