PROBLEMS IN ROAD BUILDING
Officials of State Organizations ant Bureau of Public Roads Dis
 cuss Questions.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 The committee on tests of the American Society of State Highway Officials met with the officials of the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture, in Washington. June 26 and 27. to con. sider standardization of specifications and tests for road materials. The purpose of this meeting of representa- tives from all sections of the country was not so much to lay down rigid rules as to harmOniZe the general practice. Standardization taking into account local conditions is being brought about by series of meetings between officials from groups of states and engineers of the bureau.
 The present activity of highway of. ficialS along this line is most encOurag. ing for road building. A few years ago the general tendency was toward Individuality j1 each state without much opportunity for exchange of ideas and knowledge. Today the ten dency is in the other direction, and 8 better solution should be reached when the problems are discussed at meetings of the best highway engi- neering talent of the country.

BOOM IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
tant Factor of Recent Years in Road Construction.

Federal aid has been probably the most important factor in the big boom in highway building of recent years, and there are now many long stretches of trunk-line highway serving rich az ricultural and industrial sections of the country which are almost entirely federal-aid construction.
 The United States Department of Ag- riculture, which administers the fed eral-aid fund, points out that trav- eler going from Richmond, Ind, to St. Louis across Indiana and the southern part of Illinois, thence to Chicago by way of Springfield and Peoria, a dis tance of approximately 679 miles, would travel 505 miles, or 70 per cent of the way, on federal-aid highways, practically all of which should be in service by the end of the present sea- son.
