THE PROBLEM OF BRITAIN'S HIGH ROADS.
DEMAND FOR A NEW POLICY.
TRAFFIC LEAPING AHEAD OF CONSTRUCTION,
SUGGESTED £100,000,000 LOAN.
An immense problem of British road development faces the Government. It is brought into public prominence by the change over in technical control at the Ministry of Transport. Sir Henry Maybury, the Director-General of Roads, has retired, and his place ia taken by Lieat.-Colonel C. E. Bressey, who is now principal officer in the Roads Department.
矗
Many authorities and industrial organisations are urging a new policy. They ask that the whole question of road construction shall be regarded from the national point of view; that an estimate shall be made of the road requirements ten and twenty years ahead; and that immediate plans shall be formed on those calcula tions.
ין
Provision of national relief work for the unemployed is linked with the necessity for road improvement. There are approximately 1,250,000 unemployed workers, Many, particularly minora, can be given profitable work on road reconstruction. The mining areas generally have some of the worst roads in the whole country, and the miners therefore could be provided with road work in their own districts.

"What we
A loan of a hundred million pounds for roads is suggested by the Roads Improvement Association Most British roads, writes ai special correspondent of the Daily Express, are inadequate to the requirements of motor traffic. The mileage of roads in Britain is 179,000, of which 164,000 miles are

The anec in Scotland. First-class roads, guarantee for that loan can be under the Ministry of Transport given from the revenue of the Road classification, total 23,139 miles and Fund.

It is generally admitted that the improvement and reconstruction of existing roads is not keeping pace
"Seventy million pounds of the loan should be spent during the next five years, and the balance be kept in reserve for future develop
with the increase in the number of i ment, motor vehicles. There were at the beginning of this year more than two million licensed motor vehicles in England alone. That number is increasing by nearly 3,000 a week.
State Loan,
One suggestion laid before the Government by the Roads Improve mens Association a voluntary or ganisation which has adequate road development as its programme for a State loan of ont hundred million pounds for new and better roads. Repayment of capital and the interest on this loan would be guaranteed out of the revenue from motor taxes.
The seanciation is preparing a scientific scheme of roads to day before the Ministry of Transport in the interest of the general public and of all road users.
What the Socialist Party have in mind for the roads should they be returned to power at the general election-is indicated by a recent statement of Mr. Philip Snowden, who was Chancellor of the Exche quer under Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald;
