BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN EASTERN ROADS
Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey Have Made
Great Strides
Washington. D? C.. Sept 15. The
grreat extension in the use of motor
m vehicles in the past few years has
brought about a marked Increase in
the construction of new, substantial
and mare costly types of roads in New
York, Nw Jersey and Pennsylvania,
it has been found by the t*. S. De
partment of Agriculture. The third
6-yearly study of road mileage, road
types and highway finances in the
three Middle Atlantic States, just re
ported by the Office of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering, in Depart
ment Bulletin No. 356. shows that in
1914 roads treated with bituminous,
preparations made up 15.4 per cent of
the improved highways as against 1
per cent in 1909.
A similar showing is made in the
report for concrete, brick and other
of the more substantial materials used
in road construction. Approximately
9 per cent of the improved road mile
age of the three commonwealths is
now surfaced with such materials,
while in 1909 roads of this type con
stituted only 1 per cent of the im
proved highways. In 1904, when the
first road study was made, neither
bituminous nor the more substantial
roads were found in the three States,
untreated macadam and gravel roads
predominating. The changes of re
cent years brought about a reduction
from 51 to 39.3 per cent of the total
in the proportion of untreated mac
adam toads during the period from
1909 to 1914. The figures are com
* plete except for Pennsylvania, where
it was impossible to secure detailed
information regarding the type of
surfaced roads in the second class
of townships.
Macadam Passing Out
Of the road improvement made only
in the o-vear period of the most re
cent study, more than 3,500 miles, or
37 per cent, were treated with bitu
men, while only 20.5 per cent were
untreated macadam nd 26 per cent
plain gravel. This indicates con
clusively, in the opinion of officials of
the Office of Public Koads and Rural
Engineering, that for roads carrving
heavy automobile traffic, the " old
standard type of waterbound mac
adam has had its day.
In 1914 the three States named

tures were: New York, more than
$23,000,000; New Jersey, more than
$7,000,000: Pennsylvania, more than
$10,000,000. In addition, county,!
town, and township bonds voted in
New York totaled nearly $12,000,000;
in New Jersey. $14,000,000; In Penn- i
sylvania. $27,500,000. New York was
the only one of the three common
wealths voting State bonds for road j
improvement. The amount author- I
Ized to the close of 1914 was SIOO-'
000,000, of which $65,000,000 had I
been issued. All the three States j
have highway departments and apply!
State funds to road improvement. J
Approximately one-third of all ex
penditures are provided by local units
in New York, and about one-half in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Loads in Mileage
Although the road mileage in the
Middle Atlantic States on January 1,
1915, was 185,770.84 miles, of which
the approximate State mileages were-
New York. 79,000; New Jersey, 15.-
000. and Pennsylvania, 91,500. This'
is exclusive of practically all streets;
in incorporated cities and towns. The !
percentages of surfaced roads added
in the 5-year period were 3.5 in New!
York, 17 in New Jersev, and 7 in
Pennsylvania.
The report is the first of a series l
which will relate to road lnvestiga- !
tions of mileage, conditions and tin- 1
nnces throughout the United States. '
| Owing to the establishment since 1909
or many States highway departments
! „ i!h eßt l? at ! on for 1914 was made

the State and local officials. Much de

LOCAL SHOOTERS

R. D. Morgan, of Washington,
D. C., Wins Westy Hogan
Honors
Atlantic City, X. J., Sept. 15.
Shooters from Harrisburg. while mak
ing good scores, have not shown their
former stride. J. G. Martin yesterday
broke 71 cut of 75, 97 out of 100; Har
ris. 72 and 95; H. B. Shoop, 74 and 89;
I M. B. Stewart, 71 and 96; S. S. Hoff

R. D. Morgan, of Washington, D. C.,
was crowned the new amateur cham
pion of the Westy Hogans. Inciden
tally, he further annexed the entire
days honors with his remarkable ex
hibition in going straight in the 175
targets of the regular events and then
winning two shoot-offs. The Washing
tonian last night had an unfinished
consecutive run of 217, which eclipses
any record to date in this tournament.
Morgan tied at the last minute with
bred Plum in the final 100 targets
which constituted the championship
race. Morgan, in the extra strings,
smashed two sets of 20 targets each
while Plum lost the belt on missing his
twenty-fifth target.
In the amateur championship event

blue rocks. They finished in " the
shoot-offs as follows: Allen Heil, of
Allentown; Dr. G. H. Martin, of New
York city; G. N. Fish, of Lindenville.
Ed Cain - of Dayton, and Wool
folk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky.
Charles H. Newcomb and W. B Sev
ern, both of Philadelphia, and E. X.
Gillespie, of Pittsburgh, were the 9 8
scores to get the last three prizes by
virtue of their performance in the
shoot-offs. Heil landed high prize in
his class by breaking 59 in the extra
60 blue rocks. Dr. Martin smashed 58
Henry Powers, of Atlantic Citv, won
the championship last year, but did
not figure seriously yesterdav.
_ Heil, Fred Tomlin, of Glassboro.
N. J., Fish and Plum tied for second
high amateur gun honors to Morgan
Each cracked 173 out of their possible
175. Hcnderion. Fred Harlow, of
