Special Safety Campaign During
Next Twelve Months

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Safety Department will concentrate
is efforts, during the next twelve
months, in campaign which the
Safety Section Of the American Rail
way Association has started to re-
duce the number of personal injuries
to employees by 35 per cent by the
end OF the year 1880, or during the
next five years at the rate of a seven
per cent reduction a year.
The present campaign to prevent
accidents among employees will stress
two particular phases of the safety
subject each month instead of en-
phaslzlng all the features, as has
beer the custom in previous accident
prerntion crusades. The two speci-
fic causes of accidents selected by
safety officials will be given wide
publicity among employees by the use
Of large posters and bulletins con-
spicuously placed, calling attention to
safe and unsafe practices and APP
pe&ling to employees to guard life and
limb, not only Of themselves, but of
others. Statistics will also be bulle
tined monthly showing the number of
accidents to employees from railroad
operations and with suggestions rs to
how to avoid being hurt similarly.
At the regular monthly meetings Of
the thirteen divisional safety COM
mittees, on as many operating divi
sions of the more than 5000 miles
Of the Baltimore and Ohio lines, dis
cussions of how to lessen such acct
dents will feature the gatherings
These meetings will be presided over
by the divisional superintendent, who
will take an active part in this par
ticular campaign.
Each of the 10000 employees of the
Baltimore and Ohio, from the highest
officials to the humblest in the ranks,
viii be asked to do his share in carry
ing out the safety slogan of President
Willald-"Above Everything else"
"We double the wear

through the efforts of the Rotary Club
of Wilmington, a commission was ap-
pointed to make repairs to the fOun-
datiOn to insure the preservation of
the light. Plans have been submitted
by a noted engineer and a meeting to
be held this week will act upon it. Re-
hOboth Jared we'll thru the storm. The
three jetties built about three years
ago between the Hotels Belhaven and
Henlopen again demonstrated their
worth during the recent storm. While
it was the worst storm of the season
and the sea was unusually high, no
damage was done along the coast in
that section and there is no apparent
indication of damage by the storm.
The surf was up under the boardwalk
in the vicinity of the Belhaven Hotel
but there was no danger of any severe
damage to the property. The storm
was also severe along the Delaware
Bay Shore. While marshes were un-
undated and the trapping industry
more or less interfered with, the Bay
resorts were little affected. Wood
land Beach where extensive improve
ments are going on for next season
suffered no material damage.

problems that is international in its
scope. He will bring a message of
vital interest to every farmer in the
State and a good attendance is antic-
ipated. Another feature of the pro
gram will be an address by Dean C.
A. McCue of the University of Della
ware who will take as his subject
'The Marketing of Farm Products. "
Dean McCue needs no introduction to
Delaware farmers and he can always
be depended upon for some real in
formation and a very interesting talk.
Presidents of the County Bureaus will
report on the work of the year in the
County organizations. Delaware dele
gates who attended the National Con-
vention at Chicago early in December
will have interesting news from that
meeting. The program will be COM
pleted by reports from extension
workers on the educational work and
from the Field Agent of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange on coopera-
tive purchasing. Make your plans
now to attend this meeting.

Following the close of the Christ

Trustees, compose a special committee
that arranged the dedication exercises.
No date has yet been set for the dedi-
cation, but it will be either late in the
winter or early in the spring. Moth
ing definite will be done, however, un-
til the memorial tablet has been COM
pleted and placed in the building. The
old building will be torn down as soon
as possible.

of the states have installed testing
laboratories.
Q. Are there other federal funGs
available for road construction?
A. Yes. Direct appropriations by
congress for specific projects re-
sulting in benefits to the public,
also appropriations for roads and
trails within the national forests,
Indian reservations, national parks,
etc.
Q. Are these funds expended for
construction on the federal highway
system? A Not necessarily. The
federal highway act of 1921 also
provided for a forest highway sys-
TEN. This latter system is selected
subject to the approval of the sec
rotary Of agriculture, by confer
ences between representatives of
the United States bureau OF public
roads, state highway departments
and forest service. 1t involves the
| improvements which extend the
federal highway system wholly or
partly within or adjacent to the ma
tional forests, and other roads Of
primary Importance to counties or
communities.
| Q. How are these funds handled?
A. By direct expenditures through
the bureau of public roads, IN which
the government pays up to 100 per
cent of the cost of construction, or
in a reduced percentage. depending
upon the amount of cooperation
received from the state, county or
local subdivision.
O. Who has charge Of such for
est highway construction? A The
bureau of public roads makes loca-
ton surveys, designs and estimates.
Also directs the construction of all
forest highways and major devel-
Opment roads where the cost of
construction amounts to more than
| $4,000 a mile. The forest service
has charge of the survey and con-
structiOn when the cost is Sc ,0G0
or less per REINFORCEMENT on
minor forest roads and trails, not
requiring skilled engineering direc-
ton.
@. How much money is provided
for all forest roads? A. This de-
ponds entirely upon congress. The
appropriation for the fiscal years
1926 and 1927 will amount to ST.
100000 each year.
The Winslow mail., 1925-04-03

