plated for this country during lSl9'
This, it is felt, is a conservative esti-
mate, as the actual expenditures dur
ing 1916, the last year Tor when com
piete records are available, showed a
total Of $272,6S4424, and It is known
that many projects are held UP ouri"e

urged that with system OF such ROADS
1t will be far easier to obtain eXten'

press systems, which have now beer
tried out on limited scale and proven
satisfactory.
Some time ago inquiries were SEM
out to the various state highway com
missions asking for estimates on the
probable permanent road work contem
plated for such states during this year
Some of these have sent in reports, al
though the list is by no means com
pete, The Southern states reporting
together with the estimated amount II
each, are: Alabama. 100000; Ken
lucky, $1,000, 900; West Virginia, SIG,
100000; Louisiana. $4,674,OO0; Texas

total amount which will be spent TO
this purpose during the next few. year
will not be less than billion dollars
As fully one-half the amount so ex
pended will be for labor, efforts ar
being made to induce the returning
soldiers to take up roadbuilding as on
of the Industries to which they cal
well afford to direct their attention.

NEW YORK, Jan. 49, (Spl)-The Y.
NJ. C, A. has no fund of 100000, 900
unspent, and is today operating on bor-
rowed money, declared John R. Mott,
chief executive of the Y. NJ. c. A.

the dispatch of Edwin l.. James, pub
lished in the New York Times. which
gave the reasons why the Y. NJ c. A.
was unpopular with the American SOL
diers.
THE very first thing that impressed
me with Mr.. James story" he said,
was the fact that people reading it
would get the idea that the Y, NJ. c.
A. is rolling in money and that it is
likely to have a surplus. The facts arc
these: We had used up by Oct. last
all of our fund, which was so gem
erously given by the American people
in our financial drive of the autumn
of 1917. We then had the united wal
work campaign of November last. and
in the interval between the campaigns
we had to conduct our vast work on
borrowed money"
