STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway I'M
provenent Made by kentucky
Is Years Ago.

It is often said that the use of state
money for the construction Of roads
is Of quite recent origin, says bulle-
tin from the American Highway assO-
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law OF 1901 is sometimes referred to
as the first instance OF such use of
state funds in this country. As a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than Is years
ago. Kentucky paid out over $1,000
coo for road improvements between
1920 and 1910 under the direction of a
state highway engineer, who drew
salary Of $1,000 year, very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "a to 80
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed of broken
stone. and the bottoms were OF large
stones wedged together to make what
road builders call telford foundation.
About 1850 business conditions In the
country became bad and this work
stopped. When it was resumed in
1908 such a long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work that
1908 Is usually fixed as the beginning
Of state road work in Kentucky.
