STATE ROADS TO
COST s10,000,000


Baton Rouge. La, Aug. 7.-Recog-
mixing the value OF good roads In the
development OF the state. the Louisi-
ana state highway department is issu-
ing contracts for the construction Of
improved highways which will total
more than s10.000,00O for this year
alone. Plans have been drawn that
when completed will cover Louisiana
with a network OF roads second to
none in the country. Many OF these
roads were started before the United
States entered the European war. but
work was stopped because OF lack OF
material and scarcity OF labor.
Completion of virtually all these
roads which were commenced before
the war Is now under way. While
number Of new improved highways are
being built. or will be commenced
shortly. BY the winter OF 1919, many
miles Of broad hard-surfaced roads OF
concrete or vitrified brick, and many
miles of shell and gravel roads
will be completed. where up to date
have been mere muddy trails, pre-
venting the farmer from realizing the
greatest value out OF his land through
inability to get his crops to market.
and barring him from many of the
comforts Of life because of the In
ability OF the distributors OF these
comforts toa deliver them to him.
The Louisiana system of good roads
was approved by the federal govern
ment Ave years ago, and the State
ialone has appropriated $4,000. 600 this
year for this purpose. Federal contri-
buttons and moneys expended by the
various parishes bring the total to
rather more than $lo.o0o.o0o. Al
present II parishes are constructing
improved highways, at a cost Of APP
Iproximately $4,000 900. These con-
tracts cover 470 miles of new road and
call for completion before the end OF
1919. The parish number OF miles OF
road and estimated cost are as follows;
Pointe Coupee. 3a.s2 miles. $95.9sc;
