dara writing editorially says The Bill to amend the Highways Act, 1900, passed by the House of Assembly on Tuesday, continues the 33 3 per cent added 10 the taxes last year with the object of assisting the road authorities in the paintenance of the roads. The debate on this measure only emphasised the plea we have been maling in these columns for some years for a forward policy in road making. The roads gener ally are in a bad condition, and money is being wasted in wrong methods of dealing with them.
It is neccesary not only to spend great deal more money than is done at present on the roads, but to have a uniform scheme for the whole island supervised by a competent central authori ty with a grasp of modern roadmaking. Otherwise there will be endless patching with flimsy material, the result being unsatisfactory We believe this community is willing to acquire good roads, and not gr grudge the money necessary to them. But for some years money was not fo: thcoming for this or any other considerable enterprise. Our finances have luckily turned the corner, and we shall have to consider such vital development as Ir tertal communication and harbour improvements. In Tuesday de bate Mr. Robinson said that the Government will ultimately have to face the situation with respect to the roads and to do something.
Mr. Bac za also pointed out that should the Government not take action the House of Assembly would bare, sooner or later, to move in the matter. We are persuaded that the Government is not unwilling to take action, and we think the plain advice given to the Executive by bonourable members will be well received and will bear fruit. As Mr.
Yearwood said, the condition of the roads is more serious than people who do not travel about much realise. In cur opinion a crisis has occurred, and it is not possible longer to dally with this question. It has to be faced and Lackled without loss of time, or the roads will be practically put out of commission. In this age of heavy motor traffic it will be impracticable to limit such traf fic. The roads must be capable of resisting it. We need wellbuilt roads with strong foundations and surfaces. It is evident that this is a serious problem, but it will be wise to take it in hand at once and solve it prur ptly.
