Excerpt from Southern Good Roads, 1917, Vol. 15 A motion was passed instructing the president to appoint a committee to study the economics of road construction, particularly in reference to maintenance. This committee is to take up with the various highway departments and find out from them the cost of con struction of various types of road and the cost of maintenance per mile per year of these roads, and the amount of traffic that goes over them. The subject of highway legislation was very ably discussed by Col. E. A. Stevens of New Jersey. One of the points that he brought out was that it is dan gerons to try to prescribe by legislative act methods of conduct of business of the state highway departments. Care should be taken that the hands of a commission are not tied with useless restrictions. He called atten tion to the question of bond elections for raising reve nue, and said careful consideration should be given as to the character of bonds that were to be used. Col. Stevens also brought out the fact that with the change in administration that would take place in many states the first of the year many highway engineers would go out of office because of political-change in the ad ministration. He stated that this was not fair to the road work of a state, and that the engineers in charge 'of the road work should not be changed because of a political change in the state. They should not be in any way political appointments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Perhaps that is not as familiar to those who hear me as the name San Juan Hill, whose hero will be with Knoxville to morrow; but in the road annals of Clarke count-y, Mitchell's Bridge Hill is as important an event as San Juan Hill was in the Spanish war.

California Before the Freeways A Pictorial History of California's Highways 1912-1919 A 214 page picture-rich book showing people and automobiles along highways, byways, and wood plank roads in California between 1912 -1919. Pictures shows bygone tourist routes, vistas, antique cars, dirt and desert wood plank roadways, old cities and towns, and the people instrumental in getting California's highways built over "Hill-and-DALE." "The State Highway Commission, overcoming its great native modesty, called attention to the fact that it was at present financially embarrassed and that unless some extraordinary legislation was developed it would be 'tee-totally busted' before funds could be derived from the proposed bond issue, which, under existing laws, could not be voted upon before the fall of 1920 at the general election, a lapse of time which might just as well be a century so far as present pecuniary needs were concerned. And then arose a Moses with his rod and smote the rock and funds poured forth. Attorney General Webb was the man who finally evolved the plan of amending the constitution of California to provide a further sum of $40,000,000 for State Highway construction by the sale of bonds, the one election serving the double purpose of amending the constitution of the state of California and providing $40,000,000 for more roads. Immediately upon the setting of July 1 as the date for the election, the California Good Roads Campaign Committee was formed, with L. A. Nares of Fresno as chairman, the vice-chairmen being Francis Carr of Redding and Henry W. Keller of Los Angeles, while joint secretaries were named as follows: D. E. Watkins, manager California State Automobile Association, San Francisco; John F. Shea, secretary Northern California Hotel Men's Association; E. W. Casson, secretary Southern California Hotel Men's Association; and Standish L. Mitchell, secretary Automobile Club of Southern California. This book is based on the wonderful and classic out-of-print book "California Highways" by Ben Blow 1920.