called national highway organiza-
tions? A. Absolutely none. These
organizations are financed entirely
by popular subscription and sale
of membership. Some Of the larger
ones maintain valuable statistical
divisions, legal and publicity divi-
sions and it is through these divi-
sions that the public is informed
of progress being made in highway
improvements These organizations
usually select a certain route
throughout the United States and
advertise it widely, give it name
and call upon the public for its
support. The government does not
enter into agreements with these
organizations, nor do they recog-
nize any route so fostered. How
ever, the organizations usually Sc
lect a route upon which federal aid
has been expended.
O. Does federal aid apply to
maintenance? A, No. These funds
apply to construction only.
@. What types of highways can
be built by federal aid? A. There
is no restriction in the selection of
the type. They maye be either
graded and drained, or may be of
any type involving surfacing, either
gravel, asphaltic or cement con-
crete. The type Of improvement
depends entirely upon the amount
of traffic and class of material.
@. What is the usual routine pro-
cedure in handling federal aid?
A. The route is approved by the
secretary of agriculture as being a
part of the federal highway system.
Actual location is then made by
the state, subject to approval OF
federal engineers. Plans and esti-
The Winslow mail., 1925-04-03

mate are next prepared by the state
highway department, which enters
into an agreement with the secre-
tary of agriculture, for the pro-
posed improvement. The improve
ment is advertised for bids and
award is made to the lowest bid
der, or bid may be rejected in case
the amount is in excess of the esti-
mate prepared by the state or for
other reasons specifically named
The construction is under direct
! supervision of the state highway
department, subject to inspections
and recommendation of the fed
eral engineers. Upon completion
of the improvement final inspec-
| ton is made and if all work has
been done in accordance with the
plans and specifications, the ac-
ceptance is recommended, the con-
tractor released by the state, and
the state assumes the maintenance
of the project.
@. Is the maintenance of the fed
eral aid projects by the states after
completion a requirement of the
law? A. Yes. All project agree
ments specifically provide that the
state will maintain the projects
upon completion. Failure to main
tain them automatically results in
the secretary of agriculture refus-
ing to approve any additional prof.
ects for construction.
@. Is the condition of mainte-
nance receiving the attention of
the bureau of public roads? A
Yes. Constant physical examina-
ton is made of all completed prof.
ects, and unsatisfactory conditions
are brought to the attention of the
state highway department and re-
pairs must be made within a rea-
sonable time.
@. What is the width of surfaced
highway required under the law
before the per cent system is con-
sidered complete? A. The final
improvement must have surfacing
at least eighteen feet wide. Some
projects are being costructed with
surfacing less than eighteen feet in
width, due to a lack of funds and
small amount of traffic. The agree
ments in such cases provide for
widening to eighteen feet before
additions to the system may be
made.
@. What is the maximum grade
now approved by the bureau of pub
lie roads on federal aid projects
A. The maximum grade is 6 per
cent. In extreme cases, where to
adhere to this grade would cause
an expenditure of money beyond
reason, short sections of sleeper
grade may be employed.
@. Does the bureau maintain a
laboratory for the purpose of test
ing materials entering into road
construction of highways and
bridges? A. Yes. A testing labora-
tory is, located in Washington
where all materials used in high
way construction may be tested to
establish the fact that they comply
with specifications. This service is
free to the states desiring to have
| materials tested. In addition, most
The Winslow mail., 1925-04-03

to the states are based upon the
area, population and mileage OF
roads within the state.
Q. What is the percentage of fed
eraI participation in Arizona and in
New Mexico? A In Arizona the
federal government pays Gill per
cent and in New Mexico 61.51 per
cent.
@. Can federal aid be obtained on
all roads? A No. Only such prof.
ects which are on the federal aid
highway systems.
@. What is this federal aid high
way system? A. 1t is connected
system of arterial highways that
will provide continuous highway
transportation between important
cities and will give access to main
highways within or connecting the
states. The federal highway act of
November, 1921, provided for the
establishment of such a system, the
mileage of which was based on the
mileage of all existing roads of
record in the states. Each state
certified to this mileage and 7 per
cent of the total within the state
was designated as the federal aid
system.
@. What is the length Of the fed
eral aid system in Arizona? A. To-
tai mileage is 1,498 miles.
@. What is the total length Of the
Federal aid system in New Mexico?
A. Total length is 1882 miles.
O. Can this mileage be extended ?
A. Only upon completion of the fed
eral aid system, approved.
@. Does the bureau of public roads
have any connection with the So
