|BIC ROAD BUILDING
PROGRAM NOW AHEAD

i Fifteen to twenty years Of build
ing good roads lie ahead of the Unit
4 ed States. Under the program which
the country has adopted there will be
built, during that time, 100000 miles
Of improved highways which will con-
stitute the Federal-aid highway sys-
TEN and an equal or greater mileage
Of State and local roads. When the
sgreat job is done, the transportation
sfaVilities Of the country will far ex-
bceed those Of any other nation, past
or present, in the world. The high

fame has come down through the CEN
sturies, will pale by comparison.

They base this estimate nan aver
age cost Of $4,000 per mile. The
average cost, in turn, takes into con-
sideration all classes of improved
roadways from the cheapest to the
most expensive types. Approximate
~ %one.third Of the proposed system,
or 10000 miles Of improved highways,
already are either built or building.
The program is new one. Up to
comparatively recent years, road
building jim the United States had
been conducted without special regard
to national system. Highways had
been constructed where needed with
out considering whether they would
link up in the most effective manner
with the whole network of roads to
be spread over the Nation. Engineers
had sought more to meet immediate
and local demands than the broader
requirements Of the States and ma
ton.
The present Federal-aid road build
program, officials Of the bureau state,
will contemplate the construction of
only such roads as fit into the national
program and contribute t othe nation

roads will be so selected as to serve
the most important local require
