WHAT WILL THE STATE GET FOR THE MONEY?

The state is interested in deter mining just Tow many miles of newly paved highways are likely to eyentuate following the decision of the last Legislature to appropriate $1.oo0,o0 for new trunk line high ways and $2,000,ooo for state aid roads. Three million dollars sounds big. until one begins to figure mod ern road costs; then it doesn't look like . mountain of silver any more, even with the money obtained from other channels added.

This fancy boulevard will go down in section of the state which already has been we'll looked after in the construction Of highways
 The money that the state appro- priated diminishes in importance when the costs of modern roads are considered. Up to ten years ago an unreinforced six-inch concrete high way satisfied traffic; now nine-inch concrete roads. heavily reinforced, are the rule on the main highways. Ten years ago roads II feet wide were deemed satisfactory: now We need them 20 feet wide. and some will be 36 feet wide. The Merritt boulevard will be wide one, pos stbly ss feet.
