DUST FROM TAR ROADS KILLS TREES ON HISTORIC DRIVEWAY French Scientist Find* That Bitumen Pavement la to B? Preferred. Unless the present system of tarring the roadways in the avenues of tin* Hols. Paris. Franco, Is promptly dis continued there will soon he no trees left at all, according to an announce ment recently made. it is olllclally stated that since the roadway has been tarred to minimize the dust the number of dead trees which have had to be replaced by new ones has multiplied by four. .Moreover, the young trees which have been plant ed are unable to flourish, owing to the poisoning of the soil, and rapidly per Isk. Although a grant of $0,000' was re cetltly made by parliament for the planting of new trees in the Avenue du Hols. Le Porestier has not yet touched the money, asserting that un til some new method is introduced such an expenditure would he throwing the money Into the gutter. Conditions are the same throughout the more frequented roads, which arc treated with pitch, and there is a strong feeling on the part of the public that no time should he lost in radically (hanging the present method und in suring that no further damage shall he done to the vegetation of the historic park. in supporr of his agitation I.e Forest ier points out that a commission, ap pointed some time ago to Inquire into the matter, has already reported that not only are all the ornamental plants and Mowers seriously affected by the tar dust strewn on them from the wheels of passing vehicles, but also that their leaves tlrst show spots resembling burns and then drop off. Among the trees two species, the yew and the plane, seem to resist the effect a little better than the others, but even with these Hnal destruction Is only a matter of a short time. The commission recommends that the roads of the Hols be covered with small paving stones or bitumen Instead of tar. BETTER ROADS IN MIDWLoT. Michigan T.ikes Forward Steps?South Yot Far Behind. States of the east, middle west and far west are doing the most toward building good roads, according to the records of the good roads committee of the American Automobile associa tion. The prairie and Rocky mountain states and the south are waking up. but have not accomplished much In their present legislative sessions. New York leads all the states with bor new $50.000.000 bond Issue. Pennsylvania comes next, with Massachusetts, Now Jersey and Connecticut following. Michigan is the lender among the states of the mhldlo west. Wayne county, In which is Detroit, plans to hulhl soon more of the concrete roads which have been the wonder of the automobile world In recent years. Indiana has made the greatest ad vance of any state In rescinding a law which made the building of the very best roads lmposslhle. The old law limited the kinds of roads that could be built to two. macadam and gravel The law passed tit the 1913 session of the Hoosler legislature removes this limitation and permits the building of any kind of roads the people may choose. The unit of option is the county, as In Michigan. Illinois and Ohio also Have adopted progressive good roads legislation this spring. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa are moving forward, though not so rapidly as the central states. On tho Pacific coast California has done wonders, many of the counties voting tho good roads bonds authorized by the legislature. Washington nnd Ore gon, though in n much more primitive condition, are beginning to follow Cal ifornia's lead. The south Is most backward of all. Most of the south ern states have taken only the rudi mentary steps toward road Improve ment. TO EXHIBIT MODEL ROADS. Government Will Carry Its Shows to Panama-Pacific Exposition. Arrangements are to be mndo by the United States department of agricul ture, through Logan Waller Page, di rector of tho office of public roads, to place on exhibition at the Panama-Pa cific exposition in 1015 the greatest col lection of road models ever displayed In any part of the world. The models will furnish exact duplicates of the old Roman roads, French roads and all of the various typos of modern roads, together with miniature models of road machinery operated by electricity. As a result of the Instruction fur nished by these road models, many farmers have joined forces to improve their own highways, and tho road building movement has had a grent Impetus. When application for expert advlco concerning any special road problem Is made to the department tho ofllce of public roads furnishes It with out exacting any fees.
