TRUCKS AIDING ROAD PLANS fLong Island Cited as Example of Prosperity 'Maintained by Effi- cient Highway System. (By WINDSOR T. WHITE, Chairman Motor Truck Committee, National Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce.) . Motor highway transportation has grown to such vast importance in the past few years and has so well dem- onstrated its value and efficiency that §t has won official public recognition in many of our states. But this activity ican develop in a sound economic Way only as good: roads: programs are de- veloped. While there ' are ‘examples where motor transportation bas suc- cepded when run {n territories that thaye undeveloped roads, they, in com- parison with the thousands of mo- tortruck routes, are practically negll- One of our greatest wastes In the ‘handling of the prime necessity, food, occurs in our present transportation methods.. Hundreds of 'millions of dol- lars are annually wasted because the present method of _transportation adapted to our present road system, is 80 .costly that it does not pay to move this food from the farm to an area of <consumption. It is said that New York state has 18,400 miles of surface highways and 79,308 miles of unimproved rural roads. ¢ the state has a much higher per- «centage of improved roads than is com- mon for the United States, they do not benefit the farmer as much as could de desired. Long Island is one of the most pros- perous agricultural areas in New York state. It is not exceptionally fertile; in fact, it may be said that it is fertile ‘because man has made it so. There are many areas in the state that are nat- qurally more productive than Long Is- 1and, but which are far less prosper- ous. If you could take a trip. over the island you would know the reason why the island farmers are famous for their product and financial inde- pendence. A well-planned, well-con- wtructed, and finely maintained &ys- tem of roads is the greatest asset the island has. Every evening one can see hundreds of motortrucks, from two to five ton capacity, rolling over these roads, bound for the New York mar- ket. Here is no 50 nor 40, nor even 10 per cent waste.
