All mails were de- j1 layed. Late today the fall of snow i * ceased in many districts, only to be j * ^^.followed by a return to thf zero1 i F weather and hign winds wmcn nave ;1 had New York State in their grip for i J the last four days. I: Four deaths were caused in this }' city by the storm and the total fatali- !' ties due to the cold spell and stormy j1 conditions numbered 17 tonight. I;t i i While the snowfall in the metropolis j # was on'y 10 inches, at other points ! phenomenal falls for those sections ! ^ were reported, and snow ranging from ' HLl24 to 36 inches in depth. Reports , tcnight from points near Albany said : hfc further decided drop in 1empera-i Hire had taken place and that a biting ! Bind, reaching in some places a veloc y of 70 miles an hour, was adding ,] PPV the discomfort and suffering. Conditions in New Jersey were al- j' . most as bad. thor-gh the fall of enow? iJ was not us heavy tlfre, ranging from eight, to 12 inches. Only one train was !' ?ent out during the day by the Lack- \' BR wanna and none came in. i, I; B High waves today again attacked ;, ^P^he Seabright N.

Conditions in Sea- j j bright, it was said, were worse for . a time than in January, when many . j buildings were demolished. Today , part of the Eeach club building was j torn down bv the waves and three cot- . I tages were swept cut to sea. % was estimated that mD"e than 1,500,0C0 cubic feet of snow was re- , moved from the streets of New York , during the day.

In a recent issue ci' Collier's, Ewing Galloway tells the singulariy interest.ng story of how Massachusetts >.as evolved, and is still developing, its iamous system of highways. The ncvement and methods he depicts are ;ruly described as "a big chapter in he country's vital progress," and they tre rich in suggestion to eve:y State ;hat is concerned with the deeply important problem of good roads. Massachusetts is credited with the lighest percentage of improved roads )f any State in the Union and, in .iropo* tion to its area is said to have ?one furthest in highway construction. tVhilp pxnpi'ditnres in this work im:unt to millions of dollars, it is iistinguished also for economy in the milding and maintenance of the roads; every dol'ar appropriated wrings due results. Such an example is well wor h studying, particularv in the South ivhere good-roads enthusiasm is now more widespread and inter.se than in my other" part of the Union and where, in the next ten years, great sums of money will be spent frr highway ex:ension and improvemert. What is :he basis of Massachusetts' distinctive success? In t>.e first place, says Mr. 3-alloway. quoting t':e chairman of the State highway commission, there is a throughly awakened public opinion: 'the people want good roads and are willing to pay a reasonable price for Lno:n." Furthermore, successive legislatures have boon responsive to public wishes and needs in this regard and, beside grafting liberal appropriations, have enacted well consideded laws. Most important, perhaps, is the fact 20 years ago Massachusetts established a State highway c-ommission, thus providing "a centra! aut-ority to collect statistics and other information about roads, and to furnish genera! engineering advice to various authorities in nf hiffhwitv wnrlr " These ar*-1 th**ee determining factors ir the Bay State's roadway devoloprrent. So far as public opinion goes, Georgia compares most favorably; there is no margin for doubt that the majortiy of cur people heartily appreciate the worth of good roads and "are wi'Iing to pay a reasonable price far them." 0:ir legislature contributed i vast doa! to the good roads cause ivhen it abolished t'_e leasing of convict? t~ private interest and placed the prisoners a: the disposal of the counfcr public highways. It should be loted, however, that this is as far as the ^fa'e aroverir^ort has gone toward encouraging highway devolopment. The :ask of planning roads, of linking them intD strong, useful chains, of building t':era scientifically and maintaining em economically has been left en :irely to the individual counties. And [i!Ft there Hps the peculiar weakness Georgia's method as compared with Massachusetts." The pupose of the Cvi&ssacnusetts highway commission is not to interfere wi:h local authorities and communities but to assist them and increase the value of their individual efforts by bringing them all into cooperative action for the development a State-wide system cf good roads, rhe highways, we are lold. are divided iLto three classes "State roads, county roads and city )r town ways. City governments provide money for the improvemneus )r repairs in their jurisdictions, and' :he small places appropriate funds at own meetings. County commissioners lot only look after county roads, but ilso have authority to direct work >n highways in cities or towcs. "The State highway commission may ay out as a State road any new or jxisting way in any city or town upon petition of the local government. When i road is so laid out the commission issumes full jurisdiction over it." The noteworthy feature of this plan .-i its Drovision for a central authority ! thereby the separate communities nay be united in roadway undertakings and a well connected system of oads thus built up. Some of its deails would doubtless be unsuited to Georgia, where conditions are disinctly different from those in Massa- ! ihusetts; but the principle itself is | idmirable for any State. "The commission keeps trained men >n every job of work," Mr. Galloway's itory continues. "There are four div- ( sion engineers, each of them having a ixed territory for which he is respon-' lible. There is a large staff of men at he main office in Boston, but most of j heir work is done indoors. Under "he division eng^eers there are assistants and resid'int engineers, who ire assigned to pa:?icular pieces of. I I work. The commission employs about ? ">0 engineers regularly, and during the busy season it has from 7."> to 100. hvery piece of w.irk is sized up before the contract is awarded. Estimates of large jobs are made at the main office; and it is known just about what a fori tractor's nr fits are soing to be before bids are advertised for. The division engineers inspect all work under their jurisdiction or have it inspected by trustworthy assistants. : Tne peop'e get a fair return for practically every dollar that is speot." To this businesslike system, is due the high quality of Massachusetts roads. Whatever it may cost taxp vers to maintain the commission a.id the corps of competent engineers is more than repaid in the money saved through good management and efficient work. A road built by scientific methods and carefully inspected every detail is a dependable public investment. Ten thousand dollars thus spent will yield larger and more lasting returns than a 100,000 loosely applied. it is gratifying to kn:w that the Friso:. Commission of Georgia has recently inaugurated a plan of State aid and supervision for county roads. It has appointed a State road inspector, a competent engineer, waose service and advice are free to every c.unty that asks for them. Many re1 x' ? ' 1 ' ? '* 1- -? .. ~ r.

