$4,000, 900 FOR ROADS
SPENT BY STATE OF WISCONSIN
FROM 1912 TO 1920
100 Miles of Road Costing $3.50, 900
Built in 1912; 1860 Miles at
$S,500,0 900 in 1920

Here is the record of highway con-
struction by the Wisconsin Highway
Commission since 1911 when the leg
islature enacted the first state aid law.
The construction began in 1912 in
which year 466 miles of read were
built at cost of $950,000. There was
a steady increase until in 1914 there
were built 1896 miles of road at a
cost of $4,000,O00. The war then in
erposed-constructi was reduced
until in 1918 only 667 miles of road
were built (about half the product of
1910 at a cost of SO 100000. Nine
teen eighteen saw the beginning of the
policy of patrol maintenance and there
was expended 100000 in mainte-
nance. In 1920 the war conditions
were to some extent overpassed, but
the general scale of prices was still
high and the program was restricted
on account of all these matters. We
built last year less concrete road than
we built the year before by about fifty
miles, but the product in new roads in
1920 was about $50 miles, built at
cost of $8,500,000. The maintenance
expenditures, state and county were
SO 200 600 Therefore, about $11 ,700,-
900 was expended for federal, state
and county construction and mainte-
nance in 1920, exclusive of supervis-
ion and miscellaneous expenditures.
During the nine years from 1912 to
1920, inclusive, there was built Gall
miles of road and TIA bridges at
total cost of $36,750,O0O There was
expended in maintenance $7,605, 900.
The total highway expenditures in
Wisconsin from 1912 to 1920, inclu-
sive for federal, state and county aid
construction, maintenance, supervis-
ion, machinery and miscellaneous were
probably $52,000000.

YOUR HOBBY GARDEN OR BIRDS
Public Library Will Loan You Inter
esting Books on These Subjects

Among the activities in which the
Viroqua Public Library is interested,
and as to which it furnishes a source
of information is gardening and the
conservation of bird life.
There will be on display this week a
collection of books, magazine articles,
pamphlets, pictures, and seed catalogs,
all of which you may read at the Ii
brary or take to your homes. There
will also be in this collection a copy of
the Wisconsin Library Bulletin, in
which will be found list of reliable
firms that issue good seed catalogs,
and an article on hardy perennials
suited to Wisconsin gardens, by Mr.
Turvill of Madison, who is an expert
upon this subject.
Now that spring is here, there is
a pleasure" writes Helena Ely, "even
in making lists, reading catalogs of
plants and seeds and wondering wheth-
er this year my flowers will be like
the pictured ones, and always in mag
nation, seeing how the sleeping plants
will look when robed in fullest beauty.
The attractive bird houses in the
exhibit have been made by the boys
in the Manual Training Department
under the supervision of Mr.. Enders.
Colbert H.Trafton, the author of Meth
DDS of Attracting Birds, has written
a chapter on Nesting Houses which
the boys will find very helpful in de-
termining when and where to place
their houses

THAT'S ESTIMATE OF HIGHWAY
TRAVEL FOR 1921
1900 Cars in 1917; Now 300, 900; TRAY
ell Then Fifty Million Miles. Now
A Billion

Chief Engineer Hirst of the High
way Commission in a talk given re-
Gently before the joint session of the
senate and assembly gave some sta
tistics concerning highway traffic in
Wisconsin, which were rather start
ling to those who had never made in
vestigation of the subject. "In 1917,
said Mr.. Hirst, (which marked the be-
ginning of state interest in highway
construction, there were 3700 motor
vehicles registered. Travel on our
highways was largely by horse-drawn
vehicles, and probably fair estimate
of this travel would be that it totalled
100000 miles per annum. In 1921
there will be well over 100000 motor
vehicles traversing our rural high
ways, and the total mileage of rural
highway travel will undoubtedly be
.000, 100000 miles.
The construction and maintenance
of highways is, therefore, very logic
ally looming large in the public eye,
because upon the proper construction
and maintenance of our highway sys-
tenn depends the economic use of those
100000 motor vehicles and of about
100000 horse-drawn vehicles, and the
economic use of these vehicles bears
a relation to every problem which
Wisconsin has, including not only the
main problem of the transportation Of
persons and things, but the problem
of proper school facilities and the
problem of proper marketing
This does not mention the great
item of tourist traffic and the reve-
nues derived from it, which item has
become an important factor in the
basic economics Of the state. Outside
of education there can be no other
one factor in the states program or
in the state progress which touches
so many lives and interests, as does
our system Of public highways.
Therefore, it behooves US to consider
all matters in connection with this
svatenn with the gravest care"
