OF the 22.030 miles OF federal-aid
roads which have been built or are
now under construction. more than
two-thirds are earth roads, sand-clay,
or gravel, says the chief of bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. These have cost
less than one-third of the total amount
expended as compared with nearly 30
per cent of the estimated cost applied
To 1880 miles of hard-suriaced roads
A study of local conditions by an
engineer of the bureau is necessary
before a road project may receive
federal aid.
The type of road To be used and the
most suitable surface with respect to
the traffic of the locality must be de-
termined. Service must be satisfac-
tory, while costs must be kept low,
both for building and maintenance.
There must be a careful analysis both
of the engineering and economic con-
ditiOns for each particular project.
There are individual considerations In
every case which affect the determi-
nation as to the best type of road ma
terials for that locality.
The mileage OF federal-aid roads
