Steady Increase in Federal Aid Bust

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Since early in 1919 there has been
a steady increase each month in the
federal aid business in the bureau OF
public roads Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. States in all
sections of the country are filing their
projects and receiving allotments. The
bodybuilding era is in full swing, and
it would seem that the end is not yet
All indications point to greater rec
ords in the months Immediately to
come.
Based on complete reports from "A
OF the states cash expenditures on the
rural roads and bridges of the United
States for the calendar year 1918
amounted to $2S6,O9S, 1913. To this
should be added the value of statute
and convict labor, which cannot be
fixed with any great degree of ac-
curacy but probably amounted to not
less than $140O0,000, thus making the
grand total expenditures for sthe year
100000. This total is made up of
the actual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision and
administration directly connected
with the construction. Improvement
and upkeep of public roads and
bridges outside the limits of incorpo-
rated towns and cities, and does not
include any item for sinlling-fund pay
mentS or redemption and interest on
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unprece-
dented condition in practically 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
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials. labor and ready funds,
but also a decided increase in main
tenance work, which was, however,
partially offset by a decrease in the
amount Of new construction.

cross braces have their ends fitted into
auger holes like rungs.
In fastening the draw-chain to a
sawed-lumber drag, it is usually advis-
able to run both ends of the chain
through holes in the front runner or
else make the connections by means
of eye or hook bolts, as shown. The
reason for this is that the sawed cross
braces are seldom sufficiently strong
