these means Of communication, the
Office of Public Roads. AT Washing

act extent and condition, the charac-
ter and the cost of the highways of
the several States. In its issue for

ports on the subject have since been
issued, including the following:
In 1904, California had 1868

miles were surfaced with gravel.
4lS.5 miles with stone. and 2541.5

that there was 029 mile of road per
square mile of area. l mile OF such
road for every 81 inhabitants, and
mile OF improved road for every ! 6S
inhabitants in that State.
| appropriations are made from
time TO time by the Legislature TO
build State roads in mountain re-
gions, all the cost thereof being paid
by the State. Conyicts in the prison
at Folsom are employed in breaking
stone. The crushed rock is sold for
use in concrete work and on the pub
lie roads. The price f. O. u. at Fol-
! som is thirty TO forty cents per ton.
The cost of operating the crushing

New Jersey had 14,Si2 miles OF

these roads 4S1 miles were surfaced
with gravel, 1901 miles were mac

with shells, making a total of 2422
miles of improved road, or sixteen
per cent. of all the roads in the
State. There were in New Jersey
l.97 mile of road per square mile OF
territory, l mile of road for every
127 inhabitants, and for every ~

on these roads the State spent

expended on them that year having
been s3.024, ,S11.25. This includes
1891 ,S31.4S for repairing, mainte
