partment Has Completed los Miles
ATLANTA, Gait will take con-
siderably in excess of $40,OO0,000 and
require more than ten years to COM
plete the 1890 miles of roadways
which the state system provided for
in the law enacted couple of years
ago by the legislature. So far in the
two years the work has been going
on there has been expended, in round
figures, about $8,000,00O.
This will be one of the subjects in
to which the Legislature is going to
dig very deeply this summer with the
view, as indicated by several mem
bers of the two branches who have
been here in the last few days, to
making certain changes in the present
system both of raising the funds tol
road purposes and putting it on the
roads after it has been raised.
Regardless of all the talk that has
been going on of probes, lnvestiga'
lions and reforms along other lines II
is fast reaching point OF certainty
that some of the most serious ano
earnest attention along constructive
lines will be given to the questions o.
roads, as we'll as the use OF money
which already has been raised for road
purposes.
Only 165 Miles Completed.
1t is found today in the last two
wears there has been actually com
pleted, that is graded and surfaced
| lust los miles of roads in the state BY
the highway department. though the
total work done carries to 839 miles o.
grading, the difference between tht
two figures being that number OF mile:
which have been prepared Tor the sur
face work, on which it has not ye'
been placed.
Contracts have been let by the high
way department for total OF l,l8:
miles, of which 28S miles are pavee
roads. In other words the road worl
of the state is being done on con
tract system by individual concerns
and simply. under the supervision ant
/ control of the state department.
In addition to the actual road worl
the department has had completed vi
to Nav /, this year total OF 33,3/.
lineal feet of bridge work, of which
approximately 90 per cent is concrete
The cost of this work is arrived a
from the records by the account 0
the state highway department, whicl
! shows: -
State fund 1920, $1,795, 1895.
Federal fund paid to department II
1920, $448,812.90.
State fund 1921 to date, 1884,
IO16.27.
Federal fund for 1920 for depart
ment approximately $1,30O000.
Approximate total for two years
I$4,917,962.12.
All Has Not Been Paid.
The total estimated amount of tn
federal fund for 1921 has not, o
course, all been paid to the state de
partment, but these figures are give
by state officials as approximately cor
rect based on the amount alread
transferred to the highway department
coming from the federal government

Chandler. who was to have nadTcharge of the meeting, stating lns1 pr. Chandler. one of the first cotton growers in the valley. was thoroughly in favor of the organiza- llon plan and contract of the Arizona tshnacotton Growers, and would be one of the sturdiest supporters and members of the organization.
 The chairman introduced, in a very flattering manner, w. s. Stevens. stating that MT.
