covering approximately 80 miles, will
be improved under the new program,
at an estimated cost of $2.500,000.
Capt. WhitehurSt has arranged the
program so that all projects provided
in the current appropriation act and
not completed in the last working sea-
son will be undertaken and we'll under
way by the time Congress passes the
1881 appropriation act. Thus, it will
be possible to carry out the seasons
program with a continuity of progress.
Work on the projects to be pro-
vided in the 1881 bill will be started
as soon as Congress enacts it, since
the highway appropriations become
available Immediately. A total of 81
surfacing and 8 grading projects were
included in the 1881 program when it
was submitted to the Budget Bureau.
Details Are Ready.
In order to avoid any delay in be-
ginning the 1881 program, Capt. White
hurst has all of the engineering de-
tails and other preliminary work ar
ranged so that contracts may be
awarded soon after passage of the APP
preparation bill. Progress on the 1881
program, Capt. Whitehurst explained.

underground construction to be done
on the streets where the surfaces are
to be improved.
