the use to which the s275, 1000, 900 previously appropriated has been put, according to officials of the United States department of agriculture. Practically s200, 100000 of that money has been put to work in projects which are either entirely completed or now under construction. The ex- act amount was $199.S23,427 on Oct. 31. To match this amount the state have appropriated S265, ,529, ,00O, mak- ing a total of s465, 352, ,517.
 The roads to be paid for by this country, if placed end to end, would encircle the earth and extend from New York to San Francisco on the second lap, the total mileage of the roads under construction and com pleted being reported by the bureau
 of public roads as 27,000 miles or
 Oct. 31-, Of this mileage 9555 miles is l in projects which are entirely com pleted and the contractors dis charged. The balance of 17,445 miles is in projects which are still under
 construction, but which were 69 pei cent complete on Oct. 31- In these projects there is, therefore, the equiv alent of 12,000 miles of completed road. so that the completed road IC date totals over 21.000 miles.
 The average cost per mile of tho roads built with federal aid has beer
 between s17,o00 and s1s,0o0. Mor' than half the money has been spen for roads with the highest types. o surface, such as concrete, brick anC hituminous concrete, but very larg'
 mileage of roads of the cheaper type
 such as gravel and sand-clay, hal

 withstand the wear of the traffic. Prior to five years ago the fed
 eral government took no active par
 in the road construction of the coun . try. Today about one half of all tn l roads that are being built are beinl aided by the government financially
 and the construction is subject to tn 1 inspection and approval of federal en ! gineers-

ARIZONA FIRE |NS. CO. POLICIES GOOD

Because of a published account of the proceedings in the case of the Arizona Fire Insurance company. many of the policy holders of the company have been alarmed as to the status of their policies. They are reasured by the following statement issued by the state corporation com mission yesterday:
 Under date of November 2S an article was published in the news papers containing a statement that the further conduct of business by the Arizona Fire Insurance Company would be hazardous to their policy holders.
 'This statement is. in a manner. misleading, since all fire policies that were in good standing were assumed on May IS. 1921, by the California Insurance Company of San Fran cisco. California. and now have the protection of that company.
 "The complaint filed in the court was technical and we are pleas to make this statement for the informa- tion of the former policy holders of ! the Arizona Fire Insurance Company and in justice to the California h. surance Company. which is now pro- | tecting those policies. | (Signed) Arizona Corporation | Commission. r.

It Is estimated by engineers that highways being constructed in the United States through federal aid were on Oct. S1 giving employment to about 250.000 men. either directly on the actual road construction or in directly in the production and trans portation of materials which enter into the construction.
 Seventy-five million dollars be- comes available as federal aid for road construction in the various states, the money to be spent under the supervision of the bureau of pub lie roads, department of agriculture, under the federal highway act rec ently signed by the president. In ad- dition S15.0o0,000 is appropriation for national forest roads.
 | The new act will, it is stated, keer l these men at work on the roads, SC | far as weather conditions will per | init, and thereby prevent the unem- ployment situation from becoming more serious Without the new ap- propriations many of the states would
 soon have been forced to curtail theii work for lack of funds.
 l The s75.000.00o represents the fed eral governments appropriation tC the work of building highways in tht various states and must be matched dollar for dollar, by funds from tn, state treasuries, except in state' l where more than per cent of th'
 area is unappropriated public land.
 The s75,o00.0O0 appropriated is fol the fiscal year ending June 30. 1922 and S25 1000, 900 of the sum is availabi Immediately, the balance heconinj available on Jan. 1, 1922.
 The federal highway act in gen eraI way resembles the federal ai' act of 1916. but contains several nev features. Administration of the ac by the secretary ct agriculture, an' under him the bureau of public roads remains unchanged.

 DELAYS WAR RECORD

Progress on the war record being compiled by Colonel James H. Me CIintock is not advancing as rapidly as he would wish. was the statement made by the state historian yester- day. Colonel McClintock said he had received comparatively few photo- graphs or biographies of the men killed in service overseas or who died in the hospitals in France or in America
 No reply as yet has been received to the request for a record of army officers from the adjutant generals department at Washington. D. C., ac- cording to the historian. The privates here at home also have shown little interest in the history which in later years will have a very real meaning to the service men and their fam flies.
