State Highway Commission Report

The report Of the State Highway
Commission covering the fiscal period
January ]. 1921, to June 80. 1922, and
the physical work accomplished by the
commission during 1921 was Tuesday
laid upon the desks of the members of
the Legislature and is now being dis
tributed to municipal officers and 9TH
erS interested.
The report in its gene raj outline fol-
lows those of the last few years issued
by the Highway Department and is
connned to a statement of the receipts
and expenditures under each appropria-
ton or division of work under the di-
rection of the State Highway Commits
sion, brief statement as to each sec
uon OF state Highway improved, in
Guiding statement in detail of OK
pendltures upon each and every section
OF State highway during the year 1921,
summarized statement of State high
ways constructed in 1921, the usual
statements as to work accomplished
under the State aid appropriations,
special resolves. State and county aid
bridges, and maintenance work.
The report concludes with the state
ment of expenditures under the direc-
ton OF the State Highway Commission
covering the years 1913 to 1921 inclu-
sive. and the approximate road mileage
completed in each of the various
classes OF road work during the same
time.
The latter statement shows that
during the nineyear period the COM
mission supervised the gross expendi.
, ture of $23,261S55.S1, of which a little
in excess of 100000 was expended
Tor maintenance and practically 81
100000 was for State and county aid
bridge work, leaving S17.000O00 as the
expenditure on highways. /,
| There have been built during the
same time 2O52.5 miles of highway, of
which 1876 miles is gravel surfaced and
the remaining mileage is distributed
among II different types of work,
Recommendations
| The commission in it's report point
out the impracticability of making a
report of road work accomplished and
completed as of Alne 80 which is the
cate OF the close of the fiscal year On
that date construction work is inst
getting started in good shape and
maintenance work is just getting under
way for the season. Consequently tha
commissioners recommend that thew
be allowed to make their report of ac-
tual ROAD construction and maintenance
operations to cover the calendar wear
rather thaa the fiscal year.
| The commission lays particular
stress upon the fact that more funds
should be provided for meeting the CO.
operative road work with, tie cities
and towns. This is the general class
OF work which comes under the title
or state Aid. The regular appropria-
t!on for this purpose is $500. 900 and
Ethe commission points out that in 1921
applications We're received from cities
ana towns which would have REQUIRED
s'92'527.s7 to satisfy. Of course the
Icommlsslon could not make these an
portlonments in full. although they
nao at their disposal an extra $50, 600

ENGLAND CAREFULLY VIEWS
GRECO-ITALIAN TROUBLE
Belief is Expressed That Killings
Were Not Result OF Any
Political Plan
BY The Associated Press.

| BY The Associated Press.
London. Aug. 3o.--The British gov.
eminent is following with close in
terest the outcome of Italy's sensa-
tional ultimatum to Greece, demand
ing redress for the massacre of the
Italian boundary delimitation mission
near the Albanian frontier, while the
most serious view is taken of the
whole affair in government quarters
it is not believed it will lead to open
hostilities.
British officials are reported as of
the opinion that Premier Mussolin
may have acted too precipitately. in
serving such sweeping and humilita-
ting terms on Greece without definite
proof of official Greek completely in
the Sayings.
They scout the suggestion that the
Greek cabinet had any connection
with the crime pointing out that it
would be suicidal for the Athens gov
eminent to countenance such an act
at time when they are striving in
every way for better international
relations and especially as the italian
government only Eecently decided to
recognize King George of Greco.
Blief is expressed that the crime
was the work of individuals who felt
aggrieved at the boundary commission
for allocating certain towns to one
side or the other.
For the present the matter so far
as the British are concerned. rests
with the inter-allied council of am
bassadors in Paris. 1t is felt that the
assassinations and the grave conse-
,quence which have followed consti.
tute an inter-allied question mas
much as the delimitation commission
of which the slain Italians were men,
bers was originally appointed by the
am bassadors conference.
