Two '
Will Eventually Link 50 Percent
Of America's Cities
By F. C. TURNER
Federal Highway Administrator
With over two-thirds of the Interstate Highway System
already open to traffic, the day is close when the 42,500-mile
network of controlled-access roads is finished and its benefits
can be enjoyed to the fullest.
At the end of fiscal year 1969, 28,219 miles were in use,
construction was taking place on another 5,259 miles, and
preliminary engineering or right-of-way acquisition was
under way on an additional 6,956 miles. Mileage opened to-
taled 67 percent, while some form of work was under way or
completed on 40,434 miles- about 95 percent of the 42,500
miles.
Some $37.2 billion has been
put to work on the system
since the accelerated pro-
gram began in 1956. Work
completed cost $26.57 billion
and work under way or au-

thorlzed as of June 30, 1969,
totaled $10.63 billion. The
Federal share of the cost Is
90 percent, financed by the
Highway Trust Fund which
Is supported entirely by Fed-
eral road user taxes.
Of the many user benefits
stemming from the Inter-
state System, probably the
most welcome and the most
important is the saving of
lives. For each five miles of
the system opened to traffic,
a life is saved during each
year thereafter. Because it
is designed and built with
primary interest for safety,
the system is expected to
save at least 8,300 lives an-
nually once it is finished. In-
terstate travel is more than
twice as safe as on conven-
tional roads replaced by the
new IS routes.
Although it constitutes on-
ly a bit more than 1 percent
of the country's 3.7 million
miles of roads and streets,
the system will carry at least
20 percent of all the nation's
traffic, and will link together
more than 90 percent of
America's cities with popu-
lations of 50,000 or more.
It has been estimated that
when the system is finished.
user benefits will total about
$11.5 bUlion a year due to
lower operating time, acci-
dent, and strain-of-driving
costs.
The system is providing a
new mobility for the move-
ment of people and goods.
Business and vacation trav-
el takes less times than for-
merly.

able.
Trucking operations are
more efficient and deliveries
are faster.
Farm products are shipped
more quickly and with less
loss from spoilage.
But of most benefit, it is
truly a life saver.
In 1968, an estimate sub-
mitted to Congress by the
Federal Highway Adminis-
tration fixed the cost of the
then-41,000-mile system at
$56.5 billion, of which the
the Federal share was $50.6
billion. But that same year,
Congress increaped the mile-
age from 41,000 to 42,500 to
fill missing critical links be-
tween major cities.

These Checks
When you get that pre-
vacation lubrication at your
favorite service outlet, you're
likely getting more than a
freshly-greased chassis.
Chances are you're also tak-
ing out an anti-breakdown
insurance policy.
According to Chek-Chart
Corporation, more service
outlets are conducting safety
inspections every time the
car is on the hoist for a lu-
brication. The importance of
such inspection is increasing
since extended lubrication
intervals recommended by
manufacturers mean that
cars are on the hoist less fre-
quently.
Chek-Chart recommends
the following components be
inspected during a lubrica-
tion and any necessary de-
fects be corrected:
[] Brake system
[] Steering and suspension
[] Shoek absorbers
[] Tires and wheels
[] Exhaust system
[] Fuel system
[] Cooling system
[] Drive line units
[] Threaded fasteners
[] Seat belts
[] Electrical system
[] Lights and horn
[] Locks and latches
[] Visibility items such as
glass, wipers, washers,
mirrors and defrosters
In inspecting these sys-
tems, a trained mechanic will
~heck for various fluid leaks
or low levels of lubricants.
Particularly sensitive areas
are brake fluid reservoirs,
master cylinder leakage,
power steering fluids, shock
absorber and drive line lubri-
