100000 JOBS IN
600 MILLIONS
ROADPROGRAM
Relief to Unemployment Seen
in Pending Projects Requir-
ing Federal Aid.
PLAN OF THE NEXT YEAR

WASHINGTON. April 2-More than
three hundred thousand unemployed will
find work during the next year on road
building projects, If States and counties
push projects already approved and Con-
gress makes an additional appropriation
of 500, 600 900 as Federal aid in highway
Improvement, officials of the Department
of Agriculture estimated today.
The grand total cost of road building
projects that have been approved and
are awaiting compilation is $622, 000, 900.
In other words. this amount may be
spent during the next year If the work
is pushed. This includes amounts al
lotted by the Federal Government to the
States. counties and cities.
Estimating that go per cent Of the cost
of road building is a labor charge, II. d.
Fairbank, editor Of the Department Of
Agriculture's Road Magazine, pointed out
that this would make approximately
1915, 900 900 Available for hiring unem-
ployed. This amount, he estimated, would
provide employment for 100000 men the
greater part of the year.
Between 10000 and Is, 900 miles Of road
can be built if all the money is expended.
A first class hard surfaced highway
can now be built for less than 100000 a
mile. Many States have discontinued
work until the cost has dropped below
the $4,000 mark.
