tration and licensing of motor ve-
hicles should go toward maintaining
the State Highways.
An appropriation of $12,000,00
will be requested from the Legislature
specifically for the purpose OF con-
struction. This, of course, will cover
the two-year period and will mean six
million dollars worth of State High
way construction during the l9l
working season.
The Department feels that at the
present time this is all that can be
handled in an economical manner. A
careful and minute study OF trathc
conditions throughout the entire
State has been made by the Depart
ment and the aim will be to expend
whatever appropriation is given to
the Department in the manner best
calculated to meet the traffic require
ments of all kinds in the various
counties of the State.
State Highway Commissioners
Black, moreover. has announced that
whatever appropriation for construc-
ton purposes is received will be ap-
portioned pro rata among the coun-
| ties of the State, based on the mileage
of unimproved roads in the counties.
This policy will insure an equitable
distribution, whereby the counties
WHICH nave nOL UGTeIOlOTe hluSAi
construction work done within their
limits will be, insured a greater mile
age of improved highways. Commits
sioner Black considers that no other
method of proportionment would be
as fair and just as would this.
f While, as said before. the amount
of construction done on State High
ways during the past two years has
been limited, that which has been
done has been the result, in nearly
every instance. of an awakened spirit
in the State, recognizing the need of
public cooperation in the improve
ment of highways. Recognizing the
fact that the appropriation given by
the 1915 Legislature was inadequate
for purposes of State Highway con-
struction, IL Governor Brumbau sh' S
policy of highway maintenance was
to be carried out. public-spirited citi-
zens in various parts of the State be-
gan making inquiry as to what could
be done to assist the State in the con-
struction of highways.
State Highway Route 159, an inn
portant connecting road in Lehigh
and Northampton counties. extending
from the City of Allentown through
Bethlehem to Easton, was in need OF
immediate repair. This highway ira
verses the heart of the Portland Ce-
ment industry in Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA. When a delegation from these
two counties visited the State High
! way Department with a plea that the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-02-15

and necessary immediate repairs were
made. There was a great improve
ment in the method of maintaining
earth roads. Dust-laying oils and bltu-
minous surface treatments were given
to hard surfaced highways to prevent
further disintegration, due to vehicu-
lar traffic and to the action of the
elements. Weakened bridges and cul-
verts were strengthened and repaired.
Worn-out drains were reset and, In
general, the roads of the entire state
Highway System were refurnished
and regenerated.
This condition existed throughout
the working seasons of 1915 and 1916.
The Legislature of 1915 had made an
appropriation as generous as was
possible from the condition of the
States revenues. This appropriation
was sS,300,000, of which $6.OOO,OOO
was for the maintenance, care and
Improvement of State Highways
This. of course, was for the two-year
period, which all legislative appropri-
ations cover, and meant $3,0OO,O0O a
wear for this work This sum, equit-
ably divided among the 10000 miles
of roads, gave less than $500 a mile
for road work and the State High
way Department feels that with this
low fipure ALI that possibly could be
expected was done for the improve
ment of the highways. The rest OF the
$4,000, 900 total appropriation made
cific purposes. $1,500,000 of 1t went
toward the repayment of the town
ships of the cash tax bonus. s50O,0oo
was for the States share in State-aio
construction. $250,000 was for the
acquisition by purchase or condemna-
ton of toll roads and $4,000 for the
maintenance and reconstruction OIL
the Old National, or Cumberland
Road. the only highway every con.
structed by the Federal Government
prior to the passage of the Federal
Aid Road Bill at the last session OF
Congress.
The State Highway Department
faces the 1917 working season strong
ly imbued with the hope that the
Legislature of 1917, on the recon-
mendation of His Excellency, the
Governor, as expressed in his mes
sage, will be able to furnish finances
sufficient for an era of constructor
work on State Highways.
The Legislature has under consid-
Grafton a bill for a dedication OF the
automobile license fees to the De-
partment. These fees, which have
been increasing by leaps and bounds
every year, will approximate. 1T is ex-
pected. the three million dollar mark
in 1917. Should this sum be realized

road be improved, it was suggested to
them that they interest the cement
industry and that a plan be devised
whereby cooperation in the building
of this highway could be extended to
the State. The hint was taken. The
Portland Cement Association offered
to the State Highway Department 40,-
600 barrels of Portland cement for
the construction of a concrete high
way over this road. Public-spirited
citizens of Lehigh and Northampton
counties contributed the necessary
stone. A traction company, whose
tracks parallel the road, volunteered
to contribute the hauling of the ma
terials for the improvement of the
road and the State Highway Depart
ment accepted these offers in the
spirit in which they were made and
agreed to construct this important
connecting highway. The work was
done under the Maintenance Division
forces, 3.45 miles being completed
during the working season of 1915
and the balance of the road, between
Easton and Bethlehem, being finished
in the 1916 working season. During
1917 the connecting link between
Bethlehem and Allentown will be
closed in.
In Chester and Delaware counties
one of the main thoroughfares is
state highway Route 1ol, Detter
known locally as the Old Baltimore
Pike, this road following. in part, the
lines of the first road laid out in a
southwesterly direction from Phila-
delphia to the Maryland State line. A
committee of citizens in Delaware and
Chester counties collected by private
subscription the sum of $4,000,
which they offered to the State High
way Department on condition that the
Department would construct Route
131 as an improved highway. The
offer was accepted. The work was
placed under contract and is nearing
completion.
These two examples of public CO.
operation have had their effect in
other parts of the State. Many coun-
ties have pledged themselves through
their Commissioners to cooperate
with the State Highway Department
In the construction of State Highways
