ROAD CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT I MPROVED I N 30 00 YEARS by Guy 13 . de Vall Hermann Sc hre i be r, in his book "Me rcha nts, Pilgrims and Hi ghwaymen: History of Roads t hrougn t he Ag s , " on page 115 wrot e : 11 • • • A for betwee n the roads of a ncient Crete (3000 B. C. ) a nd the mode rn U. S . Highway No. 40 NO MORE THAN !IALF A DOZE,· TECHHCAL DISCOVERIES HAVE BEEN MADE THAT ARE OF ANY SIGNI fI CAl'iCE. " l3e fore we l ook at a new i dea , t he words of Thomas Edison i n r egard t o new i deas should be re coll ect ed : "Convent i on requires that we all look at things in the same single way . 'Thus f ar s halt thou go, and no fart her' is the s taid remonstrance of convention. Our ve r y f amiliari t y wi t h a spec i alized f i e l d of experience condi t ions us to t h i nk about it conventi onally. We may become so accustomed to doing thi ngs i n a certain way t hat i t does not occur to us t hat i t c an be done in anot her and perhaps better way . " For 3000 years roads ha ve not on l y been c onst ructed practically the same way, but have rendered on ly ONE service : to a l low veh i cles to trave l from point A to point P - a nd tha t is all ! For 3000 years r oaas have been fi nanced in two ways: (1) by t he taxpayers; and (2) by oriva te individuals who were per mitted to charge a " t oll" to t he road users . The 3000-year-old systems of building and financin~ roads are responsible for our ci ties ' growing l CLTER S1<ILTER and bringing almost incredib le conges tion which p: reatly affects the econo1:1y of the nation. The WALL STREtT JOURNA L of Jan uary 24 , 196 3 , rn an article perta ining to roads , states : �- 2 - "One distribution c onsu ltan t estimated that up to 80 cents of the consumer dollar goes to cover dis tribution costs on s uch products as s ulphur, certain drugs and some cosmetics. "For all U.S. corporations Charles Beard, dire ctor of dis tribution cost for Union Carbide Corporation, figures dis tribution cos t swallows more than $100 BIL LION A YEAR, OR AIJO UT 20% OF THE TOTAL NATIONAL OUTPUT OF GOODS AND SERVICES " (in 1963 ). ( With today 's increase i n the Gros s na tional Prod uct, how much hi ghe r is t he cost t oday th an in 1963?) Roads no t only affect th e consumer' s dollar but also the Government ' s dollar - whether it is Federal, State, or Munici pal . The LOS ANG ELES TI MES of J a nuary 20, 1966 carr ies the headline: "TAXES TOP ISSUE IN GUBERNATORIAL RACE "According to th e State Poll, as of today the State Structure in the St ate of Cali fo rnia appears to be th e ma jor issue in the 1966 Gubernatorial campai gn." Such conditions prevai l not only in all 50 sta t es b ut in every U. S . city, large or small. In recent years the property taxes in t he small city of Santa Monica, like many other cities, were substantially increased. The City of Santa Monica could, ny adopting the de Va ll system of con struct ing roads , reduce taxes and, at the s ame time, have a more "li vable city." Santa Monica can acquire, at no cost to herself, the followin g : (1) the land comprising the two-mile-long sec tion of Highway 101 which runs pa r al lel to the ocean, thus returning it to the tax roll and bringing considerab le new revenue to the city. ( 2) better housing for low-in come fa milies , t he a ged, and public servant.of Santa Monica. �- 3 - ( 3) eliminat ion of the dangerous bottlene ck which the new Santa Monica Freeway has creat ed in Santa Moni ca. At the same time, Santa Moni ca can avoid : (l) t he hi gh cost of building a ca useway (one of the ideas