ANNUAL REPORT OF
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MAY 22, 1920.
To His Excellency Governor Hugh M. Dorsey,
State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga. The State Highway Board created by the Act of the General Assembly
approved August 18, 1919, and pursuant to the provisions of said Act respectfully submits its first annual report covering the operation of the State Highway Department from its reorganization in September, 1919, to )lay 30th, 1920, as follows:
1. Pursuant to being sworn in by the Governor in September, the Boal'd has held regular monthly meetings on the fourth Friday of each month and such called meetings as the exigency of its duties required.
9 Mr. W. R. Neel was chosen State Highway Engineer with a salary of $6,000.00 and as authorized by law and by action of the Board has gradually organized the staff of engineering and office employees in response to the demands of the large work devolving upon the department.
3. By action of the Board, Mr. R. C. Neely was placed in special charge of the Equipment Department, which has efficiently handled and distributed to counties the fleet of trucks received from the National Government. The value of this equipment reaches about $2,000,000 on a low estimate and will be added to under pending Congressional bills.
Similarly the Board has given Mr. S. S. Bennet special control of the matters relating to contracts and lettings, and his approval is required to give validity to all such lettings.
The chairman has been charged with special ow~rsight of engineering matters and supervision of current operation of the department.
The Board has found abundant use for the efficient services of its attorney, :Mr. H. J. Quincey, who has at all times been available and energetic in handling legal matters for the Board.
4. By authority of the Governor, the department secured rented quarters embracins the seventh floor of the Walton Building with 12 rooms under a rental contract of $262.50 per month which terminates on October 1, 1920. The building has passed into the hands of new owners and notification has been received that renewal rent contracts will be based upon $2.25 per sq. ft. of space, which will amount to $675.00 per month. Tho present quarters are conveniently located and well adapted to the work of the department, but the proposed increase of rent is so great that the question of continuance in these quarters or removal elsewhere is necessarily Taised for your decision at an early elate.
5. The Board needs not to emphasize the broad scope and complexity of detail of the important task laid upon the shoulders of the State Highway Department, nor the abnormal conditions under which its organization and functioning has proceeded during the past eight months. Essentially
3

the clepartment under the law must embody the functions of a large mauu. facturing enterprise-the Highway Law and its charter. Its task is to tnrn out State roads. Its product must be distributed over a large territor.v intelligently and equitably under the terms of its charter. Its organ. ization mus.t secnre men, materials and machinery, either dircetly or in<lirectly, to build roads and bridges and to maintain them in senice when lmilt. Ultimately it must provide and maintain a system of 4,800 miles of interconnected county seat and market roads covering the entire State.
In performance of its fnndions the Board is tharged with administration of all Federal Aid funds, of the State Road :Fund received from motor vehicle licenses, and of such county funds as may be voluntarily expendeJ by counties in conjunetion with Federal Aid projects wherein the Board is empowered to act as agent for the respective counties. It is empowered ,)]so to administer such other funds as may be voluntarily placed in its halllls for expenditure upon the system of State Aid Roads by counties or individuals.
6. The Board submits herewith the full report of the State High1Y:1v Engineer 1vhich presents in detail the organizatiou, activities and expen<1itures of thP department.
The chief source of activity lluring the year has necessarily arisen from Federal Aid projects combined with county funds. Federal funr1s for this purpose have been allotted to Georgia in Yarying annual amounts since J 916, and the sum available prior to 1920, was approximately $:3,000,000 to be met in at least equal amounts by the counties desiring to do so.
Hence the present Board receiYed a large heritage of earnest cffrFt from its predecessors on Federal Aid projects prepared under their ::ulministration. It was no fault of the precerling Board that war regulations a'nd conditions had practically stopped all road building for nearly three years and that very little of the large array of road proposals ha<1 yet proceeded to actual construction.
The 'most insistent practical duty of the deparament has therefore been to place these older projects under contract and construction, to complett the preparation of those not yet ready for contract and to push fonmer1 the preparation of new projects arising under the 192,0-21 Federal Ai1 allotment of $2,100,000.
The importance of this work was still further emphasized by certain time limit troubles which might arise from a strict enforcement of the terms of the Federal Aid Road Law'.
The efforts of the department have proceeded earnestly and it is gratifying to note that Georgia stands fourth among the States of the Union in the progress made to avail itself of the Federal Aid funds as shown by the report of the Bureau of Public Roads.
The report of the State Highway Engineer shows that the department has practically caught up with back work on Federal Aid projects; that excellent progress has been made on the 1920 program; that seven (I) projects .-alued at $564,333.00 have been completed and accepted; that

