IMPROVED ROAOWAYS
 ALL OVER ARKANSAS
Commissioners Predict that there Will be One Thousand Miles of Con- struction Next IS Months
 To Cost $5,000,0OO.

Little Rock, March 25.-State High way Commissioner Owen and State Highway Engineer Carter visited Stuttgart yesterday to attend mass meeting of citizens called for the puir- pose of considering the organization of road improvement district un- der the provisions of the Alexander bill. They report great activity throughout the state in highway con- struction, under the general and spec ial acts passed by the last legislature. They predict that during the next eighteen months there will be one thousand miles of improved roadway constructed in the state, which will mean the distribution among the peo- pie of the state of at least five mil lion dollars of foreign money.
 One of the greatest projects is that being planned by the citizens of Mil Ter county, who are organizing for the construction of 62 miles of modern highway from Texarkana to Red Riv- CT with bridge at the terminus. This will cost about million dollars. and the road is to be of asphalt or brick, the first county highway of the kind in the state.
 A special election is to be called soon for the construction of thirty miles of highway extending in var ious directions out from Brinkley, Monroe county, the longest road be- ing eight miles in length. It will be built of rock.
 The citizens of Ashdown are fgur- ing on road to Ogden, and there are several other projects for Little Riv- CT county that County Judge Lon T Jones is working out.
 Road Improvement District No. i in Grant county was created by bill put through by Representative Posey The bonds have already been sold, at 9S 1-2 cents, for twenty years, aggre- gating S160,000, and the State Engi- neer is hard at work on the surveys
 Randolph, Poinsett, Faulkner, Craw. ford, Pope, Lee, Jefferson, and many other counties are also working on highway projects.
