HENRY. FORD SPEAKS OUT.; Tho word of Henry Ford has a habit of creeping into everyday • life! It is. not surprising when Henry Ford makes a remark about roads, because he is the greatest' living authority on the subject of Transport. "What:he'says always has more than a news' value. He recently made a remark-that is of peculiar interest to Christchurch as a district at the present moment. Thenew road: being constructed from Chaneys to Styx is a concrete one and concrete roads have received the approbation of Henry Ford. "There is nothing like a concrete road," he says, "it is unbeatable. ... A concrete road will outwear anything else known." Concrete roads are-gradually encircling the world, the experience of cities, countries, and continents has found that they are the most permanent and cost the least for maintenance. It was aptly put by someone who knows: ''Concrete i-oads have repairs built out and' maintenance built in." New Zealand has hopes of a future of concrete road, there is no better method of linking the country to.the town, no road which makes' transportation so efficient and cheap, no road which costs so little in the end. —4
