SOUTH CAROL INA ROAD COST
State 1s Far Behind Most Others in
Amount Spent for improvement
Of Its Highways.

There r now only four states in
the Union that have not enacted laws
providing for state aid for good roads
work. One of these states is South
Carolina, the others being Indiana,
Mississippi, and Texas. These three
other states. however, are above South
Carolina in expenditures for road
work. Indeed, according to informa-
ton which has been received at Glenn
son college from the United States
department Of agriculture, this state
cannot boast of its record in road
work and is considerably behind most
Of the other states Of the Union in this
respect.
In 1914. South Carolina spent ST.
DOC, 900 on road work, this money COM
ing from local funds of counties, town
ships, and districts. There were no
expenditures by the state and local
units jointly, or by the state alone.
In the same period, Indiana spent $751;
258,761 and Iowa spent $11, 1868 900. Nor
does South Carolina compare we'll
with ever the other southern states.
AS against this states $1,000, 900,
North Carolina spent $3,930,0O0. Geor-
gfa, $2,500,000; Alabama, $2,795, 900;
Mississippi, 1885, 900; Tennessee,
$2,500,000; Texas, $%3,750,OO0. In fact.
the only states on the list which are
not above South Carolina in road ex-
penditures are the undeveloped states
Of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah, and Wyoming; and the diminu-
tive commonwealth Of Delaware,
bod Island, and Vermont.
The total of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 1888 miles. In this
respect, the state compares favorably
with many, since it's percentage of
surfaced roads is 17.3, making it the
