The history of rood building is coexistent with the history of civilization for more then 22,00 y 'Se building of roads is, sndj slwsys has been, the moet im portant function of government!. All military, commercial and so cial expansion is dependent upon the ability to go from place to place easily and quickly. The first steps taken by the Romans after the conquest of s new provence was to connect the territory with the imperial city by means of roads. While the transport of armies and their impedimenta was per haps the first great reason for road building, it has been super- ceeded by the demands of com merce. N - The conquests of wars are oc casional and spasmodic compared with the permanent conquests of peace. Social growth comes in the wake of material prosperity, and schools, churches and other means of ethical and mental de velopment are established. All of these human advantages are dependent upon the ability of man to go from place to place as he wills and communicate with his neighbors. In the building and maintain- ance of public roads the peoples of the earth have expended more money and more labor than upon any other public improvement. They are the largest municipal asset and should be dealt with intelligently and according to their importance. In,the first period of develop ment roads were constructed to support foot and equesiriaa travelers. The traffic was light and, after efficient drainage had been provided, resilience was the pred< minent, quality sought. With the introduction of wheeled traffic began a new era in road building. I/oads increased in weight, and narrow tires cut the surface making it necessary it material $2.70 -TO— and return via ATLANTIC COAST LINE Grand Prize Automobile Races November 11 and 12 A / ' » Tickets will be on sale November 9, 10, and 11, and for trains scheduled to arrive in Savannah before noon of November 11, 1910, with final return limit to reach original starting point not later than midnight of November 15, 1910.

THE CLOTHING STORE with aoma hard substance damandad and tba question of durability became of the greatest interest and will probably remain of first importance. / ~ Durability in a road surfacing material is a matter of relative importance proportionate to the amount and the character of the traffic. A well built macadam or gravel road may prove pefectly satisfactory in soma places, while the hardest granite blocks often last but a short time along the docks of our great sea ports The cost of building a road frequently a determining factor in the kind of pavement that ia used and too little consideration is given, at times, to the amount and kind of traffic that must be provided for five or ten years in the future in the effort to econo mise on the first cost The original burden of expense is frequently and wisely distributed over a term of years by means of a bond issue, and thus a bet ter class of construction is made possible than if the entire cost had to be provided for in one annual budget Another saving is secured by building a road so durable, though perhaps of greater first cost, that the expense of maintenance is reduced or entirely eliminated for a longer or shorter term of years. There is in my mind, no par ticular reason why the present generation should be called upon to shoulder the entire burden of permanent improvements that are needed on our highways; the use and benefits of which will descend to the generation that follows us. Good roads should be built mainly by long time bond issues, and maintained by an annual tax paid in cash and expended under skilled supervision. It will not be denied by those wno are familiar with highway a {ministration, that in many lo- cilities, practically qne half o ’ the road revenues have been wasted by ill-timed and misdi rected efforts. Debt is often considered one of the worse things in the world, but in my mind there are many things worse than a debt con tracted for the improvement of the public roads. Loss of much more money than the roads would have originally cost, is worse; the disgree of having bad roads is a civilized country, is worse; stagnation of conynercial inter course, Is worse; and the result ing loss of imigration and pres tige—all these are worse than the good roads debt No matter how much money a community may have, it cannot afford to have bad roads. It has been said that poor roads belong to log cabin days and it is quite cer tain that log cabin days belong to the past Read Roman history and you learn of the great Appian Way, probably the most famous high way ever built in the world of which we have any knowledge; 960 miles long, 37 feet wide, and 3 feet thick. There is a model for us, in connection with this historical master of highways. It was bu|it~ it has lasted well. Realizing the urgent need for reform in highway construction, the U. S. government in 1806 took up this good work, and be tween this date and 1861 spent in the neighborhood of $14,000, 000. Much of this money, how ever, was unwisely spent and wasted, and since that time the government has only assisted in an educational sense. In our educational work we en deavor to arouse a vigorous, yet conservative public sentiment in favor of the betterment of pub lic roads. We try by advice and suggestion to aid in bringing about needed reforms in road legislation and administration, and to introduce by practical and instructive methods, the form of construction » and maintenance best adapted to each locality. Every improvement in methods or materials with which the Office of Public Roads becomes ac quainted is in turn given to the public to be utilized as fully as possible. Briefly summarized are educa tional work may be said to have for its objects: k First: Reforms in road laws. Second: Reforms in road ad ministration. Third; The introduction of the best methods of construction and maintenance. Fourth: Improvement in the efficiency of local road -builders. Fifth: The utilization of the moet suitable road building ma terials available. a prosper ous. happy and contented people. fa tea buOdtaf akdeet Ictton teNstkuaeAeahte food, par* asps its greatest Mia 01 use nu- Since Ha establishment have conatructed about 800 ject lesson and experiment al roads in 80 states, illustrating practically all methods of con- ftroetkm. The activities of the National government, through this office, thus reaches to every line of road improvement in its widest sense. I think that there is fio appropriation from the National treasury, which dollar for dollar, is conductive of more good and which reaches so large a proportion of our people as the sum appropriated for the main taining of this office. Our concern now, however, is not so much what has been done, as what we are going to do. Good roads and civilization go hand in hand. So closely are roads related to the life of a community that they may well be taken as an index of its ethi cal, financial and industrial con dition. The prosperity of a communi ty is in direct proportion to the condition of its roads. Show me a community with very bad roads and I will show you one with dilapidated schools, broken down farm buildings and poor churches. A people who, although they may toil from sun up to sun down, have none of the luxuries or comforts to which their labors entitle them. On the other hand, show me a community that has good roads, and 1 will show you PI * fine schools and homes, good churches, rural free delivery and telephones. The first step in securing an adequate system of highways is to sufficiently stimulate public opinion, in order that the various legislative bodies will make ap propriations commensurate with the importance of the good roads movement Systematic improve ment is very necessary for the reason that benefits frequently depend upon the relative position of a road with reference to others. For instance, a mile of improved road insolated in a net work of impassable roads would scarcel> have any effect in ad vancing land values or facilitat ing transportation. On the prin ciple that a chain is no stronger than its weakest length, the maximum load that a team can draw, is the load that it can haul up the steepest hill or through the deepest mud hole on that real. On the other hand, if a mile of improved roads represents a part of a contiuous system, the rise in market values would be imme diate. .Many thousands of dol lars have been wasted by begin ning at no where and ending at no where. Any improvement should be made to^ accomplish the greatest good to the greatest number of people. The value of a good road in a monetary sense is difficult to measure in dollars and cents. In genera] it may be said to consist in: First: A reduction in the cost of hauling. Second: An increase in the value of lands within its zone of influence. Third: Increase in productive area through the making of un cultivated lands accessible. Fourth: The substitution of the more profitable crops for the less profitable crops. Fifth: The ability of the pro ducer to market his product at a time when prices are most favor able, instead of marketing the product when the roads permit. We cannot overlook the fact that the products of the dairy, the truck farm and the fruit farm must be delivered at the markets quickly, regularly and in good condition, and that a j good road is the key note of suc- ! cess. With roads uniformly good ■ throughout the year, the products I of the farm would be delivered continuously or in accordance with the law of supply and de mands. Under present conditions in many places the products of the farm are rushed to market when the roads are good and as a, re sult, the railroads find tneir equipment inadequate to meet the demands, and by * reason of excessive supply, the demand prices sag. At other seasons of the year when roads are' impas sable, the falling off in freight shipments at country stations is frequently as high as 00 per cent The wagon road touches our welfare as individuals and as a people at every angle.
