Instead of being days of rall travel they are now only a few minutes or hours apart Between the meshes of our road network there is land the railroads will never reach direct- ly; and near the larger cit there | has come to be so great an accumuli- tion of products to be moved short distances into and out from these| cities that the rail terminals are blocked by the mass of freight. So long-haul rail transportation has been supplemented with short-haul highw tr tation. Improve- ment of the highways over which at some stage of its jourfiey from pro- ducer to consumer must move every ton of freight that the railroads carry became essential to prompt service at reduced cost. We pay less if we have improved roads than if we do not have them. There are more than 3,000,000 miles of roads in the United States, which stretch would encircle the me 100 times. Not all of th . however, is of equal impor- from the standpoint of trans- portation service. There roads of interstate importanc small in their total length, main colnciding in each with the main_ trunk lines of State system. These are the through roads, the transcontinental trails, which run etween the principal cities of the rail- whic , the Secretary acting through the United Bureau of Public Roads, the officials of the several State high- way departments have recently desig- nated certaifl roads to constitute the tem providec S riculture, for by the a 2 & conne itire United S ve at present lenigth of 171,637 miles. The greatest mileage which can be in- uded in the system, under the terms of the act, is per cent of the total mileage in the United Stat or ap- proximstely 00,000 mile: These roads ar officially known as the teral-aid highwa system—which reaches directly near every city of 5000 population or greater and is so chosen that if a zone 10 miles wide Were marked off on each side of the that compose it these zones include the homes of 90 per all the population. While the most important work of the United States Bureau of Public yads is the supervision of the roads are built co-operatively by the Government and the States rozds would cent o which Federal more recently enacted Federal v act, it performs other im- benefit to all the| people. The total expenditiure of Federal funds on roads last year was ne $80,000,000 and it has run as high $100,000,000 2 vear. As an interesting commentary ~upon the growth of the “good roads” movement, we note that the Office of Road Inquiry, which was the name by which the bureau was first known, was created in 1893 with an annual appropriation of $10.000—nearly enough to build & quarter of a mile of modern highway. No other single organization has con- tributed more of detailed technical knowledge bearing upon road build- ing. except possibly .the Ecole de Ponts et Chaussees of France. Much of the testing apparatus which is now sed the world over to measure the value of road materials was developed during the early years of the bureau’s | efforts. One of the most useful test- ing Instruments, the Page impact| machine, bears the name of the| bureau's late director. | The Federal Bureau studies for us the various systems of road manage- ment, administration and finance methods of road construction and| maintenance: tests road materials; | conducts research with its own forces solely and in co-operation with col- th highwa portant duties of Clinte of the Child Welfare Society, where children are examined regu- larly to check up on any possible physical defects in their inciptency.
