use, marking the completion of plan
ming and supervisory work done by
engineers Of the Bureau of Public
Roads of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for the military authori-

Camp Humphreys is the longest mill
tary highway outside of environments
that has been planned and supervised
by engineers of the bureau, although
the total construction planned and SUI
pervised by these engineers aggregate
several hundred miles and covers
practically all the recognized types Of
construction, from sand clay to first

construction were detailed to military
work by the bureau in July, 1917, the
period of their assignments varying
from to 10 months.
