NOT A DEFENSE,
ONLYTHE FACTS
Has the Highway Department
Been Unduly Extravagant
PRELIMINARY WORK IS DCNE
Accurate Road Map Required Before
Construction of Good Roads Could
6 tart Otherwise Funds Would
Be Expended Improperly.
Notwithstanding the fact that Gov
ernor Tener plainly Btated, at the
Harrlsburg Good Roads Convention,
September 18, that the Legislature of
1915 wl!i have the work and responsi
bility of enacting the laws authoriz
ing and regulating the issuing of the
proposed road bonds, and a new ad
ministration the duty of putting them
into operation, provided the constitu
tional amendment is carried, there
are still unthinking people who at
tempt to argue otherwise.
Whether rightly or wrongly, a senti
ment seems to exist in the minds of
some persons that the State Highway
Department has been unduly extrava
gant In the expenditure of the State's
highway funds, but few of the persons
making such suggestions have ever
read the highway law, or know the
details of its provisions.
While this phase of the road sub
ject has no direct bearing on the
constitutional amendment, which
must be passed if the roads are to
be built for the use of the present
generation, it is wise to correct mis
apprehensions which may exist in
connection with highway subjects.
One of the provisions of the Sproul
highway law was that accurate road
maps should be made ot every county
in the State. This is a work of
great magnitude, requiring the sur
vey and measurement by skilled sur
veyors of every mile of road in Penn
sylvania. Not only must the location
of the roads be established, but the
width; the radius of curves; the Ir
regularities of property lines; the
streams; the drainage area and water
outlet, all must be included in this
permanent record. Its immediate
practicability concerns mostly the
roads included in the State highway
system, for it will frequently be neces
sary, in improving these highway, to
change locations to secure better
grades, correct the alignment, avoid
grade crossings, and secure better
lines of sight for the avoidance of
accidents, buying or exchanging road
property. In order to do this the
maps must be perfect and must bo
kept corrected as such changes are
made.
This surveying and map making,
requiring the services of skilled and
competent men, is expensive. Up to
the date of the last report of the De
partment more than thirty-five thou
sand miles of the highways of the
State had been surveyed and placed
on the maps, and the cost of survey
lny and mapping each road can be
found In the published reports.
A close study of the reports dis
closes the fact that in nearly every
instance, the work was done at a
cost considerably less than would
have been charged by an engineering
and map-making firm. Wherever coun
ty surveys were available In accurate
form they were utilized; but it fre
quently occurred that there were
errors in these county surveys that
had to be corrected, and in most
counties the surveys were so incom
plete as to be of little use.
This is not Intended as a defense
of the present highway department,

out merely designed tT how the facts
to those who openly allege that the
highway funds have been squandered,
and who argue against the proposed
amendment to the State constitution
on the ground that much of the
money might be wasted or worse.
The Sproul law and the 1911 appro
priation contemplated the making ot
these surveys and maps. They are
necessary in building a State road
system. Every State which has built
good roads has had to make similar
maps of its highway. Without them
the roads could not be improved,
nor could intelligent plans for good
road construction be made.
In this, as in a great variety of
other subjects connected with the
roads there is only needed a plain
statement of the facts to change an
objector into a good roads advocate.
There seems no possible argument
against the contituttonal amendment
providing fifty million dollars with
which to build the roads that a close
study of the facts themselves will not
overcome. The exercise of ordinary
horse sense in getting at the truth
of the subject in all its phases will
compel every voter to see for himself
that not only his own best interests,
but the best interests of the Common
wealth as a whole are in the direc
tion of the adoption ot the constitu
tional amendment; the issue ot bonds
by the Legislature of 1915, and the
building of a system of highways
which will develop Pennsylvania's
resources, and place its people on an
equal footing with those of other
advanced States in the pursuit of
wealth, health and happiness.

The Defeat of Bonds Would Possibly

DIVORCED FROIvTdEAO MAN
Queer Requirements Made In France
That Official Records May Be
Completed.
In France, as in some other coun
tries, every citizen has an official his
tory. Not as varied and Interesting
as his real history, but atlU import
ant. From this there follow at times
quaint consequences. If a woman is
married, for example, a wife she re
mains officially though the husband
may be missing.
Consider the case of the paintet
who went fishing on Anthle bay. H
has not since been seen. The body ol
one man who went with him was
washed ashore lifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing prool
that his wife had been made a widow.
She thought so and in due time she
sought to have it recorded in her of
ficial history that she was a widow.
We are familiar with applications to
a court of justice for leave to pre
sume the death of persons who have
vanished. But the French Judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her official
history a wife and there was no certifi
cate to justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without a certlfl
cate or reasonable documentary evi
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was a way round. The be
reaved woman applied for a divorce on
the ground of desertion. Since death
is beyond dispute the most complete
kind of desertion, the court of Mon
treal decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an independent woman and apparently
both the law and she are satisfied. But
you will observe that the official his
tory must now record the wife of a
dead man as a divorcee, which does
not seem very creditable to official
history.

As the Deck Hands on a Tramp Steamer.
The men who design T. A. P. clothes, and the men who sew them together, are engaged
only after they have proven to possess brains and ability. "A Jack of All Trades" tailor stands
