A LARGE MILEAGE
OF GEORGIA ROADS
RECORDS TO DATE SHOW 1873
MILES CONSTRUCTED WITH
FEDERAL AID.

Official statistics OF the bureau OF
public roads OF the United States De
partment Of Agriculture up to the new
fiscal year, which started July |, 1925,
show that of the Al 1913 miles OF federal
aid highways which had been FULLY
completed on that date no less than
1913 were in Georgia.
This is a very large mileage in pro-
portion to the area and population OF
the south's empire state as compared
with most of the other states. Nilsson
r. for instance, with larger aea and
population. has total completed mile
age OF only little moe than LOO.
Alabama has III miles; Florida, 90
miles; South Carolina, 1896 miles Gan
excellent showing); North Carolina,
1,120, and Tennessee 498 miles.
OF the 9,445 miles of federal aid
roads which were brought to compile
ton in the country during the fiscal
year ending June 80 last, 264 were in
Georgia, 81 in South Carolina, l48 in
Alabama and 40 in Florida.
Georgia Leads Neighboring States.
AT the beginning of the present fls-
cal year there were under construction
IN the entire United States l7,123
miles Of federal aid roads in addition
TO those already finished Georgia had
741 miles of this roadway under con-
struction; South Carolina had 273;
Alabama had sos and Florida had 252.
Approvals OF projects for construc-
ton, but not actually started, totaled
for the whole country 2,l95 miles on
the first OF the present month. OF this
mileage thus approved thirtyhve are
to be in Georgia When the proper
ton OF mileage approved is very small
in comparison with that under con-
struction, it indicates that a state is
keeping well up with its program OF
road building Michigan furnishes the
extreme example OF pep" in this re-
spect, having 479 miles under con-
struction and only $40 of mile ap-
proved and not begun.
The bureaus figures show that up
TO the first OF this month total OF
$740,140,000 had been expended in the
construction OF roads jointly between
the states and the national govern
ment, and that OF this total $325654
900 had been contributed from the
federal treasury In addition, there are
approved projects, yet to be begun,
which will cost $52,925,000 and in
clude a committal OF $20,992,00O of
federal funds.
20 Million on Georgia Roads.
Georgia's portion OF federal aid
roadway which has been completed
cost $20,156,000 of which $9,406,000
came from the national treasury. Geor-
gia's system OF such roadways under
construction will represent cost of
$11,245, 572, OF which the federal share
will be S5,544, $50, and her projects Of
hcially approved, but not yet begun,
are estimated to cost $523, 498, with the
national government contributing
$228,475 of that amount.
Jumping together all the Georgia
federal aid highways built, building
and approved officially for construc-
ton, we have a mileage fairly in sight
in the state of 1884, representing a
total cost of $31,935,252, OF which I'm
Gle Sam defrays $15,179,S21. The bal
ance available in the federal treasury
for allotment to new Georgia projects
Tin addition to those already APPROX
ED was $1,253,164 on July l, 1925.

EXPERIMENT STATION
is GETTING RESULTS
STATION AT Triton IS REM
DERING SOUTH GEORGIA
SPLENDID SERVICE.

The service that the Coastal Plains
Experiment Station at Triton is rem
dering the farmers of Georgia is be-
coming generally recognized as ar
important factor in the development
and sterilization of the states great
est ndustry-farming- is shown in
the annual report of S. H. Starr, di-
rector of the station.
This is particularly true in south
Georgia, where, the report says, the
opportunity the coastal plains farmer
has of planting a large number OF
crops is decidedly advantageous, but
it carries with it added responsibilities.
Accurate information must be at
hand concerning economical produc-
ton and disease and insect control, ="
Mr.. Starr explained, 'it these advant-
ages are to be utilized and result in a
PORTABLE farm program.
THE experiment station through
its research activities is contributing
to this fund of information. The farm
ers are making use OF the institution,
and are looking to us to work on the
many problems needing solutions.
This interest is evidenced by the fact
that thousands of farmers annually in
spect the experiment farms and is fur
Their shown by the lage volume OF cor
respondence.
The experimental work of the sta
ton, the report points out, though
necessarily limited by lack of suffi-
Gent funds and personnel, neverthe-
less is progressing satisfactorily.

