GOOD
ROAD WORK is FACILITATED
Effect of Amendments Passed Last
February Is Shown in Report
of Secretary Houston.

Amendments to the federal aid road
act passed last February have greatly
facilitated the work of putting the
country on a good roads basis, in the
opinion of David F. Houston, secretary
OF agriculture. These amendments, in
brief, increase from $1,000 20 $4,000
per mile the amount Of federal funds
that may be expended by one road and
considerably broaden the definition OF
what constitutes a rural post road. The
act as it now stands. says Secretary
Houston in his annual report. places
only three limitations on the type of
road which may be built, as fol-
lows:
THAT the roads shall be 'substan-
tial in character This means that the
road must be so constructed that it
Will carry the prospective traffic with
such maintenance expenses that the
total annual charges will represent q
reasonable expenditure for the public
service rendered by the highway. 1t is
TO the interest Of the states that the
roads on which federal funds are used
be substantially constructed, because
the law requires them. or their civil
subdivisions. as a prerequisite to re-
ceiving further funds. to maintain
properly all roads built with federal
aid There is nothing in the law which
restricts types of construction between
narrower limits than those established
by sound finance and good engineering
practice.
That the amount contributed from
the federal treasury is connected with
any road shall not exceed 90 per cent
Of its cost or $4,000 a mile. The main
thing is to build a road that will stand
the traffic in the particular section of
the country where it is constructed.
The conditions in certain regions may
require a heavy, comparatively high
cost type of road, while in others a
lower cost type may meet all the re-
quirements. Sentiment is growing
throughout the country, even in the
newer sections, in favor of more sub
Stantial roads.
THAT the road must be a rural post
road as defined in the act as amended

Last Winters Suit.

In freshening up a last winters suit
or separate coat the lining OF the gar

arms, requiring a large piece of new
material for repairs. When the lin

hopeless one. But why not borrow
the material from the sleeve lining?
This is an easy trick. Measure the
size Of the piece required and cut

The cost of concrete roads vary con-

sand and hard durable pebbles or
crushed stone can be readily obtained
close to the road to be improved, the
first cost is materially decreased. On

below the costs OF other modern types.