that has been considered for the e xt e nsion of the Santa Honica Freeway ) . ( 2 ) placing the Santa Mon i ca Freeway i n the middle of t he city, whi ch would greatly r educe the tax income to t he city . Moreover , the de Val l road wo uld permit a steady f l ow of traffic , which today is non- existent . The deVall road does not consist of pul l ing rabb its out of a magician 's hat; deVall on l y propos es to adopt already- us e d systems and to adopt the very same systems to today 's technology and ways of doing busines s . Private road finan cing is not new ; some of the best roads in America in the 19th Ce ntury were built by private capital. Private capital built the roads because they brought a profit through " t oll charges " to the road users, who consisted only of auto and truck drivers. on ly through ONE s ervice: Specifica lly, t he profits were produced to pe rmit a vehicle to trave l f rom point A to point B. The de Vall r oad, instead of ONE service, would r e nde r many servi ces , the combined se r vi ces bringi ng considerab l e r e ve nue s . Private capi tal would be an xious to inve s t i n a new proj ec t whe r e t he ir inves t me nt s would bring a good rate of return . On ce the necess ar y c ons ent is ob t ained from Sa nta :1onica , the State of Cal ifornia can p ut up at b i ddi ng the construc t i on o f the deVall r oad on t ha t section of Hi ghway 101 l ocated in Sa nta Mon ica. Cons t ruction companies s uch as Ka i se r, U. S. St eel , Bethlehem , and othe r s · would bid. The winner would b ui ld on the l and whi ch has been granted by t he St ate and the City. �I - 4 - The builders, at completion of the deVa ll road, would receive the total revenue wh ich the road would bring and would pay taxes to the City, State, and Federal Governments. The City of Santa Moni ca can not only incre as e considerably its reven ue but also can acquire many acres of valuab le l and within t he city limits IF it will consi der incorporating some of its agencies and services (such as the pol ice, f ire , and first-aid stations) as an integ ral part of the deVa ll r oad . The city could then mak e an agreeme nt wi t h the b uilders of the road to se cure the needed space free of charge. The city could then easily dispose o f some of t he land and structures in the city where said services are t oday located . The r oad that deVall proposes to be built in Santa Monica is, comparatively, a ve ry simple road. The three- dimensional model of the freewa y that deVall has built re pres e nts a much more complex system; however, it becomes very simple once it is viewed. The structure is provided with mode ls of electric trains, buses, autos, and t r ucks, each of whi ch travels on separa te routes. Access es and exits f or the veh icles c l early show t hat all t he " but s" and "ifs " ha ve been elimin at ed by t he simple proce dure of ha vi ng previously ma de more t ha n 100 experime nt al models, and each one never measured less t han 20 ' x 30 ' . In viewing the mo del, the viewer cannot help reco l lectirg t he h i s t ory of roads in America. I ndians. Whe n t he Pilgrims l an ded, they found t he foo t pat hs of the The Pi lgrims f irst crea t ed the unpaved r oads. A generati on l ater the macadam road evolved, then cemen t r oads. Is it not logical that in the 20 t h Century Ame ri c a ns should bui l d freeways in steel (and cement)? �- 5 - The de Vall model s hows much mor e t han mere roads ; it s hows t hat, in or de r fo r r oads to render t hei r inte nded s ervi ces , whole new cities mus t come into be ing.

