ought not to be a laggard in the
weighty work Of providing great

Last year the entire system of
$500 niles was given over to the
State Highway Department for main
tenance. The State Aid Road fund
comes from a tax on motor vehicles.
Last year the total revenue from this
source was silica, 100000 in round

100000 was expended for construct
ton done in 1920 and 1921. It was
estimated in 1920 that the income
the following year would be two
hundred thousand greater than in
1920. The financial crash came and
the income was less. Construction
contracts were made to be paid out
of State funds, but on account Of a
greatly decreased income in 1921
these obligations had to be met out
Of 1922 funds. This amount was
$401 100000. Out of this fund other

know of no one thing that will
be a greater contributing factor than
the betterment OF the highways Of

thoroughfares are indissolublv link

They mean better schools, a con-

Good roads mean so much to this

soil-clay, 244 are paved and 246 are
either ebert or gravel. Georgia will
consume her full quota Of Federal
money. Of all the Southern States,
Georgia stands first in the total val
ue Of roads and bridges constructed.
Georgia stands first in the value Of
bridges constructed, also first in the
length Of bridges constructed, hav-
ing built fourteen miles of bridges
over twenty feet in length. Her mil
cage on tne State System is %
miles. Georgia viii put under con-
struction this year 5G8 miles more
Of roads on this State system.
A distinguished Georgian said to
me few days ago that the criticism
he had to make Of road construction
in Georgia is that there is no well
connected system. That is because
Federal FUNDS are matched LARGELY
by counties and only counties that
provide these funds can be furnished
with Federal funds he then said
what Georgia needs is a State Aid
Road fund for construction with
which to be put up dollar for dol
lar with federal money. He is
right about this. A state fund
means helping the counties that are
not strong financially and means a
connected system Of thoroughfares.
1t means more-it means that the
strong counties financially will
largely provide the funds and that
the small counties win be the bene-
fciaries.
How can this money be raised?
BY placing tax on gas and lubri-
eating oils. North Carolina has re-
Gently levied three cents on gas.
South Carolina has done the same
thing. Fifteen other States have
provided State funds for construc-
ton in this way.
Alter next year Georgia's quota of
federal funds will be two millions
of dollars. The income from three
cents a gallon on gasoline and two
cents on lubricating oils together
with residue Of motor vehicle tax
will amount to about three millions.
With five millions for construction,

construction projects had to be paid
for. This amount was $55,00U.00.
Equipment to the amount of $780,
100000 was purchased and paid for

A force to maintain the roads was
for maintenance in 1922 was $917,-
100000.
All old debts have been paid and
at present the State Highway De-
partment is practically out Of debt. 1t
has purchased other equipment and
paid for it.
The roads have been divided into
one hundred sections with an av-
erage of So miles to the section. On
each section is a maintenance force
who will be kept on the section ev-
cry work in this year There will
soon be sufficient equipment in each
section to run a maintainer over ev-
cry mile Of road in forty-eight hours.
The State System is now being main
tained better than last year Many
heavy rains fell in March and April
that did considerable damage to the
highways. However, the roads on
the State System are being RAPIDLY
repaired. The suggestion has been
made that maintenance be done by
the counties Ninety per cent OF
the criticism of and complaints
against the State Highway Depart
ment originated with maintenance
If this work should be transferred
to counties, it would relieve the
State Highway Department Of near
ly all criticism and add burdens and
criticism to the counties. So far as
the State Highway Department is
concerned it would be glad not to
have on it road maintenance provided
that is the best thing for the State.
The State Highway Department is
ready and willing to bear all the crit
icism if it to the best interest of
Georgia for the State Aid Road Sys-
tom to be maintained by the State.

t~act with the Federal Government

the vehicle. The preacher said he
would get between the shafts and

and they would go on to town. This
was agreed to. As thew went aIon0

brethren, there must be pushing and
pulling"
In this road work there must be
complete cooperation between To-
calities, counties, the State and Fed
eral Government. Some Of these
forces must push while others pull.
The State and Federal Govern
ments have seven per cent of the
post roads to build and maintain.
while counties and communities have
nlnety-three per cent. The State
Government will survey county roads
and design county bridges free of
cost to the counties. The State has
little funds for construction so
counties have been furnishing most
Of the money with which to match
Federal funds. Before Federal
funds can be obtained by the State
on any Of the State roads these funds
must be matched fifty-ffty or dollar
for dollar. Counties as just stated
have furnished these funds.
Out Of State funds all expenses
must be paid for surveys, blue prints,
plans, etc, and the State must pay
all expenses Of engineering and en-
cheering supervision except the
Federal Government pays one half
the expenses. Of inspection while a
project is under construction. While
the county's part Of these funds pays
not one cent toward engineering,
surveys and plans yet the county
furnishes the right-of-way.
This is mentioned to show that
there is cooperation between com
munities, counties, the State and
Federal Government. Without coop
Grafton there will not be such a high
way system as this State deserves.
The Federal Government in dis
pensing Federal Aid road funds will
deal with no less unit than the State.

eminent, ali Federal Air Road funds
would be withdrawn from Georgia
until the project had been put in re-
pair. The maintenance Of these pro-
jects has not been to the entire sat
isfaction Of the Federal Government,
but has been acceptable to the Blu
reau Of Public Roads. Their condi-
ton is being improved. We hope that
very soon no complaint will be made
by anyone concerning the condition
of any road, whether Federal Aid or
other kinds Of roads on the entire
State System of public thorough
fares.
Now listen, Gentlemen, matters

State there will be complaints
I Traffic is growing so rapidly that
dirt roads will not bear the traffic
AS traffic increases, better roads
must be constructed to meet the new
situation. Whatever is best for the
State, whether for roads to be main
tanned by the counties or the State
Highway Department, we are anxious
TO do.
