FEDERAL AID FOR ROAD WORK
Small Amount Paid Out IN 1918 was
Because Of Steps Taken for
Conservation.

Although S14,550,0O0 was available
for expenditure en- the post roads from
the federal aid road act, only $425, 44o
was paid from federal funds In the
highway construction season of 1913
On all projects. The reason for this,
according to the annual report OF the
secretary of agriculture, was the steps
taken to conserve money, LABOR, trans
sortation and materials in highway
work during the war, and at the same
time to facilitate really essential high
way projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work letter was addressed to
each state highway department asking
that a program of federal aid con-

possible date, in which would be in

state highway departments considered

facilities of the country.
At the request of the capital issues
committee, engineers of the depart
ment were made available for inspect
ing and reporting upon proposed high
way and irrigation and drainage bond
issues. Inspections were made of ISL
separate projects, involving total bond
issues of $66.912, 1896. An arrangement
was made with the fuel administra-
ton whereby highways of special i'm
portance should receive enough btu
minous material to provide for ade-
quate maintenance, and where neces-
sary to permit construction and re-
construction. From May ID, 1918,
when the cooperation became actively
effective, until the close of the fiscal
year, 2,235 applications, calling for
100000 gallons of bituminous mate
rial, were received from states, coun-
ties and municipalities. OF this amount
approval was given and permits were
issued for 5S,000000 gallons.
In order to coordinate the activities

and uncertainties, and to provide posi-

The lightest wood is the wood Of am
bach, leguminous plant that grows
near Lake Chad and on the tributaries
of the upper Nile. The tree. which Is
sometimes called the pith tree, often
attains a diameter of six Inches In the
two or three years of Its life. At that
age it dies and another shoot starts
from its roots. When cut the wood Is
almost white and is soft and brittle,
like the pith Of elder.

In this condition butter will not form
