istering the act, has extended its or
chinery. Ten district officers with an
engineer In charge have been estab-
lished in as many areas.
Forty State Projects.
Under the provisions of the act 40
states have submitted 1873 projects in
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, 1850,
have been approved. These projects
involve federal funds to the extent of
$3,455, 573.76, or 23.75 per cent of the
total allotment, S14,550,00O to the
various states for the fiscal year 1917
and 1918. Six projects covering 40
miles have been disapproved. Agree
ments have been entered into or are
in the course of preparation in the case
of "a projects, %aggregating 1877 IA miles
and involving $19O,600.S4 of federal
funds and a total of $2,225. 944.74.
The full effect of the federal aid
road act annot be measured by any
comparison of funds expended in 1915
and made available for 1917, as many
of the legislatures did not meet until
early in the calendar year 1917. 1t ia
significant, however, says the secre-
tary, that while the expenditure Of
state funds in 1916 aggregated $40,-
800, 900 1t is estimated that the expendi-
ture of state funds in 1917 will reach
approximately S60,OOO,OO0, Or an in
cas- of nearly so per cent. These
funds are distinct from local expendi-
lures and indicate an advance in state
participation in highway work.

ResuIt-Annuai Expenditure
of $500, ooo, 900 Involved.

That is the policy which David #.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, be-
lieves should be followed in highway
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 vitality important
from a military standpoint and for the
movement of commodities will receive
priority of consideration in projecting
programs Of construction.
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 cid 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,
h probable cost, the amount Of fed
eral funds desired, b specific purpose
Of the Improvement, its bearing upon
the war situation, n what effect a
delay of the work until 1919 or later
would have. With the information
thus assembled and classified, an eff
cient road-construction program is as
sured. While 1t is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of oad materials, the
expectations are that the transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials
for essential projects can be made.
Expenditure of $500, 100000.
Road construction and maintenance
In the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $300,OOO,O00, and
there is scarcely a section of the
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, 1916, 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 mum
Der of state legislatures of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative ac-
ton in some states wa 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 its ap-
proval; the remaining 10 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. specihc appropria-
lions to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islation 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 five-year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
ton of 1t. The formulation of
carefully prepared plans for the
full period in advance of con-

a statement of the director general of
