ROAD BUILDING is BOOMING
Steady Increase In Federal Aid Busl'

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture.)
Since early In 1910 there has been
q 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
1t 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 $2S6.09S, 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 $14,0O0,0O0. thus making the
grand total expenditures for the year
$500, 100000. This total is made up Of
the actual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision land
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 sinking-fund pay.
ments or redemption and interest on
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1913 offered an unprece-
denied condition in practically all
lines of highway work. There was
not only a 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 decided increase in main
tenance work, which was. however,
partially Offset by decrease In the
amount of new construction.