shape, and that practically all back Federal Aid allotments to Georgia are

eJ(pended or under contract.

fifty-t>YO (52) projects valued at $1,947',343. 70 a1e being prepared for

transmittal to Washington,

On September 1, 1919, thirty-one (31) projects Yalucd at $3,059,307.58

were under construction, including contracts to the amount of $1,581,643.40,

awarded shortly before the new board was organizeu. At that time $37,-

018.00 had been repaid to the counties on these contracts.

It has required much energy to increase this construction activity to the $9,060,603.90 now shown, with the reimbursement of $875,97'4.97' from the :Kational treasury for completed work now shown.

\\'hile this large amount of work has been placed under construction, it is to be noted that contractors have been greatly hampered in the rate of progress by delays from >Ye>~ther and uncertain deliwry of materials. About $2,000,000 of >vork >YaS performed during the past year. It 'viii requir<l the utmost energy and good fortune during the corning year for contractors and the counties to complete the remaining $i,OOO,OOO work for which they are obligated. It is probable that more than a year will be required unless some means of supplying cement, broken stone, and other materials can be devised. Shortage of milroad transportation and of cement are the most serious factors in the problem at this time, and absolutely control the rate of construction. Labor uncertainties are likewise yery acute.
7. The Board has giYen much thought to the kind of organization >vhich could best perform the large and complex duties that are embraced under its direction.

EJ(perience has been gathered concerning the use of project engineers employed on a percentage basis. A high class of men had been engaged in this work and no criticism upon their energy or ability could be justly mad<>. But the system inYolYes a number of difficulties which "1\-ould increase with the enlargement of the State progmm and carries other features not well adapted to the permanent relation "1\'hich the State is assuming toward highway building. Hence, on ,January 1st, the Board adopted the plan of placing a division engineer with the necessary assistants in each Congressional district and the staff now undertakes directly the preparation of plans and supervision of construction connected with all State road buildings. This plan promises the following advantages:

1. A more compact organization, a greater uniformity of methods and a thoroughly trained personnel.

2. A closer supernswn of construction work. 3. Lower cost of operation. 4. Closer touch between the resident division engineer and the people of the district in local road problems. 5. A more intimate knowledge of the needs, resomces and road con,]i. tions of each district and hence better judgment in planning and executing any work proposed. The division engineer is looked upon as the direct representative of his district charged with protecting its interests before the Board and with the responsibility of expending the district allotments systematically an.:! efficiently upon the State roads in his territory. The men selected for these positions are engineers of capacity and experience. They understand the large service to which they are called, and the opportunity they enjoy of becoming constantly more and more useful to the districts under their charge. The necessary economy and flexibility of the plan is secured by regulating the number of field and office men in each di,ision by the volume of work in progress in that division, and by transfer of trained men from one division to another as required. The large program of back work on Federal Aid projects has justified the Board in expanding the force rapidly to meet that senice. It is felt that the present force represents a maximum, and that with the completion of the surveys and plans embraced in the current program, a reduction in personnel will probably occur. The system as administered is flexible in this regard, giving permanent employment only to a sufficient number of trained men to preserve the efficiency of the field and office work. The headquarters organization has been kept to a minimum consistent with the large volume of work which must pass through its hand in connection with Federal co-operation and general supervision. The chief enlargement has been in the Accounting Department, where the number of accounts involving State, county and Federal money demands tho utmost care. All Federal aid projects represent county expenditure, and must be kept in such form that the reimbursement certificate to which the county is entitled under the law shall be accurately shown. All employees are required to file a daily report of tho exact work upon which they have been engaged. In this way the expenses chargeable to every project are distributed and valuable cost data concerning all phases of construction items can be prepared. This accuracy and completeness of record requires an adequate accounting force.
Connected with the large amount of road building equipment recehed from the U. S. Government through the Department of Agriculture anJ the distribution of the same to many counties, a separate set of books has been required to keep accurate record of what has proven a large business in itself.
The financial statements of the chief clerk embodied in the report of the State Highway Engineer will show how each fund and each separate project is handled in detail by the department.

