 Southland Highway, also provided for Special Act of the legislature in February, 1919, will cost, it is es- timated, about $150,000. This road will be let this fall. c. H. Vineyard A. G. Burke and H. c. Moelford are the Directors
 The city of Helena has formed a street improvement district and will pave every street and alley not al- ready improved. The contract has been let to the Southern Bitulithic Company and the work will cost more than $500,0o for paving alone. Drain age will add $250,000 to this figure. The work comes under the Common Law and only allows an expenditure of thirty per cent of assessed valu- ation. The cost of this work is not included in the $3,734,0O0 Phillips County will spend for roads.
 The cost of these roads is met by what is known as "betterment tax and by the land tax. The State High way Commission gives as much to the construction of these roads as is within it's power.
 We have a county tax of three mills on every dollar of assessed land valuation, which we have used for maintenance. This amount will be employed for improvements until the road system has been completed.
 The County has TOO miles of dirt roads, and the tax mentioned above has been sufficient to meet mainten- ance costs on these highways.

est in the project. The first petition was filed in 1914 in the County Court. But then came the war. Construction came to standstill.
 With the exception of 2 miles of 18-foot concrete road from Helena south to Helena Crossing, which was built by small improvement district, Stat Aid and donations from County, City and private sources at a cost of $50,000, nothing was done until 1915. In that year the Helena-West Helena road, 6 1-2 miles of highway, was formed into a road district, and in spite of war conditions, was improved at a cost of $192,000, of which the State Highway Commission paid 25 per cent. This road is an 18-foot Topeka mix on top of 5-inch con- crete base. It was completed and opened for use in August of this year This highway, begun under the most adverse conditions, is the first in the improved system which Phillips Coun- ty will have in the near future
 In January and February, 1919, the Arkansas Legislature formed our other road districts. Among these was the Helena -Marvell Road  District. John L. Turner, s. L. Cook Victor Neuman, Joe Eddins and Ed Molitor were made Directors. At this time the limit of cost was removed in and on all districts formed in Phillips County. This road from West Helena to Marvell, 34 miles in length will be a 14-foot highway of Warrentine construction. 1t has been let to the Southern Bitulithic Com pany, of Nashville, Tenn, and will cost S1,200,000.
 The Helena-Ferguson road was formed by a special act of the Legis- lature with all restrictions removed as to cost and type of road. s. s. Straub, J. M. Counts, W. F. Craggs, o. D. Howa and Lafe Soloman are the Directors This will be 63 miles of 14-foot concrete and will cost $1 ,700,- 900. The contract was let to J. A. Burt, Guneeson, Miss.
 The Helena-Old Town Road, which was started under the Common State Law in 1907, and surveyed at the time had to wait for Special act of the Legislature in February, 1919, as the cost was beyond the amount al- lowed by the law. This Contract has now been let to the Southern Bitulith- ic Company, and will cost S442,000. It will be IA miles of .14-foot War

Phillips County Makes Vast Expenditures
 For Highways

of Phillips county, Arkansas is pub lished in this paper in order to show readers of The Journal what other counties of the State are doing in the matter of Road building
 Phillips County, Arkansas, has talk en it's place among the most progress sive good-roads counties in the United States. Realizing the need for better highways, the people of this County placed themselves solidly behind the movement to pull their part of the State out of the mud forever.
 With a population, according to the census of 1910 of 33,535, Phillips County has pledged $3,734, 900 for inn proved roads Figuring that the pop ulation of the County today is 50,000 and that the amount to be expended will reach $3,750,000, the tax per cap ita will amount ot $75.
 Compare this with the $60,000,0 900 bond issue recently voted by the State of Illinois: Illinois, according to the last census, had a population of B. 638,591, which today has probably reached the 6,000, ,000 mark Consid- ering that to be the case, the people of Illinois will be theoretically taxed $10 each for highway improvement in the next several years.
 When present contracts are com pleted Phillips County will have 11712 miles of hard surfaced roads. These roads will blanket the county, connecting all important centers of population To date, nine miles of highways have been built.
 The history of the good-roads movement in Phillips County cannot fail but to be of interest to other counties, and to states as well, that are today legislating for good roads.
 In 1911 and 1912, which years mark the beginning of the movement, it was my privilege to be commission CT of Phillips County. At the time I worked out system of 143 miles of improved roads and aroused inter
