FAVOR PROJECTS
FOR Good ROADS
Remarkable Increase Shown in
Statement Issued by Bureau
Of Public Roads.
MANY AGREEMENTS EXECUTED
Great Reduction Made In Time for
Preliminary Work Before Actual
Construction Is Begun-Few
Projects Completed.

The remarkable rate at which the
number Of federal-aid road-building
projects has increased since the war
is shown In a summary relating to all
such work from September 30, 1916,
to April 30, 1920, which has been pre-
pared by the bureau Of public roads,
United States department Of agrlcul-
ture. On the later date the states had
filed with the bureau 2.Ss5 project
statements of which 2,79O had been
approved, representing 27.796 miles Of
highway.
Work In Progress.
Up 10 May l Of this year 1874 prof.
ects had proceeded to the stage at
which plans, specifications. and esti-
mates had been delivered to the bu-
reau Of public roads. The plans, specl-
hcations and estimates Of 1927 of
these had been recommended for ap-
proyal. representing 1885 miles. PROF
ect agreements had actually been exc
cuted and construction work was in
progress on 1860 projects, totalllng
1887 miles. In addition. work had
been begun on about 100 projects for
which agreements had not actually
been signed thus expediting the prog
ress Of the work and bringing the to-
tai mileage under construction up to
13,540. The summary shows that
great reduction has been made in the
time required for preliminary work be-
fore actual construction is begun.
Agreements Made.
On the average the states have sub
mitted project statements for nearly
90 per cent of their respective allot-
ments and have entered into agree
ment to construct highways which call
for about one-half of their federal-aid
money. The projects actually com
pleted and paid for are comparatively
few, but they are materially exceeded
in number by those which are practi-
cally completed. California, Delaware,
Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey. North Carolina, Ohio. Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyo-
ming have each submitted approved
project statements for all or nearly all
of their allotments.