Text Any textual data included in the document ROAD CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT IMPROVED IN 3000 YEARS by Guy b. deVall Hermann Schreiber, in his book "Merchants, Pilgrims and Highwaymen: A History of Roads through the Ages," on page 115 wrote: "...for between the roads of ancient Crete (3000 B.C.) and the modern U. S. Highway No. 40 NO MORE THAN UALF A DOZEN TECHNICAL DISCOVERIES HiAVE BEEN MADE THAT ARE OF ANY SIG- NIFICANCE." before we look at a new idea, the words of Thomas Edison in regard to new ideas should be recollected: "Convention requires that we all look at things in the same single way. ‘Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther' is the staid remonstrance of convention. Our very familiarity with a specialized field of experience conditions us to think about it conventionally. We may become so accustomed to doing things in a certain way that it does not occur to us that it can be done in another and perhaps better way." For 3000 years roads have not only been constructed practically the same way, but have rendered only ONE service: to allow vehicles to travel from point A to peint F - and that is all! For 3000 years roads have been financed in two ways: (1) by the taxpayers; and (2) by private individuals who were permitted to charge a "toll'' to the road users. The 3000-year-old systems of building and financine roads are responsible for our cities' growing HELTER SKLLTER and bringing almost incredible congestion which greatly affects the economy of the nation. The WALL STREET JOURNAL of January 24, 1963, in an article pertaining to roads, states: [SS <r eae ae = = - a 3 = ea "One distribution consultant estimated that up to 80 cents of the consumer dollar goes to cover distribution costs on such products as sulphur, certain drugs and some cosmetics. "Por all U. S. corporations Charles Beard, director of dis- tribution cost for Union Carbide Corporation, figures dis- tribution cost swallows more than $100 BILLION A YEAR, OR ABOUT 20% OF THE TOTAL NATIONAL OUTPUT OF GOODS AND SERVICES" (in 1963). (With today's increase in the Gross National Product, how much higher is the cost today than in 19637) Roads not only affect the consumer's dollar but also the Government's dollar - whether it is Federal, State, or Municipal. The LOS ANGELES TIMES of January 20, 1966 carries the headline: "TAXES TOP ISSUE IN GUBERNATORIAL RACE "According to the State Poll, as of today the State Structure in the State of California appears to be the major issue in the 1966 Gubernatorial campaign." Such conditions prevail not only in all 50 states but in every U. S. city, large or small. In recent years the property taxes in the small city of Santa Monica, like many other cities, were substantially increased. The City of Santa Monica could, py adopting the deVall system of constructing roads, reduce taxes and, at the same time, have a more "livable city." Santa Monica can acauire, at no cost to herself, the following: (1) the land comprising the two-mile-long section of Highway 101 which runs parallel to the ocean, thus returning it to the tax roll and bringing considerable new revenue to the city. (2) better housing for low-income families, the aged, and public servants of Santa Monica. 2 a = oo Fes e a= —- = ee 6S Le | a a ee =! ie (3) elimination of the dangerous bottleneck which the new Santa Monica Freeway has created in Santa Monica. At the same time, Santa Monica can avoid: (1) the high cost of building a causeway (one of the ideas that has been considered for the extension of the Santa Monica Freeway). (2) placing the Santa Monica Freeway in the middle of the city, which would greatly reduce the tax income to the city. Moreover, the deVall road would permit a steady flow of traffic, which today is non-existent. The deVall road does not consist of pulling rabbits out of a magician's hat; deVall only proposes to adopt already-used systems and to adopt the very same systems to today's technology and ways of doing business, Private road financing is not new; some of the best roads in America in the 19th Century were built by private capital. Private capital built the roads 4 because they brought a profit through "toll charges" to the road users, who con- sisted only of auto and truck drivers. Specifically, the profits were produced only through ONE service: to permit a vehicle to travel from point A to point B. The deVall road, instead of ONE service, would render many services, the com- bined services bringing considerable revenues. Private capital would be anxious to invest in a new project where their investments would bring a good rate of return. Once the necessary consent is obtained from Santa Monica, the State of California can put up at bidding the construction of the deVall road on that section of Highway 101 located in Santa Monica. Construction companies such as Kaiser, U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, and others ‘would bid. The winner would build on the lend which has been granted by the State and the City. -_o d 8 SS a a a eee ee eee The builders, at completion of the deVall road, would receive the total revenue which the road