An account of the methods adopted in Germany to stimulate the motor industry is given by the Imperial Economic Committee. Of the great new network of German roads the committee observes:—"The network is designed to. cover Germany from end to end. In the layout of every section of the system, engineer and architect are working in close collaboration. Care is taken to ensure beauty of environment for the routes chosen, and also to preserve the amenities of the country through which the roads pass. The roads skirt the towns and villages which lie near, but not on, their path, and no ugly signs or buildings are permitted to mar either the road or the environment. No less care is talwn with the design of the filling stations to be erected at suitable points along the route in a style at once simple, severe and pleasing, and devoid of any advertisements."
