Special Washington Letter !
WHEN Maurice O. Kldridge was
uctlng director of the olllce of
public rouu inquiries for the
lcpartnieot of agriculture be made a
atudy of the history of highway con
struction lu our republic, and the re
mit of his research were given to-day,
Jq brief, for the Information of the
readers of this newspaper.
The sentiment expressed by Mr. EI
2ridge will meet with general approval:
"If our first settlors had arrived when
the Roman empire was at the zenith
f Its g'.ory, our republic would now
b bound together with a perfect sys
tem of magnificently constructed
lighways." True, the Romans were
food road builders, the first and the
greatest of whom we have history.
The expansion of that empire made
fnoi roads as necessary as soldiers and
statesmen. The mighty legions of
Koine required good roads for troops
and impedimenta; also for couriers,
civil and military. The cavalry and
chariots, the big catapults, the am
munition wagons and supply wagons
were heavier than those used by mod
ern armies. Moreover, Home was a
trafficker, and as Industrious in sprend
5nr her commerce as the Yankee na
tion of this present day; and good
roads were necessary for commerce.
But Rome was declining when this
continent was discovered and settled.
The immigrants came from Kuglnnd
and France mostly, countries which
still used road systems Inherited from
the dark and illiterate ages. Naturally
our first settlers knew nothinir of road
Imnding, for they had received no In
struction to that end.
For more than a century after the
settlement at Plymouth Kock no ef
forts were systematically made to pre
tnre roads over which passengers or
supplies could be safely transported.
Each individual blazed his way, as did
the Indians before them. They clung
close to seashore and streams, thereby
maintaining personal and commercial

there was, there could have been no
concerted systematic attempt at good
road building. Indeed it may be said
that full four centuries elapsed before
tlie government undertook this work
Jor tne whole country.
It was not until 1S11 that a great
American road was surveyed by com
netent engineers, and that is now
toown as the "Old York road," be
cause It connects New York and rhil
delphia. Thus you see that the rcvo
lutionary war was fought by armies
Tahich traveled helter skelter without
grood roads and sometimes with only
Iidian trails from point to point, now
they ever managed to keep their regi
ments and brigades in alignment is a
Mrale to modern military minds. And
not only the revolutionary war, but the
war of 1812 was fought by armies sim
ilarly handicapped by crude and prim
itive means of transportation.
Sailroad building to-day is not so ex
rxasive as good road making was In
' v l those days, when money was scarce
ana property oi lnnnueiy less vniur.
It was a great undertaking tobuild the
Jtd York road, and was intensely Inter
esting to the people of that generation,
s was the building of railroads across
( i; ,1 At prairies known as "the great Amer
ican desert," and over the pathless
fiocky mountains 40 years ago and less.
The hlstorv of roads, including rail-
roads, is the history of civilization.
This is true of the whole jworld, as it
is In our country.
' As an example of how our colonial
; J leaders were slowly feeling their way
, i this subject, here is an extract from
' I a letter written November 30, 1785, by
"jCeorge Washington to Gov. Patrick
'.Henry of Virginia:
. 4 "Do you not think, my dear sir, that the
"credit, the savtnif and convenience of this
eoontry all require that our great roads
' trading from one place to another should
: fea straightened, shortened and establlehed
5 jr law, and the power In the county courts
' ) alter them be withdrawn? To me these
' talags seem Indispensably necessary, and
' ti Is my opinion that they will take place
A time."
, Does it not seem strange that the
, ;f great Washington knew so little of
Rood roads? lie was reaching out into
j'tfca dark, for he knew not exactly what.
jXe entertained the opinion that the
awaking of good roads "will take place
time." lie was right; but it was a
sL-Hery long- time after he had studied
rlt&t subject and many years after he
i rtras dead, tor be bad been in his grave
) i years when the Old York road
'was taken under serious consideration-
! The peopl in the states where no
, -fbad tax is paid by the farmers, who
!?i,rk out" tbelr share on the roads,
will be Interested in the following
opinion of Washington In the same
letter! "Repairs by contract would be
less burthensome. In this case the
contractor would meet with no favor;
every man In the district would give
Information of neglects; whereas neg
ligence under the present system Is
winked at by tHe only people who
know the pnrtleulnrs or can inform
agnlnst the overseers." If Washington
had been writing nbmit farmers in Illi
nois, Iowa and other prairie states he
could not have hit the nail on the head
any harder than that.
The first turnpike rnnd built by cor
porate interests was the Wilderness
turnpike, from the Shenandoah valley,
Virginia, over the Allegheny moun
tains at Cumberland flap, to central
Kentucky. This road had toll gates
1
MUDKKN HOAD MAKING.
(Preparing (Jovrrnment Sample Koad at
Hot Springs, Va.).
TO miles upart, where tolls of two dol
lars were collected from every travel
er. The next good road constructed
was the Lancaster and l'hiladelpliia
turnpike, which is until this day an
excellent work on the macadam plan.
In 1H()(! the government had received
over $000. two from the sale of public
lands in Ohio, and the congress appro
priated $110,0(10 for the beginning of the
construction of the Cumberland road,
from Cumberland, Md., to Wheeling,
Va. This was the first national high
way. It was well macadamized, the
rivers and creeks were spanned by
stone bridges and toll houses were sup
plied with strong iron gates. Henry
Clay was the chief advocate of this
ROAD, SUMMEKVILLE, PA.
work, and there is a monument et
Wheeling commemorating his services.
The doctrine of "state sovereignty,"
which played such an important part
in all national legislation prior to 1801,
operated against further appropria
tions for national highways, President
Monroe having vetoed a large appro
priation bill for this purpose, on March
13, 1817. It is a singular fact that
John C. Calhoun, chief champion of the
doctrine of 'state sovereignty, had
spoken and voted for that appropria
tion. Rut instead of votingmoney out
of the national treasury for highways,
the different states were allowed cer
tain percentages from the sales of pub
lic lands for the purpose of building
roads and levees. The Cumberland roud
received annual appropriations until
1822, when President Monroe inter
posed a Teto. In 1830, on similar
grounds. President Jackson vetoed an
act authorizing a government sub
scription to stock in a turnpike com
pany. On the Fourth of July, 1828, ground
was broken for the beginning of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, the cere
mony being performed under the direc
tion of Charles Carroll, of Currollton,
the then only surviving signer of the
declaration of independence. This
beginning of railroad construction by
the "state sovereignty" people as en
argument against appropriations for
turnpikes. They said that railroads
would soon supersede turnpikes, any
way. They were wrong, but they had
their way.
States and counties and cities then
began local construction of roads.
Thousands of miles of plank roads
were built. They were popular roads
for a time, particularly in the prairie
states; but the planks soon rotted
away, and the plank roads ceased to
exist. Few people living remember
them. Then came the corduroy roads.
Over one of these from Cleveland to
Sandusky, in 1842, Charles Dickens
traveled, and his description of the
journey is one of the most entertaining
and amusing of his voluminous writ
ings. From 1854 to 1SR0 $1X00,000 were
appropriated for "military roads,"
principally in western territories. In
this manner the friends of good roads
circumvented the "state sovereignty"
opponents of government appropria
tions for good roads. Rut this sub
ject is becoming national once more,
although more than half of the states
are working under good road laws.
What the congress will do in the mat
ter cannot be anticipated, but the de
partment of agriculture has ample evi
dence from all over the country thnt
the people are looking for national ac
tion. SMITH D. FRY.
