COST OF NEW ENGLAND ROADS.
Vermont in Fourth Place as to Amount
of EXnenditureS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Expendi-
lures for road Improvements in the
New England states in 1914 showed
increases over such expenditures in
1904 ranging from 10 per cent in Rhode
Island to nearly 205 per cent in Massa-
chusctts, according to road statistics
for the section just published by the
office of public roads and rural en-
gineering of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, III department
bulletin No. 3Ss. The total for 1914
was $l5,l35, 166.0l, and for 1904 ST.
3S3, 1870. OF the expenditures in 1914
Massachusetts spent more than $4,000
600 and Connecticut over $3.640.00
The approximate expenditures for the
remaining states were: Maine, 2,642,-
900; New Hampshire, $1,590,00O; Yer
mont, $l,024,000; and Rhode Island,
$446 800.
The surface roads Of the six states
had an aggregate length Of 1S,036.7S
miles January |, 1915. This was 20.s0
per cent OF the total road mileage
which was SOILS. While the percent
age of improved roads il a trihe less
than that given in the statistics gath
cred III 1909, this merely Indicates, in
the opinion Of federal roaJir, specialists
that the present statistics are more
nearly accurate and not that there has
been any lack Of growth in the road
/, systems of the section
The statistics show that nearly 10
per cent of the improved roads in New
England are bituninous macadam, Il
per cent macadam, % per cent con-
crete, and .ol per cent brick APP
proXimatelv go per cent of the i'm
proved highway is surfaced with
gravel. OF the six states, Massachusetts,
has the greatest percentage of sur
faced roads January l, 1915, - 1858
! per cent. Nearly - per cent of this
surface mileage was bituminous macad-
am. This was approximately nine times
| the mileage of bituminous macadam
in New Hampshire, the state having
| the next greatest of this type Of road.
| Road and bridge bonds to the amount
| Of $40, 565, 522 50 were outstanding III the
| SIX New England states January l.,
1915. OF these, all but 1906, 022.s2 of
| town bonds in Massachusetts were
state obligations. All the New Eng
land states now have highway depart
lnents and apply state funds to the aid
of road Improvements, the report
| shows. The report is the second OF
/ five reports on public road mileage and
revenues in 1914. covering the various
sections of the United States.

Of the most important measures which
will demand its attention now or at
any other time during the delibera-
tions. At some sessions of Vermont s
lawmakers many of the most important
measures have been held until the very
close of the session, when their scant
consideration meant hasty legislation
utterly ineXcusable.
The present legislature has started
off with a considerable number of
measures well in hand. including the
bill for the reorganization of the de-
partment of agriculture and other i'm
portant matters, and if the present
rate is maintained, the closing DAYS OF
the session ought to see no foolish
virgin legislation. Indeed, if any i'm
portant bill is presented when it can
not be carefully considered. the law
maker will have Just right to regard
its appearance at that time with sus.
picion that its projectors did not be
lieve it could stand the full light of
| day when the body as a whole would
have time to examine it carefully.
| In any event, the session has opened
auspiciously for the success of the idea
to put both the administration and the

believe the good work will be kept ur
| by the wide-aWake men constitutina

TWO-CENT LAW UPHELD.
Judge Landis's Decision Makes the
Rate Lower

CHICAGO, aIan. 16. - Authority Of
the state of Illinois to fix railroad
rates within its own borders was up
held in the United States district
court, when Judge Lands dismissed,
railroad companies, asking an injunc
tion against the enforcement of the
two-cent annie passenger rate. The
railroads announced they would appeal
the ease to the United States supreme
court. The ruling of the higher court
will directly affect ten other states
where two-cent passenger rates are
now in effect In deciding the case,
Judge Lands said:
ct is my opinion and conclusion
that there is no earthly power, no pos
sible power in the interstate commerce
commission, under the guise of reliev-
ing ST. Louis and Keokuk of discrimi-
nation, to repeal the Illinois two-cent
fare law -
a committee of seven railroad attOr-
neys and passenger traffic managers
left for Washington Saturday TO apply
to the interstate commerce commission
| for suspension of the order requir
ing the railroads to put into effect al
once the new tariff of "a cents a mile
| pending the outcome of the appeal OF
the railroads.
! As a result of Judge Lands s de
cision, the railroads are left in pc
/ culiar position. The interstate com
merce commission has ordered a 81
cent rate, while the state legislator,
has decreed that a two-cent rate shall
be charged.
