Prior to 1911 there was no state
highway fund, but state aid in the
form of free use of state convicts un-
der the direction Of the Board OF
State Engineers by several of the
parishes was inaugurated as early as
1909, and it was this work which
served as a practical demonstration
of what real highway improvement
meant and what intelligent engineer
ing provision could accomplish as COM
pared to the old system of dividing
the road funds among the several
wards Of each parish to be expended
by parties who had no idea of what
highway engineering meant, and who
frittered the money away in an en-
deavor to keep up the eternal patch
work system of the past.
In 1910 the legislature passed a
law creating state highway depart
ment with an appropriation Of $780,
900 per annum net. The new depart
ment was placed under the supervis-
ion of the board OF engineers. With
this new department and the funds ap-
propriated, Louisiana has made a
wonderful stride in the matter of
building good roads. The recent tax
commission recommended to the legis-
lature that the sum of $25O,O00 per
annum be set aside for the purpose Of
good roads.
While Louisiana has always been
behind in road building. the new spirit
OF progress will soon carry the state
into the vanguard Of the good road
states.
