transportation facilities must be
placed in the best possible condition
to meet the certain requirements OF
the not distant future. Montana can
serve the nation in no more effective
way in 1917 than by growing bumper
crops and at the same time providing
the best proctical way of moving
those crops to market. Good ROADS
place the producer and the consumer
within hand-shaking distance of each
other. And the work done on the
states highways now, if properly di-
rected. will not only better prepare
the nation to meet the crisis now
upon us, but will be of lasting bene-
fit to Montana in future years.
Financial Aid at Hand.
1t Is indeed fortunate that finan-
cial aid comes from the government
simultaneously with the movement
in the state to build better highways
BY the passage of the Bankhead-
Shackleford bill, known as the fed
eral aid road act, on July II, 1916
there became available for road con-
struction within the several states
the sum of $5,000,000, or $75,00O,-
900 to be expended within the next
five years. OF the $5,0O0,000 first
available for the fiscal year 1916
1917, Montana's share will be $685.
287. The apportionment will in
crease each year in proportion to the
amount available for each fiscal
year. The Montana share will be ap-
proximately for the year 1918, 5000,
900; for the year 1919, 100000;
for the year 1920, 100000 and for
the year 1921, 100000.
The money can be expended only
through the state highway depart
ment and under the approval of the
department Of roads of the federal
government. The state departments
must provide for the engineering
make all surveys, plans and specifi-
cations, and superintend the work.
In order to obtain use of these
funds the state is required to meet
the government expenditure with a
like amount, that is Montana will be
required to meet the 1916-1917 ap-
preparation with an equal amount
and each year thereafter match the
government expenditure dollar for
dollar. For the sake of economy
the department plans to limit the
number of projects. This will start
program of road construction that
will rapidly develop certain and
definite mileage each year, which
will shortly take some of the burden
of construction of through tonnage
roads from the shoulders of the To-
cal community and distribute it on
the state and federal government.
Under this program Montana will be
limited to not to exceed five projects
at the start.
Definite plans are now being
worked out by the state highway
commission and these will be an
nounced shortly. The federal statute
demands not only hearty co-opera-
ton of the state that receives it's aid
but of the counties in each state
which expect to receive advantages
of the financial help rendered and
the establishment of good highways.
AS before stated cooperation from
the county commissioners and from
the citizens generally is necessary
for success of the big program.
The Ronan pioneer., 1917-05-04

With the state state highway COM
mission appointed and organized; !;
with the country at war with a great
world power, making better highway
transportation facilities an immedi-
ate need; with financial aid from the
federal government at hand and
with equal financial support from
within the state moral certainty
Montana, for the first time in the
Treasure states history, is prepared
to prosecute vigorously we'll
planned and practical program for
improvement of her highways.
Standardization is the watchword
Of the good roads movement of the
state today. And cooperation be-
tween the state highway commission
and the county mmissioners of the
several counties of Montana is not
only earnestly sought by those who
believe the states future growth will
be measured by her highway devel-
opment, but is positively necessary
If the greater food for the greater
number is to be achieved.
States New Highway Laws.
Montana's legislative assembly, at
its 1917 session, passed two import
ant measures which have direct
bearing on all work in future to be
put in motion for better highways in
the state. One bill created a new
state highway commission of IL men,
one to be selected from each of the
II road districts into which the
state is divided. These commission
expenses. The other bill provides
for a considerable increase in auto
mobile licenses, fund to be thus
