STATE HIGHWAY
MAKES REPORT
A State System of Good Roads
OF More Than Three Thousand
Miles Planned

Columbia. Dec 27.-Appropriation
OF state funds for constructing GER
tain links in the state highways not
built by the counties, an act to al
low the spending Of county funds for
roads within the limits of the towns
and the establishment of road ma
terials testing laboratory are matters
urged upon the legislature by the
I state highway commission, in pts
report TO the Legislature, copy Of which
was furnished the press today.
The highway department reports to
the legislature a state system embrac-
ing TO date 3,037 miles, thus far
planned" This mileage has been
adopted into the state system, though
as yet only All miles have been COM
pieted or contracted for.
The 1871 program of the highway
department calls for the expenditure
Of six million dollars and the con-
st"uction of approximately All miles
OF highways, and also four large
bridges over the Wateree, Santee,
Pee Dee and Savannah rivers. These
bridges will cost several million dol
lars.
There are certain stretches of som g
Of the main highways OF the state
which are not properly constructed
or cared for, due TO the fact that
their situation makes them of little
interest to the counties. The highway
department mentions in it's report q
stretch Of the Howard Gap road one
mile long, in Greenvlle county, which
is not cared for by Grecnville county:
several miles of the old state road in
Lexington county; several miles of
the Washington Atlanta highway in
Marlboro county, and other pieces OF
highway being neglected by the coun-
~ highway officials, because their To-
cation minimizes their Importance to
the counties. The highway depart
mcnt Is asking the state TO keep up
these roads.
Inc department also calls atten-
ton to the fact that there are Il mum
Der OF gaps in the roads. through
towns where streets are not paved,
the towns not being able to main
;Ain the streets to state road stand
ards Thu commission is asking the
Legislature to make possible the expcn-
diture of state funds for constructing
such roads. The law now prohibits
the expenditure OF state funds for
roads within municipalities
The road material testing labora-
tory suggested would be for the use
Of county road officials as well as the
state department. An appropriation
of 1000 is asked to establish this
but it is stated the laboratory would
dc sclf-supporting. The state high
way department is now having such
work done in commercial laboratories,
at cost to the state. Thirty-three
states of the union have state labora-
tories for their highway departments.

commission.
