Federal Government will provide
engineers who shall super wise the
project SO that it may be an object
lesson in the maintenance of good
roads on sufficient scale to attract
general after ton. So far the plan
has met with an unexpected degree
Of success. Over half the counties
covered BY the road system have al
ready applied to cooperate in keep
ing up this model road, and such
wide interest las been aroused thai
civic organizations in Augusta, Saw
annah, Jacksonville, and elsewhere
have requested that the work be ex-
tended to their districts.
Many otter object lesson roads are
being constructed for the purpose of
giving instructions IN proper methods

tor 1915.
The office has also coopsratei witt
States and inlere sted localities in the
improvement OF post roads. EacI

Government. The area of post roads,
object-Iesson, and experimental road
constructed during the year aggre-
gated b91,535 square yards, nearl,
40 per cent more than the total foi

to localities where they might be
suitable. Occasionally. designs pro
pared by bridge companies have been
checked and revie we'd for the beneiii
of local officials.