sTATE :'IIAP. B. One of the most difficult and important duties of the department ha~
})een the preparation of the State Aid !Wad Map. This work was earnestly prosecuted and early in January a preliminary draft was made ublic. A few adjustments were made based on additional data secured by fhe division engineers, upon ;-alid suggestions n1ade in a spirit of helpfulness in certain sections of the State. A copy of the map is submittel herewith. It sho\vs the network of 4,800 miles of State aid roads and in addition a few equally important connecting links to the system which the engineers deem necessary to give essential traffic efficiency (indicated as Federal aid roads). These additions are deemed of equal importance with the State roads and in the judgment of the Board the General Assembly would do well to include them in the system.
1920 ALLOTMENTS.
9. When the Board came to consider the utilization of funds in process of collection for 1920 under the motor Ytlhicle la,v, an estimate was made of anticipated receipts \vhich has now been realizecl by collections. The available funds in the hands of the State Treasurer haYe reached $1,720,000 at this writing. As required by law, the Boarcl made an apportionment to each di.-ision or road district based on the percentage of State roads in that district. These sums were then separated into the 30% anl 70% amounts required by law. Careful estimates and recommendations were submitted by the several division engineers as to projects in each division to \vhich these funds should be allotted. There was also available for 1920-21, the sum of $2,700,000 from Federal aid. Abundant applications were on hand from many counties earnestly seeking to place equal amounts of county money along side of both Federal and State funds for expenditure on the State roads. Such offers by the counties were entirely voluntary and in no sense a requirement by this Board.
Upon recommendation of the State High\vay Engineer, a program of contingent allotments to Yarious projects was adopted which used to best ad>antage in each case, either Federal and county funds, county and State funds, county, State and Federal funds, or State funds alone, keeping strictly within the law as to the usc of the State funds within each district and within the 70% ancl 30% provisions.
The new law contemplates that engineering costs shall be paid by the State and enough State funds were associated with Federal and county funds to at least defray these costs. In allotting Stat<J funds, a portion of the anticipated income was reserved to care for maintenance on roads taken over by the State, for emergency use in counties unable to avail themselves of Federal aid, and for contingent purposes which might arise in connection with the purchase of road building materials in advance as other States are so largely doing.
The list of active projects in progress in the State includes Federal aid and State aid allotments in 106 counties and the division engineers are preparing reports looking to the assumption of jurisdiction over certain roads in other counties for maintenance by the State.

