Road-building officials from every state in the Union are about to make an appeal to members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives to pass without delay legislation in- troduced in both houses providing for the turning over by the federal gov- ernment to the state governments of vast quantities of road-building ma- chinery now lying idle. The value of the machinery, Which includes tractors, trucks, _trailers, automobiles, motor cycles, shop ma- chinery and machine tools for rebuild- ing and repairing, amounts to mil- lions of dollars. Left Over From War. This road-building machinery, much of which has been declared as sur- plus property by the War Depart- ment, is equipment left over from the war. In some cases it is or has been deteriorating while kept in open storage, according to supporters of the legislation. In other cases, much of it has been sold at public auction, bringing low prices in such open market, they say. According to their reports, in @ sale of motor vehicles held at Jeffersonville, Ind.. by the War Department. trucks which cost $4,000 each brought as low as 335 each, and $950 each at the highest. Roadsters which cost $1,200 each brought an average of only $75 each. At the same sale one-and-a-half- ton trucks, which cost $3.500 each, brought at the lowest $26 each and at the highest $530 each. Five-and-a- half-ton trucks, which cost $5.000 each, brought at the lowest $650 each and at the highest but $1,200. Similar sales at Camp Jesup, Ga. and at Camp Normoyle, Tex., realized low prices, with motor cycles selling for an average of $12 each at Camp Jesup and for an average of 36 each at Camp Normoyle, although they cost $300 each. Light delivery trucks brought as low as $24 each, although they had cost $1,200 each. Measures in Congress. Representative Reece has intro- duced a bill in the House and Senator Phipps has introduced a bill in the Senate providing that various quan- tities of caterpillar tractors, three and five ton trucks, one-and-a-half- ton dump trucks, trailers, shop ma- chinery for repairing and_rebuilding. etc, shall be turned oyer by the War Department to the Agriculture De- partment, for distribution for road- building use, through the bureau of good roads and rural engtmeering, to the state highway departments of the various states. The National Ass State Highway Officials s legislation in the last session of Con- ation of ported similar gress, and many of these state high- way officials are expected in Washing- ton in the near future, with the sup- port of their governors and other state officials, to urge the passage of the pending legislation, according to those back of the measure. War Department reports show the following number of motor vehicles to be in possession of the Army just before the bills above referred to were introduced: Touring cars, 6,577; three- quarter-ton trucks and ambulances, 9,386; omnibus vehicles, including. cars for members of staffs, for observa- tion and reconnaissance, 1,688; small open cars of a well known make, in- COFFEE ROASTERS WHOLESALERS F o Tenth St Kafka's Admessagev " For Mothers’ Day—Saturday Mothers Have For Boys & Girls Of excellent quality crossbar muslin in flesh and white ; for girls, with elas- tic knee; for boys, with loose knee.

Large numbers of trucks storage and have been for more than two years at Buffalo, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.; Camp Jessup and Camp Gordon, 'Ga.; Camp Holabird, Md.; Columbus, Ohio; South Amboy. particularly well are in N. J.; New Cumberland, Pa.; Jeffer- sonville, Ind.; Camp Devens, Mass.; Camp Lewis, Wash.; Presidio, San ls-‘rlcnclaoo. Calif,, and Camp Jackson, Every state in the Union is asking for some of this equipment, in order to assist in carrying out road build- ing programs. The state highway commissioners and other road build- ing officials are calling attention to the fact that at a recent auction sale by the War Department for the pur- pose of disposing of surplus motor: vehicles. one manufacturer naturally purchased, as a great bargain, all of the trucks of his manufacture at that being to rehabilitate them and se! them over again. These particular trucks cost the United States government roxi- mately $4,500 each. They “o‘\'fid. of course, cost the state governments that price in the open marl new; and the state highway and other road building commissioners and engineers are hoping to ol sage of necessary legislation ich will turn some of this s‘,\umem over to the states for road building pur- saving the taxpay poses, thus money.
