NCOURAGE o all sides in the-i efforts to improve the condition of the highways of C New York State and to secure I is soon as possjIle the legislation t aecessary to accomplish this end, the zood roads advocates who assenbled t for their fourth annual convention at .ibany have reason to be satisfied v %vith their work. Through intelligent t iiscussion, based on experience and C )bservation, and p'erseverance along N oractical and common sense lines. they r hiave sucetedied in gaining thlesuipprt s >f well nigh n!! good and influential d -itizens in this State. The delegates to this year's conven- a tion lost no time in formulating their o views and putting them in the shape of s a request to the Legislature. The na- t ture of this request. as it ippears in g the resolutions passed by the conven- s tion, will be.as follows: First, that the v State shall appropriate $2,000,000 as its 1 share of the cost of constructing roads this year, toward which the various counties have already appropriated a similar amount: and, secondly. that the t Legislature shall take the necessary a steps to create a bond issue of $50,000,- 1 000, to be devoted to road building a within this State. It is proposed that t: the responsibility for the payment of v these bonds, if issued, shall be divided g thus: Fifty per cent. shall be paid by t, the State. thirty-five per cent. by the a counties benefited and fifteen per cent. f by the towns, as provided by the Hig- e bie-Armstrong act. The convention also recomme.ds that b a State "wide-tire law'' be assed to. 6 protect roads generally from the In- b jury (lone by narrow-tired vehicles, n and also that the erection of signboards n where they are needed shall be made fl compulsory-by law. e The good roads men point out that s with the $2,000,000 asked *or from the c State for immediate use, together with b the $2,000,000 appropriated by the coun ties, the work of building approximate- t ly 500 miles of highways, for which su- a pervisors in the State have petitioned. [ may be begun at once. It is urged that this amount is absolutely necessary in order to carry out the present plans of constrirction. 'ud, furthermore, it is believed to be fairly commensurate F withi the annual increase in the States 5 appropriations for road making which I hl- taken place since 1S99. The efforts of New York's highway 1z advocates have been greatly stimu- i lated during the past few months by v the enthusiasm manifested and the y progress made by their contemporaries A elsewhere in the United States. The ?: activity referred to has not been con- x fined to any one section of the country; 2 It has been general. The Eastern t< States wherein it has been most notice- N able, however, are Massachusetts, a Rthode Island. Connecticut, Pennsylva- si nia and New .ersey. It was shown , only a short time ago that since the ti good roads movement was started in is earnest in New Jersey the value of tU that State's taxable property has in- , t creased $27,000,000, and this increase 11 has been found to be due largely to y Improved highway facilities. Thstances t were cited where new roads had been & the means of attracting wealth to the ir extent of many millions of dollars. y What Is true of New Jersey Is un- :i doubtedly true, also, of other States a which have spent money judiciously 1. for highway improvements. s The thanks of the public for the ex- ~ cellent results which have been a achieved along the line indicated are :1 due, primarily, to the large number of a, good roads organizations in this coun- .. try which have labored industriously a to further their purpose. Among them s must be counted the various automo bile clubs, whose members have spared neither money nor influence in seeking *to expedite this important work. The Automc bile Club of America and the American Automobile Association have y: been especially zealous in their endeav- it ors to secure first-class and permanent 04 highways, not only in the East, but a throughout the Union. At the annual h meeting the other day of the last. s named body its retiring President. Mr. ei W. E. Scarritt, emphasized the need. t< on the part of the association, of con tinuing these efforts. He said: "We should see to It that the shame ful waste of the public moneys inu building our so-called 'highways' should cease. The United States Government h has shown by carefully prepared sta tistics that the loss on account of oura poor roads woduld within three years rebuild in the most substantial man ner every highway in the United States. Surely, here is a field of en. deavor full of promise. Most of the 0 highways in our country to-day are dis- e~ graceful to our boasted1 civilization.
