Cor. SoHIER ON Roaps 
Col. Wm. D. Sohier of Beverly, 
one of the Mass. Highway commis- 
sion, was one of the speakers Tues- 
day at the third American Road Con- 
gress at Detroit. His subject was 
“The Recent International Road 
Congress in London, and Observa- 
tions of French and English Road 
Systems.” 
“We can learn a great deal from 
the English in the matter of mainten- 
ance,” said Col. Sohier. “With'a 
total of over 50,000 miles of road in 
England and Wales, they classify as 
main roads 27,800 miles. The aver- 
age cost of maintenance of these 
27,800 miles of road is $475 a mile a 
year. Ninety-five miles of road in 
England are maintained by the local 
authorities; they are called rural 
roads. Even on these roads the 
average amount spent for mainten- 
ance per mile a year is $115. 
“T was informed that they never 
close the road in England or France 
for resurfacing. They repair one 
half of the road only. 
“Most important of all the English 
roads are constantly maintained. In 
Massachusetts we find we can main- 
tain our oil and tar surfaces most 
economically by having a team and

from six to eight or even ten miles

“Tf we are to secure good roads 
we must all join hands, the town, the 
city, the county, the state, and possi- 
bly the nation also, but it must be 
upon a carefully prepared plan made 
by competent engineers, after a full 
study of the whole problem.”

“Did the recent drought hurt you — 
farmers much?” 
“T should say it did,” answered Mr. — 
Corntossel. “We used to make a 
heap o’.money haulin’ out automobiles — 
that got stalded. While that drought 
was on we couldn’t afford to haul wa- —

holes.”—Washington Star,
