If the labor in the latter items could be segregated, 1t would be found that the percentage paid for per- sonal services would be much larger, probably close to ninety per cent.'
 MT Keith described the extenI sive opera ations of the Connecticut bureau of roadside development for the purpose of showing that expenditure of moneys for roadside improvement at the present time is justified not only because of the employment it furnishes, but also because of the valuable return to motorists and the state in gen. eral.
