ment of Agriculture)
OF the 22.03D miles of federal-aid
roads which have been built or are
now under construction, more than
two-thirds are earth roads, sand-clay,

less than one-third Of the total mou
expended as compared with nearly 30
per cent Of the estimated cost applied
to 1880 miles of hard-surfaced 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,

There must be a careful analysis both
of the engineering and economic cor
ditions for each particular project.
There are individual considerations III

nation as to the best type of road ma
