Reports Sent Federal
Highway Council
I WASHINGTON The extent to
Which the people of the United Bta.te
are committing themselves to defi
nite poik v of highway development '
shown by" reports reachlnK 'he federal
highway council from all sections of
the country
In the face of high com for both
materials and labor, und the fact that
In some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet ex
isting labor and material conditions,
there is no tendency upon the part of
the people to slow down In their plan
to place the nation s highways upon a
higher plans In the country's transpor
tation system. Tersely stated "they I
arc solid to the heels " on the proposl-i
tlon to construct highways that will
release rather than restrict traffic, and
they are dismissing labor and material
problems with curt Instructions to,
th lr official servants that It Is up to
them to deliver the roads
fhghwnv officials stale and coun
ty, as well as national are facing
their duties with patience and tact,
and out of maae of trying situations i
construction Is going ahead at a falrlv
satisfactory rate. Hut as Paul L Sar
gent, state highway engineer of Maine, I
president of the American Association)
of Highway officials pointed out In
Tf meeting at Philadelphia recently when
KijU the people finally decided to authorize
WjT fch development of an particular
v4j road project, they are prone to expect
jk , the work done almost over niht.
fn Another feature In connection with
flyl road building at this time Is the fact
flfffl that more and more the educational,
Xfifl part of hlghwji development is cx-
99 tending Its scope while at the same,
timo its primal source of activities Is j
KjX being concentrated into a central and)
HUfl more effective organization direcledi
BJFi from the standpoint of the public I
Juf f which repreecnia the builder the usei
SftiJ and the taxpayer The direction ofi
wm highwMv educational work along broad
W lines will result, according iii the view1
r taken by many of the highwav offi-1
clals In the public's determination to
get roads built upon a comprehensive
I stale, economically and with the tvpe
best suited to each locality and adapt - j
ed to traffic needs
As the national body around which
highway educational activities aroj
now being centralized, ihc federal
highway council occupies a unique :
possllion in building for better trans-
portntlon i
1 'wing io the rapidly growing use J
of the public highwaj aj i passenger
and freight carrier both in short and
long hauls, and the lack of a corre
I spondlng progress in the efficiency of
' m the road itself, economic problems
i have arisen that call for 0 careful and!
a clear presentation of facts to the
public. As a result of the divergence j
between the eervlce highways are ail
ed upon to render and their ability '
to render that service; the highway
from an educational standpoint has
f become r subject of much greater Im-
portance than heretofore, so tliat high-
way officials national. state mid
', county are placing greater reliance
upon the educational phase of high

Moore Explains That Shortage
of Fuel in This Country

I preceding s rise in price; yet there Is
(always an ample supply.
The time will never come when
power vehicles will cense to run be
cause of the absence of fuel " la the
belief of John C Moore, chief en
gineer of Ihe iexington Motor com
pany, "In the first place, there is'
ample fuel, despite reports to the con
trary; In the second place there is an
abundance, stored lu the shale of th

! No less authority than I- R. Oolb
editor of Petroleum Agi shows ihn1
shale contains hundcrds of billions of
gallons of gasoline, and he also ihows
that some of the Pennsylvania oil
weiN have been producing for fifts
years are siill giving forth fuel
"I-ast fall there was more gasoline
on hand than a year preViouSi and
there are still vast fields that have;
not been scratched
"It Is o fact at least a well borne
out report that oil interest have
learned that to keep up prices It is
, ec Mats to limit production' just as
is done In other lines, and It is told
that the hie- COncerna. those having re
fining apparatus, will not buy prude
bi from the little producers. There IS
n reason for thlr.. of course, and It
is obvious.
"New fields, deeper drilling, shale
gasoline and even alcohol are seen bj
N!i I'olbv as the things that will elim

that have oil Where it has never been

"Some of these days," Mr Moore
continued, "some man will come along,

that a Brooklyn chemist has produced
