HUGE sum is SPENT
IN BUILDING ROADS
100000 to Be Spent in
Twenty-One States During
Construction Season

ATLANTA, Sept. Highway
construction in the United States
for the 1923 road construction sea-
son, in which Georgia will have
big part, will represent an expendi-
ture of $228,O0O,0OO in twenty-one
states from which reports have been
tabulated by advocates of good
roads here. Last year the same
states spent 1912, 100000 in road
construction, the expenditures this
year representing a gain of SIS, 200.
Approximately one-half Of the
total mileage projected and under
construction this year, it is stated,
is federal aid work. On March /,
federal aid work under construc-
ton amounted to $258, 100000 as
compared with $233, OO0,444 on the
same date last year. "These are
large figures" said John N. Hold
er, chairman of the Georgia High
way Department. "They show that
the building of good roads in this
country has passed from the thou
sand to the million dollar class and
is hunting high in the latter class.
They show that the country very
generally is aroused to the neces-
sity for providing good highways
for the use of farmers and COM
mercial interests, that communities
are being connected with roads that
can be travelled without incon-
venience in all weather and during
all seasons and that rural isolation
us rapidly becoming to thing of
the past through the connecting up
of isolated sections with other COM
munities."
Thirty states now tax gasoline, as
compared with four at the begin
ming Of 1921 and most of the reve-
nue. goes for road purposes. Geor-
gia raised it's gasoline tax at the
last session of the legislature and
the big fund which will be derived
from that source will prove big
aid to road improvement in the
state. The highway department
accomplished great deal in road
construction during the last year
and new construction now under
way will add many good roads. The
work of the commission in marking
its principal highways has recently
attracted considerable attention.

old fad for collecting postage
stamps not only is not on the wane,
but is going stronger than ever, ac-

concluded here what they charac-

collecting when they bid quick and
