- 3 - Use of Containers. (xix) It is a matter of some surprise to us that containers are not more generally used; greater progress might be made in this direction (Paragraph 153.) Highways. ========= General. (xxiii) The Roads Act, 1920, represents a most important milestone in highway history. From a national aspect, the fact that a central Department of Government is directly concerned with highways is of the greatest importance, since it is by this means alone that gene- ral policy can be directed on national lines-and we believe that it is only on these lines that the best results can be secured. (Paragraph 179.) Arterial Roads. ============== (xxiv) A considerable mileage of new arterial roads has been constructed, partly to fill immediate needs and partly, by anticipating future requirements, to provide work for the relief of unemployment. Looking at the network of highways which spreads over the country, and considering the mileage of new construction which has been completed during the last ten years and that which is now in hand or about to be commenced, we have come to the conclusion that we cannot support any scheme which would involve the expenditure of very large additional sums of public money ./.
