STATE HIGHWAY
WORK SEASON 1918

Paul ID. Sargent Of Augusta, chief
engineer of the Maine Highway Com
mission Friday said that during the
past year work had been done on 81
individual sections, amounting to rs
miles of State highway. 4 portion
Of this work WAS begun in 1917 and
completed during 1918, amounting in
total to about 80 miles and the bal
ancc of the work was undertaken in
1918, amounting to As miles. Mr..
Sargent also stated that at the CON
Vention of the American Association
Of state Highway Officials held nj
Chicago last week a review OF work
accomplished by the various states
indicated clearly that Maine had done
more in proportion than most of the
other states. This is partly account
ed for by reason Of the fact that in
some states all material used in high
way construction has to be trans
ported by rail. Many states haul
gravel by rail more than 100 miles,
whereas in Maine it is able generally
% find suitable material within such
distance that it can be handled by
team or truck.
or the new work undertaken in 1918
practically 40 miles WIS completed.
Referring to maintenance, Alr. Sar-
gent said that during the year 1918,
the Highway Commission had direct
ed the maintenance Of 1850 miles Of
road, substantially the entire system
of State and State aid highways. Four

been employed and the total OK
pense of this work will be probably
between 100000 and 100000. OF
which the cities and towns have pai0
about 100000.
Probably not more than four
fifths of the usual amount of State
aid road will be completed, due to
shortage of labor, although Il very
much larger amount of State aid was
applied for this year than ever before
in fact. the total appropriation, which
was increased 100000 by the last
Legislature, and more, was applied
for.
Some provision ought to be made
tor meeting the federal govern.
ment's proposed activity in promoting
road work. said Mr.. Sargent.
The federal aid already allotted to
Maine and what will be apportioned
from the current years federal aid
appropriation will take more than
the total State highway appropria-
ton available for 1919, and this will
leave no money for the highway com.
! mission to spread on sections of State
highway outside OF the federal aid
road. Moreover there is an adj
ministration measure now before
Congress asking for an increase in
the appropriation for federal aid TO
such an extent that Maine would re-
Give this year three times the federal
aid now available, and it is proposed
to increase this sum very materially
during the next three years.
In fact, if the measure passes
Congress as it has been introduced,
in three years from now we would be
having 90 times as much federal aid
as we received in 1917. This would
amount to substantially 100000 per
year. and in order to secure the fed
eral aid which would be apportioned
| to Maine we should have to be pre-,
pared to meet the money of the fed
eral government. This is question
which merits the earnest considera-
ton of every automobile owner and
every user Of the highways of the
State"
