STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway I'm.
provement Made by Kentucky
rs Years Ago.

II Is often said that the use OF state
money for the construction of roads
is of quite recent origin, says Il bulle-
tin from the American Highway assoc
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law of 1901 Is sometimes referred to
as the first Instance of such use OF
state funds In this country. As n
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than 10 years
ago. Kentucky paid out over 5000.
900 for road improvements between
1920 aud 1910 under the direction of n
state highway engineer, who drew n
salary of 5000 II year, IA very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "a to 30
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed of broken
stone, and the bottoms were of large
stones wedged together to make what
road builders call n telford foundation.
About 1850 business conditions In the
country became bad and this work
stopped. When II was resumed In
1908 such n long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work TINT
1905 Is usually fixed as the beginning
OF state road work In Kentucky.

should be adopted that would benefit
n few at the expense Of the many. For
that reason the local communities
should contribute their share OF the
expense of the construction.
ave are told by competent authority
that freight can be transported cheap
er on short hauls by motor trucks
than by rail. but on long hauls the
cost of transportation by truck is pro
hibltive.
ain April, 1917, the declaration OF
war caused all road building 10 cease.
All bond issues that had been voted
for road construction were held In
allegiance, and nothing was undertaken
until after the signing of the armlstice
TO resume construction of highways.
The war awakened the people 10 the
necessity Of permanent road building
and demonstrated that II would he
necessary In the future TO build roads
that would Withstand the heavy truck
traffic.
'The present system of federal aid
has not been given a fair opportunity TO
demonstrate It's merits. II began
operation under abnormal conditions,
which grew worse. The road to be
improved must be a rural post rond,'
ms defined IN the law, to be any public
road, II major portion of which Is now
used, or can be used, ns n connecting
link not TO exceed ten miles In length
of nny road or roads now or hereafter
used for the transportation OF the
United States mails.
"Nothing will turn the tide OF hu.
mainly back To the rural communities
more effectively than the construction
Of permanent highways. Nothing will
encourage the production Of food prod
ucts more than roads that can be
travelled all the year"
