It is elementary to say that bad roads are the most expensive for the motorists. He must pay for good roads whether he has them or not and a speeding up of the federal government‘s highway gonstruction program is regarded by the motorists as essential," Mr. Mayer deciares.

George C. Diehl, county engineer of Erie county, New York, in which Bufâ€" falo is located, recently announced the results of studies which show that the cost of carrying a large volume of traffic over inferior road surfaces is excessive. Traffic Census A continual traffic census has been taken on Erie County roads since 1923. The report shows the cost of road surface for the actual service perâ€" formed or tons of traffic carried over HIGH ON BAD ROAD| tratic cartied in 1926 was les than Service; Examples Are Given 133 North Second Streetâ€"Highland Park 133 North Second Street Automotiv® REpaAIR SERVICE Since we have made such a great effort to serve the motoring public with nothing but the best =â€" â€"we believe we should give them . the best tires procurableâ€"and the only tires and tubes good enough On Sundayâ€"July First GOODYEAR each mile of roadway. The average oneâ€"half the cost in 1923, due to the increasing mileage of permanent type roads. ‘The cost of providing and maintainâ€" ing the road surface to serve a oneâ€" ton automobile driven 6,000 miles durâ€" ing the year 1926 was as follows: Waterbound macadam, $114; bituminâ€" ous macadam, $37.00; sheet asphalt, $23.40; and portland cement concrete $18.90. These figures show definitely the close relationship that actually exists between the automobile and the road surface. Just what $100 buys Erie County in the way of roads is shown by the following figures which give the ton miles carried by each type of road for that sum during the year 1926: Waterbound macadam, 5,263 tonâ€" miles; bituminous macadam, 15,873 tonâ€"miles; flexible pavement 26,641 tonâ€"miles; concrete 31,746 ton-mila.‘ For the most part, car operating expenses are awaiting a substantial reduction. _ With automobiles now models of efficiency, the greatest posâ€" sible reduction will come through the construction of better roads. Money saved through lessened upkeep costs will buy more good roads, which cut motoring costs still further. of O p e n i n g Ann o un ce ment We have spared no effort nor exâ€" pense to make this new building and its equipment the best in the automotive field on the North Shore.
