Entered at the Mountain View Post-

From the fourteenth to the
eighteenth of January there is
to be held in Chicago, the great-
est exh bition of road machin-
ery, materials and methods ev-
er staged in the history of road
making.
It is difficult to estimate the
importance of such a great ex-
position, either from the stand-
point of the road builder or the
road buyer. The intimate
contact thus made possible be-
tween maker of machinery and
maker of material can’ not but
aid both to do better work.The
bringing together of so many
different ways of road making
must be of incalculable value
to the road buyer; the county
and state engineer, the road
supervisor and the taxpayer.
But perhaps the greatest ben-
efit f.om this mutual contact of
the forces which are behind the
good roads is in laying before
the country, the magnitude of
the effort involved and showing
forth to the world what prog-
ress has been made in the hard
surface highway idea.
Twenty years ago, before the
automobile was more than a
| toy, the road idea was dead.
“We didn’t need roads. The
| roads we had were good enough.
To spend money for roads was
foolish. The railroads gave all
the transportation necessary.
Roads were merely an expense,
; a luxury, not an asset 1” Such
arguments wrere common. No
road builders were to be found,
and there was no road building
industry. Today there are
thousands of engineers, hun-
dreds of firms making hard road
building machinery and pro-
ducts for hard road making,and
there is not a state uninterest-
ed in modern highways, not a
county which isn’t talking good
roads, not a farmer who doesn’t
realize the need of them.
This great road exposition is
a reflection of the times, and
the sentiment which is behind
roads; hard roads, the sort of
roads which minimize the haul-
io" cost and give the maximum
of speed and int *rcommunica-
tion.