ASPECTS OP NATIOXAL LEGISLATION.
10. The appropriations of aid in road building by the Federal Govern. ment expire with the allotments for the fiscal year 1920-21. Of the $275 . 000,000 appropriated hitherto about $50,000,000 has been actually expende(i
New measures looking to continuance of Federal aid are pending bu~ not being vigorously pushed to passage in view of the unexpended balances and the large demai1ds upon the treasury for other purposes.
Two views of future highway appropriations' are being debated. The Chamberlain and similar bills seek to continue this aid substantially on the basis established by the original Bankhead law. The Townsend bill favors the 1reation of a special commission and the appropriation for direct an,] independent construction of a system of national roads by the National treasury with nvo such roads in each State. The effect of the Townsclnd bill is essentially to discontinue the allotment of Federal aid to the States as at present.
The Association of State Highway officials is on record as opposing the Townsend bill if it means the termination of the existing form of Federal aid. The Board joins in this view of the matter so far as Georgia is concerned. No action by Congress is expected at the current session.
THE BUDGET.
11. Shortly prior to January 1st, the Board as required by law, submitted its budget of proposed expenditures. The budget was based upon a study of direct reports received from 37 State highway departments as to the costs of administration and of engineering work, and the percentages which these expenses bear to the value of the money invested in road construction. It is generally recognized that the engineerin'g work done by highway departments is an integral part of thil cost of the roads and only a part of the liberal budgets allowed in other States are regarded as general or overhead expense.
The Board has provided in its accounting for daily distribution of such engineering items to the various projects and regards as support of the department those portions of the expense which cannot be readily appor tioned to specific projects at the time they are incurred. In this Tl'ay, the Board arrived at an estimate which places the normal general expense pertaining to headquarters and the twelve district organizations employing on the average about 120 men at $15,000.00 per month and that other direct expenses of surveys, maps, estimates, specifications and supervision of projects from start to finish would not exceed 5% upon the value of the work constructed.
The Board therefore respectfully submits for your continued appro,a! the same budget proposals which were filed with you in January and asks that it be continued as applicable to the coming year.
EXPENDITURES.
12. The department support from September, 1919, to January 1, 19:20, was cared for by a special appropriation of $2,5,000.00. These accounts

were duly audited at your instance by a public accountant and a copy of his report has been filed in your office. The expenditures from January Jst to May 1st, 1920, are shown by the financial statements attached to this report, both in consolidated form, and in distributed form on the various projects in each district. A nmv audit will be taken as on June
30th next. It may throw light upon the figures of the }Jngineer 's report, pages 14
to 21, to submit the following analysis: The actual money expended to :i\Iay 1st was $144,595.68, of this sum
$73,466.66 was spent directly upon surveys, maps, plans and supervision of the 189 projects shown as active on the books. $22,015.99 was expende1 for the equipment of 14 offices with transits, levels, drawing boards, fur niture and other necessary equipment, a detailed inventory of which is also shown, and for rebuilding and outfitting 57 Ford cars and ambulances received from the U. S. Government and now in use by the department. $20,341.66 was placed to the credit of the Charlton County project which is being constructed directly by the State with the use of 50 convicts furnished by the Prison Commission.
Of the $47,984.98 shown for organizing and operating expenses of head quarters and 12 district offices, a reasonable distribution of service ren dered wonld place at least half of this against the specific projects served by the various officials and employees of the department. But taken as it stands, the four months expenditures is considerably less than the $15,000.00 per month used as a basis of estimate in the budget.
The bills receivable item of $4,305.02 represents earned reimbursement for engineering supervision on projects taken over from the former project engineers. These projects so taken over aggregate $2,653,534.00 on which the State will receive from the U. S. Government and the counties approxmately 314% when the projects are finally completed.
Analyzing the $73,466.66 expended on actual projects credits of more than $11,000.00 have already been earned. on construction supervision an<l the mileage of new surveys and plans prepared since January lst. which aggregate 355 miles, would greatly exceed the whole item if it had been paid for by the counties at the 3% of estimated cost formerly allowed to project engineers, even for low priced sand clay roads at $10,000.00 per mile, which is now a minimum estimate.
UNUSUAL CONDITIONS.
13. The normal duties of a state highway department have been made most difficult by the abnormal conditions which nmv control labor, roal materials and transportation.
It is a tribute to the newly organized department and its chief that so many contracts have been placed, that so much construction has been inaugurated, that a staff of capable and earnest engineers has bent itself so promptly to a large task and accomplished tangible results in fhe months' time in the face of most unusual conditions.
High prices in every line have unsettled the ;judgment of value and the

temptation has been to call a halt and wait until economic sanity returns.

