WHERE VERMONT LEADS

The government reports just issued
show that Vermont is the chief live
stock raising state of New England
and that it is advancing in This direc-
ton remarkably as compared with
other nearby states, With the rapid
increase in the use of motor cars one
might expect to find the number OF
horses decreasing, but the government
assures us that the number in New
England at the present time is 100000,
a gain of 1000 in five years. The
three southern states of this section
have 5000 less horses than half de-
cade ago, but Maine shows an increase
of 1000, New Hampshire 5000, and
Vermont 1000. Rather curiously the
loss in Massachusetts,, Connecticut and
Rhode Island is ascribed to the in
creasing use of the automobile, but
more automobiles per capita are owned
in Vermont than in any of these
states. The total number of mich
cows in New England is estimated az
1926 900, or 5000 less than was record
ed five years ago, and the total num-
Der of "other cattle" is 100000,
against 496, 900 five years before. The
value Of mich cows had advanced
from $4S,16 to s62.3S, and the average
value of "other cattle" is much higher
than before. Figuring The value OF
the dairy cattle at nearly $52,OOO,O0O,
adding the value of the other cattle,
the capital invested in the milk indus
try and other allied industries, one
quickly finds shat the investment in
cattle and other associated businesses
is truly enormous. In five years
Rhode Island showed loss of 1000 in
mich cows, Massachusetts loss OF
Is 900, Connecticut a loss of 5000,
while Maine gained 4,000 New Hamp-
shire 1000, and Vermont 13,0OO.--

Bridge Construction

The small appropriation made for
bridge work, $4,000 annually, places
a narrow restriction on the proportion
of the cost Of bridge construction that
the State can bear and no fund was
available for paying any part of The
cost until 1915. For several years the
State has furnished engineering SER
vices to towns requesting such assist
ance by paying the salary of an engin-
ere to give advice in regard to location
and plans of construction or repairs
and 20 supervise the work. This is an
important feature Of the road work as
the increasing amount of traffic and
weight of loads is making the bridge
problem more serious year by year.
Bridge building is highly technical
operation and engineering advice is
necessary in order to secure safe
structures on the one hand and to
avoid unnecessarily expensive work on
the other. In 1914 up to Oct. list, 2S
towns in the State received free en-
gineering services on bridge work. In
1916 three bridges in Bennington
County were built with funds furnish
ed by the State.
As in maintenance work, the State
supervises all construction toward
which it contributes funds. The
County Supervisor is the representa-
tive of the State Commissioner and
under his control and direction, assists
the commissioner in the administra-
ton of the road work within the
County, laying out, planning and sup
cruising the work, and all work must
be approved by him.

Construction Funds

The returns from Jiie SIdLe ldA VI D
per cent and the money especially
voted in any town and matched by the
State from the 100000 appropriation
constitute joint fund to be expended
under the direction of the State Com
missioner. The selectmen and road
commissioner are consulted regarding
The location of the work and the plans.
The foreman, or special commissioner
to take charge of the work, is appoint
ed by the State Commissioner. Some
times the road commissioner is APP
pointed, but usually not as his time
should properly be given to the main
tenance work.
In planning The work the general
policy is to rebuild the worst spots on
the important roads first, cutting
down the steepest grades, widening
the narrow places, Strengthening the
worst bends and draining or filling the
swanpy locations. The State may
supplement the funds for especially
extensive or difficult work from the
surplus fund, on liberal terms with
the towns. This is frequently done
where the road TO be built is Of much
Importance TO through traffic and of
relatively little importance 70 the
town. For example, in 1914, the
State apportioned nearly $500 from
the surplus fund tothe town. Of Sears
burg for the extension Of the work in
that town on the Bennington-Brattle-
boro route.
