GREAT PROGRESS IN
ROAD BUILDING
MORE THAN ,sOg MILES or HIGH
WAYS CoNSTRt CTED DURING
THE YEAH.

. That remarkable progress has been
iusde IN the building of good roads
throughout the United States during
he past few years is proven by data
recently obtained by the American
Highway Association and soon to be
Published ia the official Good Roads
Year Book for 1915. IL has been found
mat moro than 81. 00n miles of sur
faced roads have been constructed dur
Ing 1913 and 1914 and that during the
ten-vear period from 1904 to 1914,
more than $4,000 miles have been com
pteted. That this progress has been
really amazing may be understood from
thc fact that Iva 1904 there were o1ly
$4,000 miles of surfaced roads Of all
types in the United States. That the
movement is attaining momentum as II
goes Is proven by the fact that while
the average mileage constructed per
aunum during the past ten years Is
g SOC miles, the total coInoleted for
1919 exceeded i 3 200 miles The report
VIII show that SON ething like 10000
miles of highway have been completed
with the aid of STATE funds, of which
over 5000, 100000 have been expended
The state aid movement began in 1882.
and has, there fore, continued for TWEEN
ty two years. Only recently has II
gotten well under way as the results
accomplished for ttl3 and 1914 COM
prise total OF 10000 miles of State
aid highways completed. or in two
years time tne-third of the entire
mileage constructed with the aid of
state funds has been completed.
