According to the bureau OF public
roads, the fiscal year 1922 broke all
records for federal road building.
During that period over 10000 miles
of federal-aid roads were constructed
and more than an equal mileage of
public highways were built with
out federal aid. Texas has the
largest mileage of federal-aid con-
structed roads. South Dakota stands
second, Oklahoma third, Missouri
fourth and Minnesota fifth All this
work was accomplished thru the sale
of tax-exempt bonds. Without them
there would have been little road
building.
