INCREASE IN COST
OF ROADS SHOWN
Appropriation for Upkeep of
Suburban Highways Re-
ported Inadequate.

Although this years appropriation
for repairs to suburban roads is no
higher than the amount spent on that
work last year, the cost of upkeep on
these outlying thoroughfares has in
creased more than 20 per cent over
last year, Maj. F. S. Besson assistant
engineer commissioner, estimated today
Last year Congress allowed 100000
for suburban roads, but it became
necessary to get two deficiency appro-
priations amounting to $4,000, which
brought the total for the year to
$255,000.
Appropriation Available.
The appropriation this year for SUBJ
I'll ban roads is S250,00o, which makes
no allowance for the advance which
has taken place in the cost of work
since last year.
That appropriations for suburban
road repair during the past few years
have fallen far short of keeping pace
with the cost of the work is shown by
the fact that in 1913 $4,000 was ap-
propriated for suburban roads.
The amount available for suburban
roads could be spent by Christmas, it
was pointed out at the District build
ing, but that would leave nothing for
the remaining six months of the fis-
cal year. The engineer department
must divide it's work SO that the ap-
preparation will last throughout the
fiscal year.
Plea for Increase Likely.
1t is probable that when Congress
takes up the task of preparing the
next District appropriation bill every
effort will be made by the trade bodies
and civic organizations to have the
allotment for suburban roads in
creased.
The Commissioners will begin next
month to prepare their estimates for
presentation to Congress in Decem-
Der. on which the appropriation bill
is based.
Heads of departments are at work
now formulating the data to be used
by the city heads in drawing up the
estimates.
