WashingtOn.-With provisions for the air mail service eliminated, the an- nual postOffice appropriation bill, car rying approximately $554, 100000, waB favOrably reported by the House ap- propriatiOns committee. AS drafted by a subcommittee, the measure provided S1, ,935, ,OOO for the air mail service dur ing the fiscal year beginning next July 1. The full committee, however, in ap- proving the bill, struck out this sec tion. The total carried in the measure is $24,7O7, ,976 less than the apprOpria- tons for the current fiscal year and S24, ,735,691 less than the amount re- Quested by the budget bureau.

Newark, N. J.-Mrs. Mary Casale of Newark, widow of Charles E. Casale, former New Jersey assemblyman, who died Nov. 19, gave birth to her twenty first child on New Years day, it was shown when a birth certificate for Jeremiah Casale was filed with the Newark city clerk. Eighteen of the Casale children are living, the eldest being 26, and only three have married. Of the three who are dead two were twins, born in 1919. Their birth was made the occasion of a freak session of the lower house, in which the late Assemblyman Casale was spurred into making his first speech of his political career

Fall Buys Riq Ranch.

CarrizozO, N M.-One of the biggest real estate deals ill this part of the state for some time was closed when the Harris ranch, known for many years as the Three Rivers Land and Cattle Company property, was pur- chased by Secretary of the Interior A. B. Fall. The property has one of the finest orchards in the state, a large acreage of alfalfa and many acres of grazing land. The consideration was not given, but it is supposed to be large as the ranch is one of the most valuable properties in the state.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ACT PROVIDES
 WORK FOR QUARTER MILLION MEN

<Prepsred by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 Seventy-fve million dollars becomes available as federal aid for road con- structiOn in the various states, the money to be spent under the super vision of the bureau of public roads, Department of Agriculture, under the federal highway act, signed November 3, by the President. In addition, $l5,- 100000 is appropriated for national forest roads. The 75,0000OO repre- sentS the federal governments appro- priatlOn to the work of building high ways in the various states and must be matched, dollar for dollar, by funds from the state treasuries, except in states where more than per cent of the area is unappropriated public land. : Part of Money Now Available.
 The $75,OOO,OOO appropriated is for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922. Here is how the money will be ap- portioned among the AS states:
The St. Johns herald., 1922-02-02

Of the appropriation of $15,000,000 for the improvement of national forest roads S5,000OO0 is made available for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1922, and S10OOO,OO0 for the following fiscal year.
 The federal highway act in a general way resembles the federal-aid act of 1916, but contains several new features. Administration of the act by the secre- tary of agriculture, and under him the bureau of public roads, remains un- changed.
 AppOrtionment of the fund to the states is almO f the same as in the pre- viOus act, the fund being divided into three parts, one part appOrtioned ac- cOrding to population, one according to area, and one part according to mileage of rural and star mail routes. A new feature is the stipulation that no state shall receive less than One-half of l per cent of the total fund which, in this case, amounts to $365, 1925. This stipulation will increase the amount received by four of the smaller states, 1. e., Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
 Change in Use of State AIIotments.
 There is considerable change, how ever, in the manner in which a state may use its allotment. Each state must select a connected road system not exceeding z per cent of its road mileage for improvement with federal aid. This system will be divided into two classes, one of which will be known as interstate highways and the other as intercounty highways. The inter- state highways must not exceed three sevenths of the system selected; on them not more than 50 per cent of the states allotment can be spent with out the joint approval of the secretary of agriculture and the state highway department. The intercOunty high ways, which consist of the remainder of the system selected, will receive the remainder of the states allotment.
 Except in states where more than 5 per cent of the area is unapprOpriated public land the amount of federal aid received on any project must not ex- ceed 90 per cent of the estimated cost In states where more than per cent of the area is unapprOpriated public land the 90 per cent allotment is in- creased by an amount equal to one half the percentage of unapprOpriated
The St. Johns herald., 1922-02-02

puDllc lanQ m the state. Be1Oro any funds can be paid to a state, the state must appropriate money, under the direct control of the state highway de- partment, to match the federal allOt- ment, and for the maintenance of federal-aid highways.
 All highways in the interstate system must have a surfaced width of at least IS feet, unless a narrower width is deemed permissible by the secretary of agriculture. In case federal-aid highway is not properly maintained by state, the state will be given 90 days notice by the department; at the end of that time if the highway Is not in good condition of maintenance the sec retary of agriculture will maintain 1t out of the states allotment and refuse to approve any new projects until reimbursement is made by the state.
 What the new appropriation will mean to the country can be judged by the use to which the $275, 100000 pre- viOusly appropriated has been put, ac- cording to officials of the United States Department of Agriculture. Practically $20O, 100000 of that money has been put to work in projects which are either entirely completed or now under con- struction. The exact amount was $199,- 823, APT on October 31. To match this amount the states have appropriated $265, 5,529, ,090, making a total of $465,- 352, 2,517.
 Mileage Sufficient to EnelrcIe Earth.
 The roads to be paid for by this money, if placed end to end, would en- circle the earth and extend from New York to San Francisco on the second lap, the total mileage of the roads under construction and completed be- ing reported by the bureau of public roads as 27,0OO miles on October 31. Of this mileage, 9,555 miles is in prof ects which are entirely completed and the contractors discharged. The bal ance of 17,445 miles is in projects which are still under construction, but which were 69 per cent complete on October 31. In these projects there is therefore the equivalent of 12,OO0 miles of completed road, so that the completed road to date totals over 21,- 900 miles.
 The average cost per mile of the roads built with federal aid has been between $17OOO and $18,0O0. More than half the money has been spent for roads with the highest types of surface, such as concrete, brick, and bituminOus concrete, but very large mileage of roads of the cheaper type, such as gravel and sand-clay, has been built where such types would withstand the wear of the traffic.
 Prior to five years ago the federal government took no active part in the road construction of the country. To- day about One-half of all the roads that are being built are being aided by the government financially, and the construction is subject to the inspec- tiOn and approval of federal engineers.
 Work for Quarter Million Men.
 It is estimated by engineers of the United States Department of Agricul. ture that the federal-aid roads under construction on October 31 were giv. ing employment to about 250,OO0 men, either directly on the actual road con. struction or indirectly in the prOduc. tiOn and transportation of the ma terials which enter into the construc' tiOn.
