GRAVEL ROAD PROGRAM
WELL UNDER WAY
Highway Director Boulay Says
82 Miles Now Complete; 400
Miles Agreed To.

Columbus, O.-(Special. with 81
miles of gravel roads completed, the
state highway department has en-
tered into agreement with 20 counties
for 400 miles of this type of construc-
ton
This full mileage and more, which
is in contemplation, will have been
completed by the end of the next con-
struction season, according to l.. A.
Boulay, director of highways. The
gravel road policy for counties that
can not cooperate with the state on
high-priced pavements has been push
ed vigorously by Director Boulay ever
since his appointment by Governor
Donahey last July l..
Six months ago the department
adopted definite plan with respect
to counties where tax duplicates are
low. To many of them 1t made possible
the construction Of bridges and cul-
verts and provided grades with loose
gravel or stone surface until the finan-
cial situation will warrant pavements,
If they are wanted. Large areas have
been led out of the wilderness of mud
through this plan, which consists
chiefly of continuous dragging and
scraping and adding material as need
ed by state-county forces and equip
ment under supervision of engineers
of the highway department
