State's Ristory. At one time consid--| ( ered the most negligent of the States | in highway improvement, I!ilinolos is | now the acknowledged leader'of the | good roads movement. ( Prior to the patgkge Uf the $60,000; | 000 road bond issue, Illinois made |, some feeble, though sincere efforts to | "better her roads. .'The State ald law, | | providing for constructing roads at the joint expense of the State and counties, resultgd in a number of short stretches of pavement. Because of the fact that State funds for this work were very limited, such pavements as | were built were either of very sghort | length, or were of such temponry', character that they were worn out | shortly after their construction. How-- ! ever, these pavements Accomplished | one thing, at least: They created | public sentiment for:a connected sys--| tem of durable roatis, which would | begin some place and go somewhere. é_ The result was the adoption of the | $60,000.000 bond issue law by the peo-- | ple in November, 1918. | ; While progress on the construction | _ of this new system was somewhat. slow at first, !llinois finally got hefl gredt road program under way, and . since 1920, she has constructed more: pavement than any other State ever has in a like period of time. In 1924, Illinotos will, for the third successive year, establish a new world's record for one season's road construction. Illinois is setting an example for the world in the quantity of her road construction. At the same time her roads are being built according to the most advanced principles of engineer-- "Ing science. Through the Bates test road, the State Division of Highways has done more to advance the knowl-- odu'ofhowtoflnfldroodlthnhu any other single agency,. Illinois has led the world in highway research and is molding"the highway policies of the United States. The fact that road builders from all over the world visit the State to study our methods is evidence of the reputation W enjoys for high class and durab road Geo Kiehm home in Arlington Hghts.
