Achievements on Roads ShoUs Importance OF
 Bankhead Pioneer Work
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. December 1o.-(Special) In offering amendments to the existing government good road bill, Senator Bankhead gave to the Senate detailed information as to what had been achieved by money already expended what the new amendments contemplate
 and the provisions of the new amend ments.
 His statement follows:
 i. Since the passage of the federal aid road act in 1916, all of the states have assented to the act and have es- tablished or developed state highway departments with such powers as en- able them to cooperate with the Secre- tary of Agriculture in carrying out the work of road improvement as contem- splatad by the act. An immense amount iof constructive state legislation mas been enacted, legal and administrative difficulties have been eliminated, pro vision has been made on the part of the states and counties to more than meet federal allotments so that all conditions are favorable and all the machinery of operation is in order to carry forward a great cooperative road work in each and every state.
 2. TO November IS, 1918, total of 73O distinct highway projects had been ap- proved by the Secretary of Agrlculture' aggregating 76S9 miles of very impcr- tant roads at an estimated cost of $55,- '7772as, the share of cost to pc borne |by the federal government amounting to $2O, ,900, ,S05.
 8. The great preliminary difficulties having been overcome and effective co- operation having been inaugurated in every state, it would seem logical that the federal government, if it should go further into highway work, should con tinue along existing lines thus realiz- ing more fully the advantages already obtained
 4. The remarkable development of traffic in recent years as shown by the fact that there were upwards of 6,00O,- 900 motor vehicles in the United States, of which more than 500,000 are motor trucks, has served to emphasize the vital and national importance of high ways.
 5. The destructive action of heavy traffic. partly due to war conditions. has caused our highways to deteriorate and this, coupled with the curtailment of construction, has resulted in a who'll ly inadequate highway system which calls for immediate remedial action.
 6. The interstate character of traffic, as well as its excessive volume, render negotiable the placing of the cost bur den on individual states.
 z. Standards of construction should be brought to highest level and conse- quently state and federal cooperation is very desirable.
 8. The annual expenditures for road purposes in the United States in, normal times aggregate fully $300.000,000. By reason of the fact that highway inn provement has been held back during the past two years, large amounts of money have accumulated in state and county treasuries, many bond issues have been held back, and many inn provements which ordinarily would have been made during the past two years will be undertaken in the near
