strating Value Of Coed
Roads to Cou ntry

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct o.
Secretary Houston of the department
Of agriculture says that the state and
federal governments should work to-
gether for highway improvement in
order that large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department the Office
Of public roads has been demonstrate
ing the value of proper road building
by the construction of certain object
lesson roads. and the forest service
is carrying out his idea Of national
and state cooperation in road build
ing. The law requires that ten per
cent of the gross receipts from the
national forests shall be spent in the
states in which the forests are sit
uated. This money is expended for
road improvement under direct con-
troll of the secretary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act. based on the receipts of the ma
tional forests for the fiscal year end.
ing June 80. 1918. is $234,63868. From
the 1912 receipts for this ten per
cent road item there is an additional
$134,831.10, which is still available
In administering the ten per cent
road fund, forest officers charged with
the actual plans and expenditures in
the neighborhood of their forests
have, in almost all cases, secured an
equal or larger cooperative fund
from state authorities for the building
Of certain pieces Of road.
With the money thus expended
many important roads are being built
or put in repair. One on the Wyom-
ing national forest, six miles long,
makes accessible to farmers a large
body of timber and opens up a re-
gion of great scenic beauty. In north
western Arizona, part of the fund will
be used in connection with the LIE