Washington, Feb. 12.?What was declared to be the most succesful contention eince the organization of the Boy Scouls of America, was brought to a close here tonigat with a flour- j ! m ish of speeches. Business, addresses ; and receptions had occupied but a j ; single day. The scouts and their lead- | ers, mere than 100 strong, were en-' le lameu uy oecietai> ui^au, pcisonally representing the president, who was confined to his bedroom with a cold; Secretary Daniels of the navy department and other officers of the nation. Without exception the movement wasi lauded ?as possessing great i possibility for go:d service to the coming generation. j Chief Scout Earnest Thompson Seton tonight declared that already the Boy Scourt movement was jammed with boys and tnat many wee lurnea away because of the scarcity of men leaders. "Give us men to lead the m boys and we will carry out our work so completely that within 10 years the J jails will be empty and abandoned," . he pleaded. | The speaker assailed business men ' for their apparent lack of interest, j "Talk of conserving our resources!" : he exvlaimed. "What reasouces have i we to compare with our young men? ; The nation itself is dependent upon i om " j I Secretary Bryan today praised the j scout leaders for the excellent work t-hey were doing in training boys in J the right direction and helping them to develop those qualities of body, mind and 'spirit which would make 'tiem valuable citizens. I Secretary Daniels said it was the ? | "greatest thing in the world for g own men to keep in touc'i with the enthusiasm of youth." -jg ; With the exception of -.-eligicn, he m added, the two things in life worth ; while were enthusiasm r.nd initiative. ^ James E. West, chief scout, re! ported on the growth of the move- , n/ ment. He said lie had learned that to the national socialist party had in- , tc vestigated the several scout organizations in this' country and compiled 65 a circular favorable to the movement.
