NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Autos Injure the Best Roads 
The State Board of Highway Com- 
missioners which has in hand the 
supervision of automobiles in the 
state, has left it to the governor to 
recommend that chauffeurs shall pass 
a practical examination or test before 
obtaining a license to operate a ma- 
chine in this state. The report of this 
board is now in the hands of the state 
printer, but is not expected to appear 
in print for some little time to come. 
It bears no reference to this phase of 
the matter. It does, however, devote 
considerable space to the subject of 
the wear of state highways occasioned 
by the rapid traveling automobile, es- 
pecially on curves and at corners. It 
explains how the upper surface of the 
read is worn away, and that often 
times the smaller stone which forms 
the next layer of the up-to-date 
macadam highway is often sucked out 
of its bed by the rubber tire of the 
heavy touring car, and allowed to re- 
main on the surface where subsequent 
teams grind it down and further in- 
jure a well built highway. 
The commissioners say they have 
looked into the matter very carefully, 
and have been helped a great deal in 
their investigation by the summer resi- 
dent touring colony of the Berkshires 
of the North Shore, and the promi- 
nent automobilists of the metropolitan 
district. Many of these people have 
told about the different systems of 
building highways in foreign countries 
over which they have run their ma- 
13 
chines, and explain how some of these 
Continental roads have tar as one of 
the ingredients of their construction, 
It is apparent, the board says, that 
there must be a change in method of 
the construction of state highways, 
as it must be realized by all that the 
automobile is no temporary creature. 
Regarding the subject of the speed 
of automobiles, the board voices the 
opinion that the present law is ample 
if it is wisely enforced. The trouble 
is, however, they say, that there is no 
uniformity in this matter of enforce- 
ment. Some cities and towns make 
no attempt, but it is a matter of com- 
mon knowledge that certain persons 
often drive recklessly. Other commu- 
nities make an honest attempt to have 
the law enforced, and are generally 
more or less successful. 
The annihilator of distance is very 
rarely apprehended. He keeps in the 
highways that he knows and has posi- 
tive information of where the “traps ” 
are located. Accordingly, therefore, 
the board make no recommendation 
for any change in the law regarding 
the rate of speed at which automobiles 
shall be operated over the highways of 
the state.