would bring and would pay taxes to the City, State, and Federal Governments. The City of Santa Monica can not only increase considerably its revenue but also can acquire many acres of valuable land within the city limits IF it will consider incorporating some of its agencies and services (such as the police, fire, and first-aid stations) as an integral part of the deVall road. The city could then make an agreement with the builders of the road to secure the needed space free of charge. The city could then easily dispose of some of the land and structures in the city where said services are today located. The road that deVall proposes to be built in Santa Monica is, comparatively, a very simple road. The three-dimensional model of the Freeway that deVall has built represents a much more complex system; however, it becomes very simple once it is viewed. The structure is provided with models of electric trains, buses, autos, and trucks, each of which travels on separate routes. Accesses and exits for the vehicles clearly show that all the "buts" and "ifs" have been eliminated by the simple procedure of having previously made more than 100 experimental models, and each one never measured less than 20" x 30', In viewing the model, the viewer cannot help recellectimthe histcry of roads in America. When the Pilgrims landed, they found the footpaths of the Indians. The Pilgrims first created the unpaved roads. A generation later the macadam road evolved, then cement roads. Is it not logical that in the 20th Century Americans should build freeways in steel (and cement)? The deVall model shows much more than mere roads; it shows that, in order for roads to render their intended services, whole new cities must come into being. The structures and buildings which were built beside the roads of early America have gone. Only the roads remained. Today the cement pavement is a "tombstone" of the valuable land which it covers. The deVall system merely builds on the "tombstone" and, in so doing, will benefit not only the pocketbooks of all, but the nervous systems and general state of health of all citizens. If today 196 millions of Americans were to land on virgin soil, as America was in the days of the Indians, with their modern tools and machines and with steel and cement, WOULD THEY HAVE BUILT THEIR ROADS AND BUILDINGS AS WE SEE THEM TODAY? Guy Bossini deVall 1007 Sixth Street Santa Monica, California 90403 Telephone: 395-2727 January 26, 1966 P.S. LIFE's January 12, 1962 issue featured an article regarding mass fall- out shelters. The idea of "shelters," although practically ignored today, has net been forgotten in the Pentagon and in the White House. The deVall read would provide not only fall-out shelters (at no cost to the taxpayers) but also an “escape route" for city inhabitants to the sea, where boats or trains could take them to safety. With China a member of the A-bomb club, can we afford not to give consideration to the "shelters"?

Text Any textual data included in the document HOUSING FOR MINORITY GROUPS $200 MILLIONS FOR WATTS== FOR WHAT? ANOTHER AND BETTER GHETTO??? The Los Angeles City Council has woanimously approved a plan for the develope ment and rehabilitation of the Watts community and a 19-square mile section of Southeast Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles Tines, "The aim of the plan, which provides a framework for the furtherance af specific projests in the area, is to bring about a rapid economic and ‘visual rehabilitation’ of the city's master plan." The plen calls for: le <A three-cighths~of-a-mile pedestrian MALL along 1OSrd Street between Compton end Wilmington Avenue. 2e The east side of the MALL to bo occupied by a 2ieacre shopping conter and the wost portion by a meccaks dental, and professional centor. The plan inoludes:s le A ce County Hospital. 2e Gardenetype residential Housing. Se Parks. 4. Reoreation Center. Se Enlargement of existing Public Schools. 6» <A new Civic Center. Whet is wrong with the PLAN? EACH SERVICE IS ENTIRELY SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER? The separate GARDEN-TYPE residential Housing will presumably be safe from being BURNED UP; but oan the samo be said of ALL OTHER facilities? ; | The least discontent - tho loast Truo or Palse accusation against a shopkooeper 4n the MALL or Shopping Center « may spark tho ery "BURN, BABY, BURNS!" In order to prevent disgruntled inhabitents of the aroa from: Setting fires, Looting stores and breaking windows of the same, Dumping garbage into the streets, Throwing Molotev cocktails from rooftops, and Creating othor disturbances, 4t is of vital importance that all facilities (with the exception of the parks) be integrated into the same "structure", as previously Gescribed, in order to prevent fires and riots. The struotural design requires a complete departure from all conventional concepts of the past. To put 16 in a NUTSHELL: ALL of today's existing buildings mist be considered 100% obsolete. An ertirely new departure will provide not only better housing, but also better services at less cost. By "better services" it is not meent better services of one structure but of the entire