The Act does not mean that the
United States is going into general
road construction in the several states
but that 1t will aid the States in he
construction of certain specified
highways TO the extent of $25, 000, 900
annually, the states to provide o like
amount for the construction of such
roads. In round numbers, there are
about $780, 900 miles of public roads
in the United States and the last year
the expenditures on account Of road
construction made by the States, coun-
ties, townships and districts includ-
ing the estimated value of convict la
Dor, aggregated about $235, 000, 600. 1t
is estimated that the cost of construc-
ton and maintenance amounted to
about $3.50. 900, 900; so that theappro-
priation provided for in the "Shekel-
ford BILL" is very small compared
with the enormous amount required
for road construction in the country.
It is beginning, however, and shows,
at least the progress of the good roads
movement. Last year a similar bill
was passed by the House by an over
whelming majority. The hearings by
the special committee charged with
the work lasted for weeks and the
statement of the Chairman in intro
ducing the witnesses that there is
no question in the minds OF this COM
mittee as to the necessity for improv-
ing the roads Of this country and de-
STABILITY of the government contrib
uting something toward their con
struction and maintenance" became
almost sterotyped. Speeches almost
I without edn were made and in the
present Congress there is none 20
question the necessity of good roads
for any reason commercial, industrial
or social. The main objection made
by members of the present Congress
who spoke against the measur was
the state of the Federal treasury and
the more immediate necessity Of pro
viding for the defense Of the country
against any enemies that might APP
pear.
What the Senate viii do with the
good roads bill remains TO b. seen
The Senate killed the bill last year
and the Senate does not quickly
change its spots. The present bill
has been prepared with the greatest
care aud is theh result of the best
thought OF those who have given
many years study to the subject.
