Highways Bureau Points Out Errors of Past Road Laws From the passage of the first high way law at Jamestown in 1632 down to this hour, the whole course of high way progress is strewn, in a figuratiY c sense, with the debris of impractical ideas, according to the American High way Educational Bureau, of Washin gton, D. C. No sooner was one illu sion dispelled than another showed up, unt i~ by and by the first illusion was hack again, clothed in its customary habili ments of false logic. Experiment!', legislative and otherwise, have cost th e taxpayers of this country a prett y penny, and it is not amiss to he o n guard against the deceptive phra ses in highway educational work whi ch tend toward wasteful and alt ogeth er impractical highway investme nt s. One illusion which has been laid lo w many times in state and national legi slative debate on highway matters dur ing the past twelve years, again threatens to show up, and will re sult only in confusion in the public mind as t o what constitutes true highwaY pr6grc..·ss. Thi s illusion is cloaked a s he for c in the mi sleading phrase of '"farm ~n market" roads and carries with it an in1plicatio n that the farm er' s interests ar c not being taken care of pro perly. that he is being left in th e mud , whik roads are being built elsewhere, de spit e the fact that every road i. a farm t o mark et road , r egardles;s of wh eth e r construction starts at the f arm e r' s gat e o r at th e more logical po int whu c tonnage begin s to converge and in crease on the way to his tra ding p (l int. It is his road and his neighb o r 's road all the way. The phrase is demagogic in thl' extreme, whether its aim be po litical or otherwise. That any plan which ha s ·for its main objective the securing 0i Federal Aid on back roads is impossible of practical fulfillment at th e present state in road building, may be seen readily from a glance at the ha ck road. The impossibility of the practical ful fillment of a plan of this kind is readily seen when the details are given sufficient study. Iri the first place, there ar e approximately 1,270,000 miles of mail route roads. If $225,000,000 should be appropriated to cover a three year period as has been proposed in Congress with the aim of creating a secondary Federal Aid zone in road build ing, the amount which might thus be made available for back roads would not approximate over $320 per mile ptr year, taking Federal Aid and the state's share together. The per mile fund so provided would be less than the annual per mile main tenance cost on the type of road which so limited a fund would be able to buy. And this does not take into consideration the fact that in appropriating Federal funds for highways, it is required that the money must b~ s_ pent under Federal and state superviskm .. which naturally would entail additional expense on the part of Federal and "tate governments. so " that the moncv referred to could not all be expende(l on the hi~hway. · : .
