Story of the Road and the Great Town Highway
A trenchant discussion by Howard H. Gross of the Farmers' Good Roads League on Illinois road policy. The piece critiques wasteful spending, labor taxes, and poor municipal management, arguing for state aided, properly drained, hard roads gravelling and macadamized for year round use, with broad public ownership and fair funding.
