Williams, executive director of the Tompkins County Development Association. Mr. Williams said that there are two major fields of activity in roadside improvement: first, the removal of rubbish, filling of unsightly mud-holes, the removal of billboards and bbjectional signs; second, planting of attractive flowers, shrubs and trees in such a way as not to hide curves, railroad crossings and other danger spots along the mighway. Progress has been made in Tompkins County along these lines, Mr. Williams said.

"Roadside improvement gives an opportunity for property owners, civic clubs and highway departments to co-operate in an activity which has economic, safety, and aesthetic values," Mr. Williams said. "The carefully kept slopes prevent erosion and subsequent expense for cleaning of ditches and culverts. Property values are enhanced by roadside development Traffic hazards are reduced by keeping mud and debris from coming on to the highway. Finally, the attractive development of roadsides make for pleasant impressions as travelers use our highways, and visitors leave our communities with the hope of coming back again and again to enjoy the beauty and safety of a well-made and well kept road and roadsides."
