It is really fortunate that no large amount of work was begun for the req son that already prices entering into the cost of roads have decreased 2o per cent. | In terms of figures, projects estimatel last year to cost $l,0O0,00O could DC awarded now fer s75O0O0.

 mated cost, SS,S96, 321 .Sl; federal aid al, loted Sl.S94,Gl6.n; length of roads, 423. ;;5 miles.
 Project statements have been ap- proved for s1.254,3 ,30sS5, of which s3,6l9- 39.27 is federal aid, covering 7O77S miles of road. The execution of project agree ments covering the additional projects shown can immediately be executed
 If bonds can be sold, the state high way commission will be prepared to start work in every county in the state, in- volving an expenditure of approximately 10,O0o,OOO. A twofold good will result-a large mileage of good roads and finall- cal aid to the farmer in this time of great need.
