World to Spend Three
Billions on Highways

One hundred and ten nations and
political sub divisions of the world
will spend at least SO, OOO. 900 900 on
roads and road construction during
1891, according to an estimate made
by the Automotive Division of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. Worldwide investiga-
tions disclose the fact that in the ma
Jority OF the countries of the world
road building has been stimulated as
a measure of unemployment relief,
and as a consequence, world highway
budgets were larger in 1890 than in
1929, and are expected. in 1881, to be
larger than ever before.
That history repeats itself in this
respect. at least, is attested to by re-
cent findings in India, Asia and 9TH
er places where ancient roads have
come to light built many years ago
by sovereigns to provide employment
for their people. Many of these an
