Sadler, of Pennsylvania, and High way Commissioner A. U. Taylor, of Ohio, have arranged Improvement of Important thoroughfares which will link Ohio and Pennsylvania centers of population. They have agreed that the con necting thoroughfare shall be those from Conneaut leading to Erie; from Youngstown to New Castle; from East Palestine to Beaver Palls, and from St. Clairsville to Washington. The latter is known as tho National Pike and that from East Palestine to Beaver Falls as the Lincoln Highway. Projects for the not distant future include the construction of roads from Warren, 0., to Sharon; from East Liverpool to Beaver, and from Steubenville to Pittsburgh. It will be several years, however, before these three projects aro completed. Commissioner Sadler was highly complimented by Commissioner Taylor on tho great progress being made in Pennsylvania, not only In the constructing of new roadways, but also in the maintenance of thoroughfares already in use.

"In England recently," he said "freight transportation ceased. As .• result there was tremendous diffl cuP.y in transporting foodstuffs t tho centers of population. Moto. trucks, passenger cars and horse drawn vehicles were pressed inti service. Suppose freight transpor tation were to cease in the United States. What would happen? "In five days babies in our largei cities would die. In twenty days the State would be on rations. In forty days men, women and children would be sick through lack of suf ficient nourishment. "It is the idea of Governor Sproui and the State Highway Department that all possible haste be made ir the construction of a primary high way system connecting our Stati with other States, and our centert of production with the centers o. consumption." ' "That is a splendid idea." said Commissioner Taylor. "We have i been greatly impressed with th* magnitude of the Pennsylvania con struction program. Pennsylvania's 1919 expenditure of approximately $36,000,000 for road work will al most be equaled by the Ohio ex penditure for 1920, when we plan to put $25,000,000 into better roads. It is our idea in Ohio to put an end to the 'island' system of road building. I mean by that, the construction of isolated "strips of hard-surfaced thoroughfare, which in the summer time are flanked by ribbons of dust and In the winter by rivers of mud." Highway Commissioner Sadler told Commissioner Taylor that the Pennsylvania Department is putting its money into permanent work. "We are not building for present use alone," said Mr. Sadler. "It Will be such work as our descendants will thank us for. We have issued bonds to pay for construction of our primary system. It is our idea that the roads we build must outlive the bonds issued to pay for them. Any other system would be economic waste." HAVE BUILDING CONTRACTS New Cumberland, Pa., Nov. 12. G.
