GOV, PLANS GREAT ROAD IMPROVERENT In Next 15 Years Will Construct 180,000 Miles Nov, 8, — A program for good roads construction during the next 15 or 20 years which will make the road trunsportation faelll- tles of the United States far exceed those of any other nation, in the world, past or present, s the aim of the federal government. The high- ways of Rome, even, whose fame has come down through the centuries, will pale by comparison, officials de- clare. Under the ‘program, there will be bullt, during the period, 180,000 miles of improved highways, which will constitute the federal-ald high- way system, and an equal or greater mlleage of state and local roads. Conference On Plans Detalls of this vast program will be placed hefore the conference of the highway education board, meeting Washington, San e == gineers of tomorrow wham the board especlally is seeking to have educat. ed in practical and modern methods, PERSHING STATUE WILL BE UNVEILED Will Be Gift to City of San Francisco and Will Be Eight Feot High-— Bronze on Granite Pedestal, Ban Francisco, Nov, 3.—~On Arm- istice Day, November 11, a herdle statute of General Pershing, pictur- ing him as it watching troops in bat- tle, will be unvelled in the Golden Gate park here, The statute 1s a gift to the city of Francisco by Dr. Morris Herz- It was done| Halg stein, a local physielan, by an old friend of the doc! | Patigan, noted Han Franclsco seulp- tor Eight feet in height, the figure Is} of gllt bronze and stands on a ped. cstal of silver granite, The pedesta) is five feet high. It presents the gen- eral in fleld uniform, standing square. ly and looking forward, beth fuce and figure animated with the expression of alertness and energy. On the face of the pedestal is the) inscription: “In tribute to General Pershing and the victorlous armies of the United States and her co-bellig- erents during the world war, 1014. 1018, Presented by Dr, Morrls Herz. ateip, 1922." Dr. Hersstein concelved the idea of, the statute after he had heard from General Pershing himself the story of the American expeditionary force and saw with his own eyes the flelds) where that force had won imperish- able glory, The doctor toured thé battle flelds with Representative Jullus Kahn of San Francisco imme- dlately after the armistice and spent some time as the guest of General Pershing. Patigan has worked on the statue for more than two years, and, at the request of the doctor, has kept the plans a secret, iy PAY, 3 L5 G v [} ot NO DICTATION BUT In Selection of Hart here from October 26 to 28, by state highway engineers and officlals of the bureau of public roads, of the United Btates department of agriculture, to whom has been entrusted ‘the work of planning and supervising the con- struction of the federal-aid high- ways, The plan will be presented especial- ly to enable the board to proceed au- thoritively with its work of devising alds for schools and colleges to which .the road-buflders of the country are turning for competent highway en- gineers. ¥ Officlals of the bureau place the aggregate cost of the federal-ald pro- gram alone at about $8,000,000,000, spread over the period. 'Bhey base their estimate on an average cost of $17,000 pér mile. The average cost, in turn, takes into consideration all classes of improved highways from the cheapest to the most expensive. Approximately one-third of the pro- pesed system, or 60,000 miles of im- proved highways, already are either built or building. New Program The program is a new one. Up to comparatively, recent years, the bureau declares, road buildings in%the United States has been conducted without special regard to a national system. Highways had been con- structed where needed without 'con- sidering whether they would link up in the most effective fashion with the whole network of roads projected to spread over the entire country. En- gineers had sought more.to meet im- mediate and local demands than the broader requirements of the states . and the nation. The federal-aid program, officials said, will contemplate the construc- tion of only such roads as fit into the national program and contribute to the national system. At the same time the roads will be so selected as to|; serve the most important local ré-- quirements. With marked mpdifica- tions the system adopted in building the railways of the country will be borne in mind in the construction of the nation’s new ‘highways. There will be main lines of highway com- munjcation bétweén cenfets and thousands.of milés of feeder roads, reaching back into the more sparsely | settled regions and into the rich agri- culture sections, to tap areas whose peopulation and product will flow over the new system. New roads will be built—thousands of miles of them where they will fit in most advantageously with/ the en- tire program. The bureau at pres- ent is enggged in research work in- to the most efficlent methods of road 2 ¥ AT A e R e Newark Shoes for Women, in All the Latest Styles, wearing power of materials and re- % $3.50 to $5.00 . sisting qualities of various substances and has already amasséd a great % M S‘fims‘m& Ca store of valuable information which ‘Live Laigedt Chan of Shoe Stores in the United Sl.iss.
