Based on complete reports from
A of the States cash expendi-
lures on the rural roads and
bridges of the United States for
the calendar year 1918 amounted
to 1886, 09S,l 1913. To this should
be added the value of statute and
convict labor, which can not be
fixed with any great degree of
accuracy but probably amounted
to not less than S14, 900, 900, thus
making the grand total expendi
lures for the year $500, 900, 600.
This total is made up of the ac-
tual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision
and administration directly con.
nected with the construction, i'm.

roads and bridges outside the
limits of Incorporated towns and

item for sinking fund payments
or redemption aud interest on

The year 1918 offered an I'M

ally all lines of highway work.
There was not only tremendous
increase and expansion IN the
amount of heavy truck traffic on
public roads and an unprecedent-
