A * A A A Permanent roads are a not an expense The High Cost of Postponing Permanent Highway Building Poor motor roads stifle industry and agriculture, waste huge sums annually in high maintenance costs, and greatly increase gasoline, tire and repair bills. There is not a state, not a county, not a community, that isn’t paying a heavy price lor having too few permanent roads. C There are still many sections of the country — even whole states — that are trying to operate twentieth century traffic over nineteenth century roads. This is costing millions of dollars every • year, and will keep on costing millions until w e have well developed permanent highway systems everywhere. Even what we often call the more progressive communities are far behind the demands of modern highway traffic u with its 16,OCX),000 motor vehicles. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to Mexico, we need more Concrete roads—the roads for twentieth century traffic. Your highway officials want to be of the greatest possible service to you. Get behind them with ways and means that will provide more Concrete roads and streets.
