Up to April 80. there had been ap-
proved by the federal office of public
roads and rural engineering LOST
highway projects. These projects
represent 10,5S0 miles of new roads
and improvements to be constructed
throughout the nation, at an estimat-
ed cost of $93.000.000 Under the fed
eral aid act, the federal government
will pay s37.0oo.0O0 Of the estimate,
and the states the balance. These
projects are for the period dating
from the passage of the federal aid
act, in July, 1917.
Increase Each Month.
Thomas H. Macdonald, engineer in
charge of federal aid roads, declared
today that each month shows an in
crease in work done. While Mr. Mac
Donald does not bear the title of di-
rector Of the Office of public roads and
rural engineering, he is nominally
that officer.
Road projects, said Mr.. Macdonald,
were halted by the war. Construc-
ton organizations were broken up
and confusion, in a measure. resulted,
causing a showdown of work With
the armistice signed and soldiers re-
turning, however. he stated, condi-
tions are gradually becoming normal
and work will soon speed up on
projects planned.
Preference for Fighters.
Mr. Macdonald asserted that under
the federal aid act men who have
returned to civil life from the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps are being
given preference of Jobs on road
projects.
