On request of the counties the commission also offers advice with respect to the 

 disposition of any special road problem that confronts the local officials, the organi- 

 zation of the commission being developed with an idea of placing at the disposal of 

 the county officials men of such judgment and experience that their advice may be 

 relied upon. 



While it may appear that the local road feature has been given more con- 

 sideration than that of state highway improvement, the commission has taken the 

 position that the system of state highways is composed of units which in themselves 

 are important local roads, all connecting towns and local trade centers. Therefore 

 the policy of improving a system of main local roads provides for the betterment 

 of the system as a whole; and tourists, at least lor the period of the war, can 

 conveniently make use of those highways that are of primary local importance.
