w. O. Griffith. editor Of the Monthly

initial cost Of laying down good

$1,000 per mile. and brick road varies
from $4,000 TO $1,000 per mile. The

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Remarkable Progress Made In United
States During Recent Years.

States During Recent Years
That remarkable progress has been
made IN the building Of good roads
throughout the United States during
the past few years Il proved by data
recently published In the official Good
Roads Year Book for 1915. II has been
found that more than $4,000 miles OF
surfaced roads have been constructed
during 1913 aud 1914 and that during
the ten year period from 1904 20 1914
more than $4,000 miles have been com.
pleted. That this progress has been
really amazing may be understood
from the fact that IN 1904 there were
only $4,000 miles OF surfaced roads Of
all types In the United States That the
movement Il attaining momentum ms Il
goes Is proved by the fact that while
the average mileage constructed per
annum during the past ten years il
e,0oO miles. the total completed for
1914 exceeded $1,000 miles. The report
shows that something like 10000 miles
OF highway have been completed with
the aid Of state funds. OF which over
f2OO.OOOO0 have been expended. The
state aid movement began In 1892 ana
mas therefore continued for twenty.
TWO years Only recently has Il got
well under way. as the results accom-.
pushed for 1913 and 1914 comprise
total OF 10000 miles Of state aid high.
ways completed. or In two years' time
one-third Of the entire mileage con.
