Under the provisions of the act 40

volving a total of approximately 1,730
miles, according to the secretary's re-
port. OF this number 139, embrac-
ing 1882 miles and calling for an es-
timated expenditure including federal,
state and local funds of $7,947, 114.50,
have been approved. These projects
involve federal funds to the extent of
So, 5,573.76 or 23.75 per ceRt of the
total allotment, $14,550,000 to the
various states for the fiscal year 1917

The full effect of the federal aid

comparison of funds expended in 1916
and made available for 1917, as many
of the legislatures did not meet until

significant, however, says the secre-
tary, that while the expenditure of
state funds in 1916 aggregated $40,'

That is the policy which David F.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, be-

construction during the war. 1t means
that road building in the United States
will be put on a war basis; that the
highway which is yitally important
from a military standpoint and FOR the
movement. of commodities win receive
priority of consideration in projecting
programs Of construction. mIRW
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by the
Office of public roads of the depart
ment of agriculture, schedule forms on
which the states are requested to set
forth their proposed federal aid work
for the 1918 working season. These
schedules call for a description of
each road, the character, quantity and
rail haul Of the materials to be used,
the probable cost, the amount of fed
eral funds desired, the specific purpose
of the improvement, its bearing upon
the war situation, and what effect a

thus assembled and classified, an eff
cient road-construction program is as
Sured. While it is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of road materials, the
expectations are that the ~transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment Of such materials
for essential projects ear be made.
Expenditure Of $soo,ooo,ooo
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $3OO,OOO,O 900, and
there is scarcely a section Of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by a
marked disturbance in road work.
In the administration Of the federal
aid road act of July IL, 1915, which
provides for cooperation between the
federal government and the states in
the construction of rural post roads
and of roads and trails within and
partly within the national forests,
very satisfactory progress has been
made by the department of agricul-
ture, according to a recent report Of
Secretary Houston. The office Of pub

STATES SPEED OP-
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL -
AID ROAD ACT.

Probably the most significant
result thus far Of the operation
Of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der Of state legislatures Of ehec-
tive road laws. Legislative ac-
ton in some states was neceS-
Sary to meet the requirements
Of the federal act, but many Of
the states have gone further
and have recast their highway
policies. All the states have as
scented to the provisions of the
act-42 by their legislatures
and six by their governors.
Thirty-three had a highway de-
partment within the meaning Of
the act upon the date Of it's ap-
proval; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation Great
ing highway departments which
comply with the terms of the
law. The highway departments
in Is states have been greatly
strengthened, specific appropria-
tons to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islatfon has been enacted in
nine states. Forty-two states
now have satisfactory mainten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
Or programs of work for the en-
tire fve-year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
ton Of it. The formulation Of
carefully prepared plans for the
full period in advance Of con-
struction tends to prevent waste

THE GREATER DANGER.

The state and city boards of health
have exercised rightly their authority
in closing public places to prevent the
spread of influenza; and we commend
them for their prompt action.
There is, however, another step to
be taken, which is even more import
ant and urgent than this dipersing Of
indoor crowds, the sterilization OF
glasses at soda and other cold drink
emporiums of this city.
Where person may not be apt to
catch the infection from mere prox-
unity to one suffering with the dis
ease, that person will be most certain
to take the disease if his lips and
mouth come in contact, On the edge Of
la drinking glass, with the germs left
there by one using it while affected.
This is an urgent, and entirely g
sanitary matter, and should be put in.
TO order at once. There is no use tax.
ing any half way steps to guarc
against this disease. If we are going
to shut it out let us shut all doors
and not leave open the most danger
ously wide avenue for it's entrance
