GOOD ROADS OF THE COUNTY.
Nearly II Hundred Thousand Miles BuiIt
In the Last Decade,

That remarkable progress has been
made In the building of good roads
throughout the United States during
the past few years Is proven by data
recently obtained by the American
Highway Association, and soon to be
published in the official Good Roads
Yearbook for 1915 1t has been found
that more than $4,000 miles of sur
faced roads have been constructed dur
Ing 1913 and 1914, and that during the
ten-ycar period from 1904 to 1914 more
than $4,000 miles have been completed.
Ihat THIS progress has been really
amazing may be understood from the
fact that In 1904 there were only 49,
goo miles of surfaced roads of all types
In the United States. That the move
ment is attaining momentum as 1t goes
is proven by the fact that while the
average mileage constructed per an
mum during the past ten years Is $500
miles. the total completed for 1914 ex-
show that something like 10000 miles
of highway have been completed with
the aid OF State funds, OF which over
s2oo.000.0o0 have been expended The
State-aid movement began In 1892, and
has. therefore, continued for twenty
two years. Only recently has It gotten
well under way. as the results accom-
pished for 1913 and 1914 comprise a
total Of 10000 miles of State-aid high
ways completed. or in. two years time
one-third of the entire mileage cen
struc,ion with the aid of State funds
has been completed.
Only six States now, out of n total
of forty eight, are without State high
way departments, and thirty States hav e
granted actual money aid to the build :
ing of roads The yearbook. which Is
the Official reference publication for all
good roads Information. is large

PITTSBURGH. PA, January 2-The
steel market continues quiet. The clos

placed and none are expected until
We'll into the new year. Many con-
sulncrs are taking inventories, which
TO some extent accounts for the dull
