in the United States were improved.
This represents gain In the total road

other words. the percentage OF improved
roads has increased during this period
from TIA to $3.50 per cent.
In the three years that have elapsed
since then it is roughly estimated that
the percentage of improved roads has
gone well beyond per cent and pos
sibly close to 10 per cent. 1t IL esd.
