prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Although $14,550,000 was available
for expenditure on the post roads from
the federal aid road act, only $425,-
40 was paid from federal funds in the
highway construction season of 1918
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,
transportation and materials in high
way work during the war, and at the
same time to facilitate really essential
highway projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work, letter was addressed to
each state highway department ask
ing that a program of federal aid con-
struction be submitted at the earliest
possible date, in which would be in
cluded only those projects which the
state highway departments considered
vitality necessary to the transportation
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 We're made of 1S1
separate projects, involving total bond
issues of $36,912,396. An arrange
ment was made with the fuel admin
istration whereby highways of special
Importance should receive enough BIZ
luminous material to provide for ade-
quate maintenance, and, where neces-
sary, to permit construction and recon-
struction. From May 10, 1918, when
the cooperation became actively effec-
tive, until the close of the fiscal year,
2,235 applications, calling for 10000
900 gallons of bitumlnous material,
were received from states, counties and
municipalities. OF this amount APP
prevail was given and permits were Is
sued for 5S,O00,O00 gallons.
In order to coordinate the activities
of various government agencies, so far
as they relate to highways; better to

wages hold up and labor seems in
clined to concede nothing on this point
without struggle The result is that
the level of both wages and prices is
likely to depend largely upon condi-
lions of employment or unemploy-
ment.
Investigations by various agencies
show that the ranks of idle workers
are enlarging materially. This is nat
ural in view of the shutting down of
munitions plants and the return of
vast number of men from the govern
ment service. A recent canvass
showed that nearly 40 per cent of the
large cities whose experience was con-
tributed have a surplus of labor to
provide for. But the best brains of
the country is giving thoughtful at
tention to this problem and, among
other things, large public works are
being undertaken which may largely
absorb the surplus labor.

Too often faulty road conditions are
due to too small appropriations in the
endeavor to make a cheap surface en-

cheapest road to build is usually the
most expensive in the end.