commmity. Paramount among these is to obtain more efficient police end fire systems with fewer men, thus saving a good deal of money to the taxpayers. Today's system of garbage collecction is dependent upon large trueks which slow traffic in the streets. In the now concept these trucks would be ELIMINATED, thus effecting a cone siderable economy. Where the housewife today places the garbage in a garbage can, in the future she will dump the garbage into a chute (located in the kitchen) leading into a main directly undernoath her habitat. The somplex, which would include housing, schools, movie theaters, restaurants, and coffee shops, would routinely be inspeoted by the Health Department. Any serious’ sanitation offense would not only olose.the restaurants but also any apartment that does not maintain proper sanitary conditions. The Sanitation Inspeotor would be accompanied on his visit by a man (or woman) of the Narcotics Squade Tenants with criminal records, while they will net be excluded from residence, will be kept under strict observation. The DeVall consept will enable the police, for the first time, to police the interior of buildings NOT on foot but on MOTORCYCLES or in AUTOMOBILES. As the polise efficiency inoreases, the number of policemen ean be reduced, thus saving the city treasury millions of dollars. = 4 The novel design of the DeVall structuis will enable tenants to sun themselves in spacious open-air sun patios. The tenants wili also have a MALL 2,500 feot long; olinics, deotors' offices, and pharmacies will also be inoluded. Supermarkets will be found next door to beauty shops, barber shops, and doparte ment stores. All facilities could be reached by the tenants either by car or by foot, or MONORAIL or buses. Parking for cars will be provided in the same structure. The roof of the structure will be used for housing depots for the MONORAIL System and HELICOPTER BUSES. Each square foot, with the exception of the open-toetheesun patio and the MOTOR FREEWAYS, will bring a revonue corresponding to the location within the struoture. Where the structure runs through factory areas, the: rent for apartments will be commensurably low. In more desirable areas the rents will be higher. Welfare recipients will be in the least dosirable locations. It will be an enoouragement to them to improve themselves in order to move to better quarters. The income provided by a multitude of tenants will be sufficient for private enterprise to build on land which has been donated by the oity or state for 99 years. The income from the structure will pay taxes like any other business, thus returne ing the roads to the tax roll, where today they are exempt from tax and render poor services.

Johnson City, Tennesee September 10, 1966 Honorable Ivan All en , Jr., Mayor, City of Atlanta Atlanta Georgia Dear Mayor: I am glad to note that the law has at long last cracked down on one of the Communist dominated Black Power, birds namely Stokeley Carmichael, there is more yet to crack down on , and the sooner it is done the better Ame rican Society will be. I congratulat e you upon the stand you have taken in getting the recent riot quelled in your model Cityo We, a nd all of the Ameri ca n people knows where the blame lies in our Nat ion wide race demonstrations ( the Administra tion in Wa shington,including the Justice Department ) Demonstrations could be stopped almost over night if the Justice Department in Wa shington, would issue an order that no further protection would be given to Demonstration activities, by the FBI Agents, and then the Governor's of States issue the same order that their State Police, and National Guard would not render t o any type of Demonstrators protection, and the Sheriff's Department of Counties, and the City Official's follow with such order like wise , then the demonstrations would immediately cease , Martin Luther King and his gang of thug leaders would not dare stage a demonstration. Butjust as long as the U.S. Justice Dept ., and our State, County and City Governments guard and uphold such demonstrations, (at the Co sts 6f Million of Dollars) then that is just how long the demonstrations will go on.

The man Johnson has gone so far as to show himself on the dance floor holding close to his manly Texas' sized breast a Negress who afterwards said,"he had dreamy eyes"—this same man had to do with 87 votes down South Texas way not so long ago=sure Coke Stemennon was defeated and old Moose Jaw FDR sent in (as usual) Federal gun slingers and ushered his man Johnson into the senate= but we did not like it and we still don't-we don't like another Texas flop named Eisenhower-it seems Texas is glutting the deal with infamy to the lowest degree— — . We are going to have serious trouble in Texas with the Nigger- what they are NOW doing and what they have planned is NOT going to suit Texans as a whole,andwhen things reach that stage the roaring Texans don't seem to mind what LBJ or Lady Boid or the stupid low life Earl Warren might have to say-or even the mental dwarf Bobby Kennedy or any of the offsprings-they just settle it eo ate and maybe there are many Alamos! along with Anahuacs © be met.
