NO. 51 GOOD ROADS AND PREPAREDNESS State and Government Aid Ad vocated For Highways. THE NATION'S ARTERIES. A. O. Batohelder Saya That the Coun* try Must Hava a Maximum Oppor * tunlty for the Maximum Transport of Man and Munitiona by Means of the Motorcar and Roads. Boada of Amerk-a may moan tbe very existence of tbe nation, accord ing to A. O. noteholder, chairman of tbe executive lioard of tbe American Automobile association. Roods that' go somewhere, arteries of communica tion that bind the nationa together, roads aervlng to the fullest extent com mercial and social and possibly mili tary needa—these are tbe highways new demanded and obtainable by that logical federal co-operation with the aeveral state* which haa been accentu ated by the facta aet concisely forth In the atnpendoua European conflict, ac cording to Mr. Batchelder. The chair man points to the fact that In exactly the same manner a* It became neces aary that the statea should help their county units In the construction of comprehensive road ayitema it la now eaaential that the national government shan lend aid to Its state parts In the early realisation of a road plan that will la the greatest degree weld to gether coaat and coast and lakes aad golf. Mr. Batchelder aays that the country must have a maximum opportunity for the maximum transport of men and munitions, and tbe motorcar and the roads are tbe means for Its accomplish ment. Thirty thousand miles of road would gridiron tbe entire United Bastes with Interconnecting and interlocking highways and would embrace every stats In the Union, giving each one a big main artery for highway travel, according to Batchelder, wbo believe* that four direct east and west roads from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with ons "Y" from tbe great lakes to the Pacific coaat along the northern bor der, five north and sooth roads—bor der to border—end three prominent dl agonala for Important Interconnections would be Included In thla total mile age. At fIO.OOO per mile Mr. Batchel der eatlmaies that thla would mean a road requirement of $300,000,000. Thla SIO,OOO per mile la based on an average of extremes from low coat be cause of topography and nearby ma terial to Ugh coat per mile because of cootra-cooditlona, and the figures also Include btldKes and culverts. At the present population and the normal In cresae during tbe pqgpd of ten years this would mean an equated payment of 81 cents per "Inhabitant per yesr. Mr. Batchelder (tolnta to tbe fact that a state which does not 'provide lntec stats road connection with adjoin las states is plainly at a disadvantage aad says tbat a road brings commen surate value for the expenditure sad Is available to thoss living In ths terri tory traversed, aa well as those wbo come from a distance He believes* that the commonwealth ahould build arterlee of communication and the wants of ths largest number ot people Just as It Is done bytne rail roads.

At a meeting of its executive board , tha American Automobile asapctstioa went on record as favoring fsoeral aid la a good roe da measure which haa been drafted by tbe executive commit tee of the American Assodstloa of Stats Highway Officials.

It arsias to be gfaefally recognised that aay bill which tbe congress of tbs United States win pass Is likely to In elude a requisite that a state ahaD tost establish a highway department la or der to have a centralised direction to construction and maintenance of rnaifc Just alx of the forty-eight states have yet to establish highway depart ments. Georgia. Sooth Carolina.
