WORK
ON HIGHWAYS IS
SEEN THIS YEAR

The present year promises to be
the greatest in history in California
highway development, according to
a statement by the engineering de
rartment of the Automobile Club of
Southern California. 1t is Indicated
that on city, county and state high
ways a grand total Of $4,000 ,0O0
will be spent during 1927.
While the estimates made are
quite general. it is believed that
they are fairly accurate. In round
numbers, it is expected that the
state taxes on motor vehicles will
bring about $24,0o0,00O during the
present year. The highway bill.
which is expected to pass the legis.
lature. will bring S10,O00,00O in
state funds. Federal appropriation
for forest road and federal aid of
state roads will approximate $780,
coo making total turned into the
state of S37, 100000
Half of the gasoline tax collected
by the state is turned back into the
counties in which it originates. but
in addition to these millions it is
estimated that the counties will
spend -$l3 100000 in highway work.
According to plans in sight, the cit
les of the state will spend 5000
600 in 1927.
During the past years, engineers,
city, county and state officials have
come to realize that the big prob,
lem of today is to widen, straighten
and otherwise improve existing
roads to meet the ever-increasing
travel demands, rather than to
build new roads. 1t has been dem
onstrated that roads do not develop
travel, but travel develops roads. II
is the distribution of people that
makes travel, and roads must be
furnished to meet the needs of pop
ulation centers and well defined
needs of business.
Registration Increases
With this thought in mind the
past year has been one of tremen-
dous development in bringing to a
higher state the perfection of the
highway system of the state. AFTER
ial reads have been widened. recon
structed. straightencd, and many
new substantial bridges brought in
10 service. The demand for this
sort of work is plainly evident, ac.
cording to engineers, from the in
crease shown in motor vehicle regis
tration. making il imperative to
provide means cf facilitating traf-
fic.
During 1926 Approximately $4,000
eco was spent in widening, rcsurfac.
ING and improving state highways.
While steadily increasing population
and the ever growing urge Of TIN
people to reach the rccrcational sec
tions of the state will keep Stimu
lating demands fer new roads, the
real traffic problem to be faced is
To make the existing roads adequate
for handling the traffic they must
bear. Notable examples of this class
of work are found in me highways
across the desert in the southern
part of the state. 1t was rca1iZed
that probably years would clapse be
fore these could be paved, but in
the meantime they were improved
with facilities at hand, and the pos
Sible speed over them was increased
from l. miles per hour to as fast As
an automobile can travel.
