The scheme consists of the classifi cation of all main and secondary roads In Great Britain, together with a properly organized and uniform sys tem of sign posting. Roads will bear distinctive numbers, ao thatthei trav eler need only ascertain ther official number of the road, say, from Nor wich to; Birmingham, to be- able to travel from one town to thef other without a map. The experiments conducted under in structions of the ministry of transport to determine the most suitable mate rial for a uniform road dressing, have been successful, and a standard sur face has been practically selected. For the present this surface will be ap plied only to the arterial, and not to the secondary; roads.' By January 1 the new national road scheme will be in readiness to be put Into-1 tirimedlate operations Daily Mall London. Encourage Producers.

In view of the fact that 50 per cent Increase In hauling capacity gives a reduction of 15 per cent In transportation costs, the latter seems the wisest thing to do.
