EVERY COUNTY IS HIT BY RULING Stale Will Not Countenance; Spending of Money on Roads j That Will Not Last The State Highway Department I to-day declared that yesterday's; ruling to the effect that counties may i not spend long-time bonds in build- i ing short-time roads not only applies : to Venango county, whose county j commissioners saw Commissioner i Sadler yesterday, but every other j county in Pennsylvania. The depart- ' ment in the act of June 12, 1919, j is given control of road construction] by counties. "The State," said Commissioner j Sadler to-day, "will not permit coun-1 . ties to spend money borrowed on i long-time terms to build roads which' ! would have disappeared before the ] bonds were paid off. That would be j waste of the worst sort. It costs i us SSOO lo' $1,500 a mile per year! to maintain macadam highways. I Venango county suggested construe-1 tion of cinder roads.

Mr. Dohoney re- I cently called attention of the com-1 mission to the fact that accidents i had been claimed by automobile drivers to lie due to the glare from i trolley headlights who asserted that , motormen did not dim the lights; ; when cars were approaching. It is j the idea to present tho opinion to [ the commission with the idea of ob- | taining some uniform practice in re- j j gard to trolley car lights as there : is under the requirements of the j automobile code.

[ "Our studies," said Commissioner! 1 Sadler, "clearly demonstrate that a [ ] cinder rood is not serviceable under , j modern conditions of trunsportution. j 1 Upkeep of such u road would be i . continuous und costly.

Kltts. mayor of Erie, i agreed with Commissioner Sadler i during :i conversation on road mat- | ters that the cities of Pennsylvania very shortly must solve the problem i of constructing streets which will j stand up under modern trausportu- j j tion methods. it was the opinion | lof Mayor Kltts and Commissioner i Sadler that Pennsylvania municipuli | tics must in the future pay more at j tention to the putting down of pave i ments which will meet the require- j I ments of modern traffic; and in the j case of pavements put down with j j money obtained from bond issues lie j ; of such a type us will still lie in ex | istenoe after the maturity of the I bonds. Commissioner Sadler expressed the j opinion that spending borrowed j money for tlio maintenance of city ; streets or of State roads is an eco- ! nomic waste. Both the Oommis- | sioner and the Mayor arc of the . opinion that municipalities in future i pavement construction must give ) considerable thought to the problem { of building streets which will not ; break down under the heavy ton-j nage now using them. Rapid disin- | tegration of streets of Pennsylvania | municipalities is declared chiefly due j to the fact that they were not in- ! tended for the use to which they are j now being put.
