In Section B, Question T, the First International Road Congress dealt with this question on the basis of the reports sent in and of the results of the verbal proceedings. Through the principal reporter, the chairman of the “ Commission de Tourisme ” of the French Automobile Club, E. Chaix, the Congress formulated certain demands and adopted a series of corresponding conclusions. If these conclusions have not hitherto been attended with striking success —- no notice of their realisation having been made public -— the reason probably lies in the circumstance that the demands made were excessive. The fulfilment of such conditions is not difficult when a new arrangement of the kilometre-stoning and the renewed acquisition of signposts are in question. Where, however, as is the case in Germany, more or less suitable and complete kilometre-stonings and direction indications by means of distance-showing stones and signposts are to be found on the open stretches at all important road-crossings and branchings, certain not to be under-estimated difficulties stand in the way of innovations. Not the smallest of the difficulties is the outlay that thereby comes in question. For instance, the carrying through of the kilometre-stone arrangement on the basis of the pattern stone the adoption of which was proposed at the first Road Congress would, for the 3000 km of country roads of the Grand Duchy of Baden, entail an outlay of at least 3000x40 = 120 000 M. This not inconsiderable amount, if standing directly at disposal, might probably find more suitable application for other improvements of the roads.
