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,
both for building and maintenance.
There must be careful analysis both
of the engineering and economic con-
ditions for each particular project
There are individual considerations in
every case which affect the determi-
nation as TO the best type of road ma

of work accomplished since July, 1916.
