Excerpt from New Roads and Road Laws in the United States

This work attempts only to give a condensed account of recent progress in American road-making, with details of the examples which have been most conspicuously successful, together with some suggestions for legislation and for road construction.

New developments succeed each other rapidly in this field: since the body of this book was in type, committees of the New York State Legislature and Boards of Super visors have visited the State Aid Road Districts of New Jersey, and on their return have passed a State Aid law through the lower house by a vote of four to one.
