STATE HIGHWAY COMM SSION
REPORTS EXPENDITURES
FOR YEAR 1915.
LARGE PART OF WORK
LISTED AS PERMANENT
Total Of s1a,525,ae4 Spent in Improving
Roads and Building Bridses-About
Half Of Sum Went For Bridges
Forty One and Four Tenths Per
Cent of Work Permanent.

Des Moines, June Iowa spent
sl3,525,364 on roads and bridges in
1915, according to a statement pub
lished by the state highway commits
sion in the June bulletin.
The amount invested in the roads
last year has now been definitely de-
. ternined. The first estimate was
100000. But as the reports Of the
county engineers were received. the
amount grew.
The report shows that S6629.252
went into bridges; s3,4oS,G coo to the
county road system and $3,ll,cG0 TO
the township road system.
Permanent Work Increases.
In 1914 the state spent Sll60l,0o0
on roads and bridges: 25.3 per cent OF
the work on roads being permanent and
SO per cent OF the bridge and culvert
work being permanent. In 1915. IA
per cent of the road work was perma- :
nent and ca per cent OF the bridge
work was permanent County enSin :
eering figured 2.75 per cent and the
state highway expense so per cent. a
total of 3.35 per cent for engineering.
lie reason llldi tle amount SpeIlt
last year is reported larger than the
first statement is due to the fact that
investigation by the state highway
commission brought out that the cOun-
ties had not reported s1,1563+l cash re-
ceived and expended on the roads and
brid ICES. One county reported S16.Gl2
collected in the county road fund This
was investigated and it was found that
in reality the county had c"
slS.6la and sl3,Si0 auto taxa total OF
$3.50
Another county reported $3,25I col
lected in the county road cash fund.
1t was found that the amount actually
collected was si9!642.
The commission SAYS:
Cost Is Decreasing.
During 1915 there were 1921 miles
of road constructed to permanent
grades at a cost of s61S,l3S. or 1885
per mile; 1853 miles Constructed TO
temporary grades at a cost of $242,S
or sSS2 per mile: .2s5S.S miles con
structed to natural sra des at cost OF
s359.265 or sl32 per mile: lS2 miles
We're hard surfaced and 1900 miles
were dragged an average OF twenty
nine times. at an average cost of sO.7l3
per mile one round trip.

when my little brothers trouble began
II looked rough and scaly and we thought
that he was breaking out with the heat.
At first 1t was just across his forehead. but
1t kept spreading into his hair and was very
red. 1t itched great deal which caused
him to scratch and he was very cross and
would often lie awake nights. His hair fell
out and made his head look very badly.
I'VE had him treated but it seemed to
make him worse. He had the trouble about
four months when I sent for free sample Of
Gusicura Soap and Ointment. and after
wards bought more. We used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment according TO directors
and in about two weeks he was completely
