"Moreover the roads of the South
are not subjected to as severe frosts
land freezes in the spring and fall as
those of the North and consequently
the injury from this source necessarily
makes the cost of maintenance less.
So while the South stands in the great
est need of road improvements its con
sdtions are most favorable for meet-
ing that need."
Mr. Page illustrated how much more
cheaply the South can improve its
roads and gave statistics to show how
counties with improved roads have
greatly increased their population
while those without good roads have
lost in population. He also showed
how millions of dollars have been sav-
ed by tho improvement of public highways-
throughout the South.
"Once the South has a complete sys-
tem of public roads" he predicted "it
will become the most prosperous sec-
tion of the United States. Good roads
mean more to the South than to any
other part of the country because it
is here trfat the cost of moving crops
has been so high. The South today is
enjoying an era of prosperity and ex-
pansion. Improvements are in prqg-
ress all alqng the line. Its population
is Increasing each .year; its railroad
mileagq is being extended; its man-
ufacturers enlarged and. its. agricul-
ture is each year opening up to new
possibilities and bringing new eras
undor cultivation. In order however
for this growth to continue it will be
necessary that tho roads of the South
be improved; for bad roads wijl check
its Increasing population impede Its
railroad development hamper tho en
largement of Its manufactures and re
strict its agriculture."

during 1911 than ever before.
"At the present date there is avail-
able for expenditure throughout the
sixteen Southern States he sum of
$ 10652000 or $50 per mile which is
practically double tho expenditure of
1904. There will be. however other
large funds available during tho year
'.as many counties are aglfaing and
'will uo doubt vote large bond issues
for road Improvement. It is further
'shown that the South is keoping pace
;with other sections of the country in
'the matter of road Improvements by
'tho fact that practically one-third of
all tho funds available for expenditures
ion roads during 1911 are available in
J the sixteen Southern States while in
11904 tho other States of tho Union ex-
Ipendod four times as much as was ex-
pended fn the Sou tli.
