"More attention has got to be paid
to the earth foads if the coming bond
elections are to go over." This Js the
opinion of E. L. Stevens, inventor and
road expert. Mr. Stevens is,, perhaps,
one of the most unique characters in
the road-building world. A graduate
civil engineer, he felt the tremendous
need for the perfection and develop
ment of the road system of America.
He stepped out from the promising
channels of the regular engineering
profession and went down almost -below
the level of ordinary men to study
road building, says Rocky Mountain
News. , He has made road building and
maintenance his life work and is now,
probably, as well qualified as any "man

to tell, the methods for the proper up
building of the nation's highway sys
tem. '
For a number of years Mr. Stevens
has been highway commissioner for
the Estes Park highway. This piece
of road work in itself is a testimony
to his ideals. He is also the inventor
of the Stevens improved road drag,
one of the simplest and most efficient
road machines on the American mar
ket. "
Mr. Stevens believes in concrete
highways and ; prepared boulevards,
but he also believes that the earth
road, which comprises more than 80
per cent of the country's highways, is
of no less importance. - "A concrete
highway isn't going to do a farmer
much good if he has got to haul his
load three miles through hub-deep mud
before he gets to It," is Mr. Stevens'
attitude. "
The farmer is the man who is going
to pay for most of the country roads.
and although concrete roads are need
ed where the trafilc is sufficiently
heavy the earth roads that feed the
concrete road must be kept up.
As an inventor of road machinery.
a road engineer, a road supervisor and
a road worker for his practicalities
and the life dream of better roads as
his idealism, Mr. Stevens is ably qual
ified to Judge highway problems.
