HELP TO PRESERVE OUR ROADS 
‘Help to preserve our roads’’ is 
the title of a very important section 
of the report of the committee of 
summer residents who work so en- 
ergetically every year in behalf of 
better roads, the opening of wooded 
roads and the preservation and care 
of our forests. The part of the re- 
port-to which we refer is as follows: 
‘‘ All users of the highways must 
have noticed how rapidly they are 
being destroyed, and the ruts which 
are so quickly developed by fast 
automobile travel. 
“We present herewith two photo- 
graphs of oiled roads. On one’ the 
Same Road Where Ruts Were Made By Automobiles Following One Track 
travel, being around a corner, has 
to a large extent been spread over 
the entire road. The consequence is 
that the whole road surface is in 
good condition. 
‘“‘The other shows a piece of the 
same road, beyond the corner, which 
has the same travel. On this sec- 
tion, deep ruts have been formed be- 
eause automobiles and other vehi- 
cles have all traveled in one track. 
“Traveling in one track not only 
develops ruts, but on oiled roads it 
develops ridges and mounds on the 
sides because it pushes out the ma- 
terial underneath the wheel track 
unevenly, and it forms in bunches. 
These are very hard to repair. 
“If all drivers and _ operators 
would cooperate with the road 
builders to the extent of always 
keeping out of the rut or wheel 
track our roads would be in much 
better condition, and in many in- 
stances the automobile travel would 
not injure the roads at all, except at 
extremely fast rates of speed or 
when there were tremendous num- 
bers of them. 
‘‘This is true, not only of the 
roads in Beverly, but elsewhere 
throughout the State. 
‘*Keep out of the rut! 
‘‘Make your chauffeur keep out of 
the rut, and so help to preserve our 
good roads.’’

daughters have been in New York 
this week to witness the great naval 
pageant of 102 U.S. Warships in 
Hudson River. Yesterday President 
Taft reviewed the fleet with See. 
Meyer. The event has been econsid- 
ered the most notable assemblage of 
war craft in the history of the mod- 
ern American navy. Much North 
Shore interest was attached to the 
event since the U.S.S. Mayflower, 
which has been in Beverly Farms 
harbor all the season, served as See. 
Meyer’s flagship. The warships, 
whieh have visited Rockport, Glou- 
cester, Beverly and Salem harbors
