Government Determined to
See That Roads Are Built
Well and Where
Needed.
Washington, Oct. 6. Elaborate
plans to prevent , . the; diversion into
improper, channels of any part of the
$75,00y)0() which the Federal gov
ernment is to spend in cooperation
with States on god roads within the
with States on good roads within the
Logan Waller Page, director of the
Office of Public Power and Rural En
gineering which will supervise the
work.
The government is determined, of
ficials say, that there shall be no
repetition of the lax methods and
waste which have characterized the
building of roads in many sections
and that a dollar's worth of roadbed
shall be constructed for every dollar
spent. Further, the Public Roads
office is preparing to see to it that
the roads for which tne government
money is spent are places where the
traffic demand is the heaviest and
not where politicians or others de
sire them.
The plans designed to prevent
abuses are covered largely in rules
and regulations promulgated by Sec
retary Houston, of . the Department
of Agriculture, under authority con
ferred by the Federal Aid Road Act.
The rules, which outline the methods
by which the Federal governtaent
shall aid the States in the construe-
tion of highways, provide that detail-!
ed information in reference to the
proposedonstruction and mainten
ance shall be furnished to the Secre
tary of Agriculture before any agree
ments are made.
When the plans of a State for road
building, accompanied by a request
I for Federal aid are received, they
will be fully investigated by gov
ernment agents, and if acceptable the
State will receive from the govern
ment its apportionment of ,the appro
priation made for the purpose. Un
der the terms of the act the Federal
government pays the bill for one-half
the cost and the State pays the other
half. More than a score of States al
ready have indicated their intention
to ask for" Federal aid and two, Cali
fornia and Conecticut, have filed for
mal applications
Project statements made to the
department, according to the rules
and regulations, are required to con
tain "all information necessary to en
able the secretary to ascertain (a)
whether the project conforms to the
uations, every one of which is new.j
will kep you in anoproar for a full
half hour.
MARGUERITE CLARK TOMORROW
It is very ea.sy for those who have
seen Marguerite Clark on the screen
in her previous Famous Players pro
ductions to imagine her teasing her
indulgent grandmother, ordering her
small brother around the house, keep
ing a : whole family agog by her im
pudent refusal to stay home, finally
running away from home with her
diminutive. brotJaer ,and commandeer
ing a freight train in order to reach
the city where" she intends to search
for - a position.
These are some, of the things which
she does in the Famous Players-Paramount
adaptation of -Eleanor Hallo
wel Abbott's celebrated story and
book, "Molly Make-Believe," in which
she is to star at the Royal tomorrow,
in a return date' by request.
"Molly Make-Believe" created a
sensation when it first appeared in
one o't the big i National magazines
and has ever since been one of the
most popular gift-bocks, at- all times
of the . year- Those who have read
the story will appreciate at once that
Marguerite Clark is ideally suited to
play the ToJe ;of the delightful little

fio Riihmitted for the annrovar of the J
secretary copies of the forms of con-1
tract ; ' together with all documents re
ferred to therein and the contractor's
bond. ,
Each project statement also must
be , accompanied by , a ,sketch map
showing the location bi vne proposed
project and the main contiguous
transportation features, and suitable
samples of material must be, sub?
mitted whenever requested. Where
any part of the cost of a project is
to be furnished bv subdivisions' of a
State, certified copies; of resolutions
or orders respecting the funds must
be submitted.
Rights of way and damages to ad-i
joining property have to be paid for
by the States, and the Federal gov
ernment will not pay any part of the
expense of making surveys, plans,
specifications or estimates prior to
the beginning of construction.
The regulation require, too, that
no part of the Federal money be paid
until it has been shown to the satis
faction of the secretary that adequate
means were employed prior to the be
ginning of the construction to insure
I economical and practical expendi
ture. Prior to the acceptance of any
bid, sufficient opportunity must be
given the Office of Public Roads to
have a representative present if it so
desires.
If a contract should be awarded to
any other than the lowest responsible j
bidder, the government will not payi
more than its pro rata of the lowest
bid, unless it cap be satisfactorily
shown that it was advantageous to
the work to accept th6 higher bid.
Copies of all contracts must be certi-
fied Dy tne respective state highway
departments and furnished the Office
of Public Roads, and specifications
and plans must be made a part of all
contracts.
Unless otherwise specified in writ
ing by the Secretary of Agriculture,
materials for construction, prior to
use, must be tested for conformity
with specifications.
Certified vouchers showing the
amounts expended upon any project
and the amount claimed to be due
from the Federal government must
be submitted upon the completion of
the work, or, if the Secretary of Ag
riculture has determined- to make
payments as construction progresses,
at intervals 'of not less than one
month.
The Office of Public Roads will, as
have the roads of one State connect
with those of another. The effort
will be to have the roads continuous
in the States, and patches here and J
patches there will not be constructed ;
out of any of the Federal money
unless they should be in localities
where the traffic is heavy and the de
mand great. For instance, in some
cases plans for roads branching out
from market or industrial centers to
thickly populated sections would bo
acceptable to the government regard
less of whether they connect wtih
other market or industrial centers.

It is with pleasure that I announce
my connection with the Sterchi-Ban-croft
