OVER BILLION GOING

Engineers say More Than S6OO,OOO, 900
VIII BE Spent on Rural Highways
Days of Gravel Past.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--More than
81 100000 900 will be spent on city
street and rural highway construction IN
1922. according to the latest estimates
Of highway engineers. OF this, more
than 5000, 600, 600 will go for rural
highways and the remainder for city
streets.
because of the rapid increase in the
use of motor vehicles. both for passenger
and freight transportation. state high
way officials estimate that it will be at
least five years before the country
catches up with the demand for inn
proved roads.
With road Improvement proceeding at
such a rapid rate. highway engineers see
an economic fallaey in the tendency of
some communities to permit the building
of what are readily recognized as tenn
porary pavement types The day of the
gravel and macadam roads for heavy
traffic is past, they say. The mainten-
ancc expenditures which such roads en-
tail make them. in the long run, far
more expensive than the permanent
types. In every instance engineers are
contcHding for the best possible type be-
cause they realize that high first cost
means longer service and consequently
greater economy.
