mental highway department In Wash

ington to formulate a aennue ana permanent htshwav nollcv and with au

thorlty to direct the administration of that policy. The American Association of State

Highway Officials at a recent meeung, indorsed the resolution to this effect passed by the Chamber of Commerce nf th TTnited States at Its annual con

vention In Chicago and added the statement that, "We believe the reso

lutions are Important ana necessary and should be made operative at the

earliest possiDie moment. Resolutions of the same tenor as that passed by the Chamber of Commerce were adopted at the sixth annual reinvent Inn nf th. TTnited States

Rood Roads Association at Little

Rock, Ark., and by the Highway Tiafflc Association of the state of New York. , Many Departments Interested. Need for the co-ordination of high

way requirements and th adoption of a

national policy becomes evident when vnnwn that .in different Federal

direct Interest In transportation oy highway. These are the Departments

operation of Intercity motor express

and freight lines whien neip 10 reueve railroad freight congestion, and to nostoffice and Drivate rural post and

express service that Is becoming a fac

tor in helping to solve the rood situation. There Is growing belief that It is necessary for the government to setil on a. nollcv of Immediate improve

ment of those roads that will best

serve the needs of the War Department and of commerce and render each community more nearly self-sus-taininjc on food supplies raised in the immediate surrounding country, thereby reducing rail shipments, stimulating increased production and reducing food costs.

port the appeals coming from other

sources to the government ror adoption of a Federal highway plan. Dr. I. S.

in which he said that the matter of road building and conservation was

now being studied by the department
