WHERE TO SPEND HIGHWAY FUNDS

Washington, D. C. An educational campaign on where to spend highway money rather than where to get it has been launched by the American Association of State Highway Officials.

This step, according to W. C. Markham, executive secretary of the Association, has been made advisable by the efforts of those who are clamoring for second and third class road improvement without realizing that our present policy of completing state systems first is leading steadily and logically toward the goal they seek.

This is being done through two results which come from placing substantial surfaces on main routes first and where traffic is heaviest. The first result of this policy is to hold road repair costs down to a minimum, and the second result comes from lessened cost of fuel in automotive vehicle operation. Both of these results provide savings in main route operation which in turn may be applied to the improvement of sceondary and third-class roads. While this statement may be a repetition of known facts, it cannot be repeated with too much emphasis.

"The plans under which we are working" Mr. Markham states, "did not just happen. It took exactly eighteen years of hard-fought legislation, beginning with the Post Road Inquiry of 1912, followed by long debates and the passage of amendments running through ten Congresses, to get where we are now."

Government experts say you can buy more with a dollar now than you could this time last year, and what we hope is that they are now at work on a bulletin telling where to get the dollar.
