THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER, INB.

A. G LUPTON

As a farmer and banker, reprsenting the state bankers’ association, the farmer organizations and the Hoosier State Automobile Association, of which he is president, A. G. Lupton, _of Hartford City, is firm in the.. conviction that Indiana should have an excellent system of main market highways, that the way to get it is to create a State Highway department that will get the benefit of the tedera aid. Mr. Lupton says it is not to the credit of Indiana that she stands with but two other states that have not created a highway department.

NEW JERSEY FOR GOOD ROADS

Voters Authorize Bond Issue of Seven Million Dollars for Improvement of Highways. By a majority of about 81,000, voters of New Jersey on November 7 approved the issuance of $7,000,000 of State bonds under what is known as the' Egan AcC. The principal and interest of tne bonds are to-be paid from the motor vehicle license fees, registration fees, fines and penalties. If these are not sufficient, the balance necesspry to meet the payments on the bonds is to be taken from the general fund of the State. ... The Egan bill also creates a highway commission to carry out the work, and defines thirteen routes traversing all of the counties of the State except Cape May and Hudson. The commission is to consist of the governor, the president of the State senate, the speaker of the house, the State road commissioner, and the chairmen of the committees of highways of the senate and of the house. - The act provides that the paving on the highway system shall be of granite, asphalt or wood blocks, brick, concrete, bituminous concrete, asphalt, or other pavement having hard serface and of a durable character. The width of the pavement is to be at least 18 feet.

If a State Highway Department is established it means that Indiana will receive her share f federal aid, amounting to $2,109,000.

MILLIONS FOR BETTER ROADS

Surn of 885,000,000 of Federal Funds Made Available for Construction" of Country Highway#, 'T ’ ‘ By the passage of the federal aid road bid the government of the United States has put itself in the way to reap great benefits. According to the new law, the sum of $85,OOQ.OOO of federal funds is, made available for the construction of country roads. Of this amount $75,000,000 is to be expended for the construction of rural post roads under co-operative arrangements with the highway departments of the various sti.tes and~slo,ooo,ooo is to be used in deVteloping roads and trails within or partly within the national forests. will be able to share in this appropriation to the extent, of 109,00(1 whenshe creates a highway department to superintend the building of a correct system of main market roads. Such a bill is to be a" feature of the legislative work at this session of the legislature and the big business and educational forces of the state are back of the bill. The commission is to be non-partisan. and under the promise of Governor James P. Goodrich to be made, up of the very biggest and most capable men in the statex Speaking of the wisdom of the state taking advantage of the federal aid in the building of her roads, George E. Martin, assistant professor of highway in Purdue university, says, in a Purdue bulletin. “Federal aid for road building is now a fact. The federal government will «ot treat with anything but a state. Some form of state organization is necessary to obtain that aid. “Indiana has long stood as a conspecuous example of extreme local control in road matters. Her laws have been drawn to give the people of the smallest subdivision of her territory the greatest latitude in the selection pf the roads to be improved and the methods to be used for their improvement. The results have been good in the past. Indiana can well be proud of her system of local roads reaching practically all of her people. Conditions are rapidly changing. Roads which were entirely satisfactory ten years ago are now inadequate to carry the traffic which comes upon them. Road building is speedily advancing ' from rule of thumb methods to its proper place as one of the engineering sciences. It is no longer possible for every man to be a good road builder. To build roads to meet present conditions requires extensive training and experience. It is not possible for the small subdivisions to obtain men qualified 4o design and construct these modern highways.”
