Road building authorities are pre-
dieting that 1919, 1920 and 1921 will
prove the greatest in the country S
history in the matter of road con
struction In view OF the unprece-
denied appropriations of funds for
federal aid for road projects and the
activities Of the states in extending
their road building programs the pre-
diction appears TO be fully justified,
The division of public works and
construction developments of the
United States department of labor is
authority for the statement that there
has been a revision and enlargement
of road building plans in almost
every state in the Union since the
signing of the armistice This is due
not only to the pressing need for good
road construction, which has bden
suspended during the war except
where construction was essential to
military activities but also to the OBJ.
vious desiralility land prudence of
getting public works under way so
there may be such a demand for la
Dor as will absorb the labor surplus.
Intimate Labor Shortage.
Ultimately there will be a labor
shortage in the United States. At
present there is a surplus, and this is
apt to grow to embarrassing proper
tons during the next few months of
rehabilitation if no conscious effort
is made TO Immediately revive build
ing and construction activities to pro.
vide buffer employment until our in.
dustrial REIMBURSEMENT has been com
pleted. Quite as important is the eff.
feet of an immediate acceleration OF
construction work on general business
conditions. Federal, state and mum
icipal construction projects building
activities, will be potent stimuli for
general business and will prevent the
stagnation which would spell com
mercial disaster
Federal aid for road construction
for 1919, 1920 and 1921 has been pro
vided on a more liberal scale than
ever before. If millions of federal
funds are not absorbed by the state
in state road projects, it will be nc
fault of the federal government. Mil

High Costs Inevitable.

Il is admitted in the department of
labor that present construction costs
are much higher than the pre-war lev
ell In part this is accounted for by
freight rates on road materials estab-
lished during the war to prevent the
movement of these materials for
work other than government work.
There is every reason TO believe these
rates will be revised at once. The
effect OF such revision will be favor
able to reduced construction costs.
but most authorities are agreed that
pre- war prices in this field will not
be re-established The condition of
our currency and the generally higher
price levels turnout the world, so
these authorities assert, will not per

these reasons present construction
