OF the 22,o3O miles of Federal-ald

two-thirds are earth roads. delay,
or gravel. says the chief of the Bur

have cost less than one-third of the
, total amount expended as compared
with nearly SO per cent of the esti-
mated cost applied to 4.s90 miles of

local conditions by an engineer of the

There must be a careful analysis bot h

There arc individual considerations in

Tho mileage of Federal aid roads
which have been built or are now

cient to encircle tho globe. This Is
the record of work accomplished since
