It ban long been a matter of specu
In I Ion If the natural resources of equu
(orlul Africa were worth development
and the expense and lubor required to
export theui, the New York 8uu observes.
The earuvuu trade across the
Suhara to Mediterranean ports re\ealed
a great supply of Ivory and
tropical products, and natlvea and
travelers reported liiimeuse reservoirs
of raw material. The explorations of
Livingstone and Stanley, however,
gave the world the first estimate of
the uctuul \nliie of the resources of
equatorial Africa.
The breaking out of the World war
caused temporary abandonment of
many European pluns for the opening
up of central Africa. Some of these
plans have been revived within the
last year. The British have built a
railway from the east coast to aid
the export of colion from the newly
developed Fgitmlu cot ion fields. They
liuvfe also built several links in the
Cape to Cairo railroad in the central
African lake legion. On the western
coast the Belgians have constructed
roads of 200 or :a? miles In length
from their Atlantic ports Into tiie interior.
One of these, the railway to
Brazzaville on the Congo river, the
French liuve been using.
The French found, however, that the
Belgian trafllc lias grown to such an
extent that they were no longer able
to depend upon tills smull railway.
Their plan Is to build a road from the
head of navigation on the Congo eastward,
with brunch lines tapping the
principal sources of native supplies.
This road will place the development
of the Congo region practically for the
first time on a commercial basis. It is
u pioneer venture, but at the same
time It is a nuttnul outcome of con
ditlons. With the present demand for
tropical materials the world is not
likely to let tills greatest source of
supply remain undeveloped.

MANY ROADS lit II.I'
Mitre Than Billion and II alt - Dollar*
Spent in Nation.
Nfcw Yoik, June 6? More than a bil_
lien and a half dollars was spent in
the United States for road building
and maintenance during the fiscal
year ended in June 11)25 according to
j a study just completed by the Natioj
nal Industrial Conference board.
Whereas less than 20 years ago expenditures
for roif[ building were
still a m-glible item in governmental
finance, uur present annual board bill
amounts to more than one-sixth of
the entire public budget, and is expected
otiiy by our government ex
penditures for education and protection.
The development of the country's
roads during the past quarter century
closely reflects the revolution in the
field of transporation brought about
by the automobile and its rapidly extended
adoption as a means of carrying
goods as well as passengers.
About 1,000,000 miles of highways
huvy been built since 1004, when the
total roadway milege in the United
States amounted to 2,151,371), only a
small proportion of which was surfaced,
traffic consisting principally of
short, distance market hauling and a
few venturesome bicycles.
During the next five years less than
50,000 additional miles of roadway
were built, but between I'JOO and 1014
the advent of the automobile made itself
felt, 250,000 miles of new roads
being added. In the next seven years
although they include Che war years
when the state and local government
budget were held down to the minimum,
500,000 miles of new roads were
added.
Perhaps more striking than the increase
in total miHjjjge of roadways
during this period was the change in
the character of' the *iew roads, influenced
primarily by the automobile
traffic. Winding, often ungraded and
rutted, albeit picturesque roads have
rapidly been giving way to hard surfaced,
wide and straight highways
particularly during the past few
year's. While in 1904, only slightly
over 7 per cent of the total roadway
mileage was graded and surfaced,
and slightly over 10 per cent by 1914,
more than 17 per cent of the much
increased total mileage was graded
and surfaced in 1925.
The immense volume of long distance
motor traffic that has developed
during the past ten years, however,
also 1ms increased the necessity for a
\vc*U linkfd highway system, connect-1
irig important centres and fed by the!
smaller market roads radiating from
local centres into surrounding rural 1
territory. It is this phase of highway '
development which has caused marked!
changes in the control and financing
of road building and maintenance,
shifting the burden gradually from
the local governments to the state,
and to an extent, even to the Federal
government.
While in 1904 more than 1M5 percent
or nearly all of the current highway,
revenue, which then amounted to only
$75,965,995, was raised by local gov- j
ernment, who also floated all of the
highway bonds issued at that time,
the state government in 1925 had become
so active in the field of highway
building and maintenance that they
raised more than 37 per cent of all
highway revenue, while the local governments
raised only little over half
of the total.
The Federal government meanwhile
had interested itself ttTThe extent of
contributing about 10 per cent of the
total. Nearly half or 49.5 per cent
of all highway bonds floated in 1925
were issuer! by state governments.
While the figures cited summarize
the development of roadbu'.lding in
the United States as a whole, wide
variations in the development in different
states and sections of the
country are revealed by the hoard's
report. The vast change in transportation
methods and road utilization
caused by long distance automo|
bi|e traffic is again strikingly rcI
fleeted in the great stimulus given
I to highway construction in the more
sparsely settled mountain and Western
states during the past few years,
I while the more densely populated
| Eastern states, already well supplied
with roads, have concentrated more
on improving many older roads made
j obsolete by the more systematicallylinked
modern highway system demanded
in this age of the automobile.
Elimination of steep grades and
[dangerous curves and railroad crossings
is a moBt important part of the
highway improvements.