HOMES OF -FOUR HUNDRED"
FALL BEFORE THE IN
ROADS OF BUSINESS.
LIVING COSTS ARE TOO MUCH
Increase in Values of Real Estate
Brought Boost in Taxes, While the
Servant Problem Helped Drive the
Rich Away From Homes.

Servant Problem Helped DrlVe the
Rich Away From Homes.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-There is a
street in New York on which multi
milionaires can not afford to live.
Fifth avenue, running like ribbon
through Manhattan, has become the
most expensive dwelling place in the
world 1t used to be known as Mil
lionaires' Row." but now even the
rich families have to move off the
street because living expenses are too
high.
Within the last four months four
huge mansions have been doomed by
companies with skyscraper aspirations.
The husky-voiced tourist guide no
longer will point out the Cornelius
Vanderbilt mansion, the huge Hamil-
ton Fish home, the garlanded John
Jacob Aston mansion, or the William
K. Vanderbilt family castle. All have
| been doomed.
The sale of the Aston home for So
100000 really marked the fall OF Mil
lionaires' Row." Socially inclined fam
lilies who had hung on in the face OF
high taxes for these many years now
have given up hope The most elite Of
the elite is moving. Fifth avenue soor
will be bare of rich mems castles.
Taxes Go Soaring.
The reason for the transformation
of Fifth avenue is this. Real estate
values have gone soaring, and witt
them the taxes. Servants, too, are
scarce as the proverbial hens teeth
and it has come to the point where
multi-millionaires must find cheaper
homes.
For instance, the home of Corneliu:
Vanderbilt is said to have cost his es
tate nearly 100000 a year just t.
carry the property. Not cent for re-
pairs, insurance, heat, or service is in
cluded in that neat row of ciphers.
SO it is no wonder that even cap
ltain of industry would hesitate to con-
tinue to live on Fifth avenue just fol
the pleasure of being in "Millionaires
Row"
Families Are Migrating.
The result is that old society fami-
lies are selling their mansions ano
moving into exclusive apartment
houses. There they can get along with
fewer servants, and taxes are greatly
reduced. But that is not all. Most OF
the society folk have their fine homes
in other cities, notably in the south
and merely spend the months between
vacations in New York city.
This moving away OF the rich from
Fifth avenue has caused a transforms
ton along another line. Instead OF
mansions banks, apartment houses
and many places of business stand in
Fifth avenue today Business has in
vaded the street with vengeance, for
business can afford to pay big taxes
Social Color Fading.
The passing OF the great town hous-
es in Fifth avenue is going to mean
the fading out of much color in the
American social landscape. The pass
ing OF the homes of the -four hundred
will make the city somewhat less
spectacular place in which to live.

LUTHERAN MISSIONARIES TO

The mechanical improvements IN
troduced would have been consid-

They represent the work of Buick
research and engineering STATS con-

The new prices likewise represent
achievements of the engineering,
production and business depart

are in no small measure due to the
phenomenal approval of Bucks by
the public. This latter factor has
resulted in continuously increasing
sales with the attendant possibili-
ties of economies in purchasing and

the distinctive Buick lines have

such as the rounding of radiator

The next regular meeting will be
held Monday, April 20, 1925. Let's
have the combined military forces
out as a unit.
The following is another example
of what the people think of the Leg
ions work:
"The American Legion child well
fare program is conceived in accord
ance with the most progressive and
sound principles on the care of child
rem. Seeking to keep those children
in their own, or foster, homes where
they may have the kindly personal
touch of their own, or foster, mother
is of immense Importance to these
future citizens. l trust the endow-
ment fund campaign will be sue
cessful and that the American Leg
ion will be able to carry through to
successful conclusion this fine pro-
gram of service that has been in
augurated." Signed.
JOHN BARTON PAYNE.
The above is taken from a letter
written to National Commander
Drain by the chairman of the Red
Cross.
On the other hand, the Legion
must overcome by lenient measures,
if possible. a whole army of "Catts,"
such as the following:
