HIGH LIGHTS ON HIGHWAYS.

The Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of A gri-
culture states that there are enough
motor vehicles in the United States
to take the entire population for a
ride at one time.
How climate affects the highway
working season is shown by the fat
that grading can be done on 100 days
of the year in western Oregon, 110
in Maine, 260 in Maryland and 300
in several of the southern states.
Federal-aio roads placed under
construction in September amounted
to 1889 miles.
At the beginning of 1922 there
were Az motor vehicles for each mile
Of road in the United States.
From 10 to 35 cents per hour is
the range of wages for common la
Dor on Federal-aid roads east of the
Rocky Mountains, with a few excep-
tons, where as high as 43 cents is
paid.
One hundred and twenty vehicles
