$s5o,ooo FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF, THE NATIONAL PIKE,

Fairmont autobilists will he in,
terestel in learning that the Pennsyl'
yania legislature during the last. few
hours of its session appropriated $780,.
900 for the improvement of the National
Pike. This means that after the auto
mobilist from this State crosses the
Pennsylvania State line he will strike
Yeritable boulevard after this money
is expended on Improvements.
The sum Of $350,OOO has already
been appropriated by the State since
tho road was taken over by the act Of
assembly. The legislature Of 1905 ap-
propriated 100000. the legislature OF
1907 appropriated 100000, and that
OF 1909, $l5O,OOO, making total OF
$35O,OOO. If the present bill goes
through the National road Will have
had 100000.
Nearly all of the first appropriation
was used for the construction and re-
pair of bridges or about $4,000. Dur
ing the past few years about seven
miles Of road have been permanently
improved in Washington county, lit.
tie over four miles west of Washing
ton, one mile east and between two
and three miles west of Brownsville.
About the same number Of miles have
been constructed or is under contract
in Fayette county and 10 miles in
Somerset, 16 1.2 miles in all, at cost
OF about $215,00O. 1t Is believed that
the S35O,OOO additional will complete
the road now unimproved with brick
between Washington and Uniontown.
This is undoubtedly the most trav-
eled portion of this great highway
and would give a continuous improved
road for over 40 miles as several miles
have been improved within what are
the borough limits OF both Washing.
ton and Unlontown.
Washington county has about as
much mileage on the National road as
both Fayette and Somerset combined.
1t is estimated that the $35O,O0O ex-
pected will build about 80 miles. About
$62 1000 has been spent in maintenance.
