What the Division of Highway Planning is Going to Undertake
Atlanta, Jan. 10. — On Geor-
gia’ij man behind the wheel
and the information he ig sup¬
plying as to his driving habits
rc8 ts a large extent the future
planning of highway construe
tion in the state.
In the eyes of the State high
wav Board’s Division of High¬
way planning, which is con¬
ducting a painstaking survey
t»t Georgia’s road and traffic
conditions, in co-operation
with the TJ.S Bureau of Public
Roads, the motorist is a mark
ed man, whether he drives a
passenger car, a truck or bus.
But he need have no fear, as
the peace time army of eng¬
ineers, recorders, weighers, |
and interviewers is no law en¬
forcement unit. It is waging a
light for intelligent planning
of the highways of the future
and the sole weapons it em¬
ploys are factual statistics.
“Through the passage in 19-
31 of the Hayden-Cartwright
Act,” said W.L. Miller Chair¬
man of the Highway Board,
today, “which sets aside one
and one half per cent of feder¬
al highway funds for the use
of Statewide Highway Plan¬
ning Surveys, Congress made
it possible to bring to an end
the present system of ‘intelle-
gent guessing’ as to where,
what type, what class of road
should be built, how many
miles of highways can be main
-tained, how to build highways
with proper regard to curva¬
ture, grades, sight distances
and traffic needs.
The demand for adequate
so-called farm- t o -in a r k e t
roads, heard so insistently in
Georgia in recent years, can¬
not be complied with until
statistics gathered by the
Highway Planning Survey
show which roads leading into
the truck state highways are
carrying a heavy load of traf-
ficnowand which roads would

stores, stadia, resorts, airports,
mills and mines within sight
of the roads. Complication of
these figures will reveal which j
roads are thickly populated
and which serve few residents,
In the traffic census, which
also is well under way, studies
are being made at carefully
chosen points all over the state
to check movement of traffic*
over the state highway system
as well as on rural roads. A re¬
cord will be made of the total
number of all types of vehicles
moving in both direct
ion, day and night. Trucks
and busses not only will be
tabulated, but will be weighed
and measured, and the weights
j and characters of their loads
>
and the origins and destina
tions of their loads determin¬
ed.
The third major deparl-
; meat of the highway study,
the financial surveys, will de-
1 terminc, through a study *»f
carrv a heavy load if they were
re-located and improved.
The planning survey consists
of three main studies - inven¬
tory of all public roads in the
state, a complete census of the
motor traffic using the roads,
and a survey of the finances
of all units of government in
the state.
The road inventory, in which
considerable progress has been
made will determine not only
all road mileage in the state
accurately (and probably for
the first time), but the road
mileage’s pliysicul condition
and its division into the vari¬
ous classes of roads. Every
county road in every county
w ill be surveyed and aim from irum
these surveys a county map
will be drawn with a complete
record of all surfaces, curves,
grades, grade crossings and
bridges. A record also will be
made of all houses, churches,
schools, hotels, tourist camps,

ed is expected to map the
course of highway progress in
Georgia for at least the next
two decades. I want to urge
every citizen in the state to
give every possible co-operat-
iou to the planning survey’s
work, as the motorists are, af¬
ter all, the principal benefici¬
aries of any person which
seeks to put highway building
and maintenance on a sound
and an intelligent basis.
Similar surveys are under
way in 45 other states, with
the federal government bear¬
ing approximately 80 per cent
of the eost.

f- Amusement Zone
Of New York Fair
Biggest in History
NEW YORK (Special)—An amuse¬
ment zone designed to accommodate at
one time the entire population of cities
the size of Akron, Atlanta, Birmingham,
Dallas, Denver or St. Paul will greet the
millions of visitors to the New York
World’s Fair 1939, Grover A. Whalen,
president of the Fair corporation, an¬
nounces.
By far the largest entertainment struc¬
ture ever constructed, it will contain
enough shows, devices, restaurants, vil¬
lages, shaded rest spots, secondary streets
and plazas to handle more than 250,000
fun-seekers.
One huge theater-restaurant alone will
have seats for 5,000. Another music audi¬
torium will seat 2,500. An amphitheater
to contain huge crowds will be built by
the state of New York at a cost of $1,600,-
000; erected at the head of one of the
lakes it will be the scene of operas, aqua¬
tic exhibitions, pageants and other ex¬
travaganzas.
The visitor to the Fair will walk about
two miles merely to pass through the
amusement section which will be laid out
in the form of an oval loop with no “dead
end” streets.
The 280-acre tract will be divided into
at least thirteen villages or zones and
every concession will conform in design
and atmosphere to the particular zone in
which it is located.
An example will be the “Little Old
Now York” village, where the theater
will be a replica of the famous old Park
theater, the principal cafe will duplicate
Steve Brodie’s saloon and the attendants
will dress in character. All architecture
will be attuned to that picturesque pe¬
riod. Admission to the zones will be free.,