But the road movement cannot be abandoned. Every aspect of the eco.

nomic needs of the people clamors for the public highway as the one hope

of reasonable pressed actiw

and permanent relief. construction 'vhile it

Hence the department diligently watched every

has considered ever-y feasible means of lessening absolute expenditure and

sE'curing maximum results.

It has sought to lower costs by modified forms of contract which divide

the risks between ow1ier and contractor; by modified paving specifications

to secure less costly types adapted to our soil and climate; by encouraging

counties to develop local supplies of road material and to become their

own contractors. and in many ways to prepare for future contracts o11 in telligent and cost saving lines. It has purposely encouraged the constru~

tion of a large mileage of saud clay roads as the first stage in prepara-

tion for more permanent paving.

The broad proposition of the State providing its own paving materials

ha.~ been forced upon the Board and is under careful consideration. Under

the stress of soaring prices, the Prison Commission has cordially co-operated

with the Boarc1 by fumishing a force of 50 convicts for construction di-

rectly by the department of a 20-mile project in Charlton County on the

important route through waycross and Folkston to .Jacksonville. Excel-

lent progress is being made on this work at prices much below prevailing

bids. Careful cost data are being kept to show just what construction

work of this kind does actually cost.

Using the connty forces of Irwin and Ben Hill Counties, the department

will pave the road between Fitzgerald and Ocilla as a further object lesson

in type and construction cost under department management.

It is clearly apparent that the unusual conditions are a challenge to the

energy and ingenuity of the department; and that challenge is being ac-

cepted wherever the promise of securing results seems to exist. Fortunately

the new law has proven an excellent and liberal one and permits the Board

to proceed in accord with the dictates of sound business judgment.

GENERAL POLICY GF THE BOARD.
14. Vimving the State highway movement in its broader aspects as a fundamental undertaking of State policy which muRt commend itself to the General As.Sembly and the people of Georgia, the Board has proceedeil in the light of the following analysis.
1. It has endeavored to secure a widespread distribution of available funds consistent with systematic plans and effective continuity in each Congressional district and has under immediate consideration ways of assisting the less fortunate counties by taking over certain roads therein for maintenance and gradual betterment.
2. It has relieved a prolific sour(e of discontent by providing for the payment of engineering costs directly by the State.
3. It has encouraged direct contact between co-operating county offi cials, the division engineers and the general officers.

The State Highway Engineer and the Chief Field Engineer have been constantly and anluously engaged in attending and aiding contract lettings and directing field operations. A better understanding of the opera. tion and significance of the whole movement is being gained in all parts
of the State. 4. Two important results have been sought, viz: To perfect a business-
like organization capable of efficient, prompt and safe handling of roa.f plans and road expenditures; and the substantial agreement of the people on the system of State roads as represented by the State highway map. The Board feels that both of these most essential ends have been largely advanced and that the unselfish and broad minded assent of the people is substantially behind the principle that a limited mileage of State roads as embodied in the State map is the only feasible way to begin effective progress toward a system of State highways.
5. It is difficult for the minds of the people and county officials to abandon entirely the idea of county identity in connection with the State roads; but an increasing number are approving the State-wide view of this problem and realize that a successful State system of roads must be sup ported by State funds and must not hesitate at county lines, or proceed upon annual expenditure of small sums in each of the 155 counties of thE State.
6. The Board has deep sympathy with the road problem difficulties in the smaller and less well developed counties and it sees in the issuance of State bonds the best means for adequately and promptly aiding such communities and bringing them into close touch with the whole State.
7. The Board is impressed with the necessity of completing the program of legislation proposed at the last session looking to necessary constitutional changes and the issuance of State road bonds along lines upoa which the Senate has already taken favorable action.
Such bond issue commends itself upon the following grounds.
1. The motor vehicle receipts can clearly support a large issue, up to $40,000,000, without demanding increase of other taxation.
2. State bonds will more promptly release county funds for local use and simplify co-operation with federal funds.
3. Such assured financing permits the Board to formulate a construe tion program for longer periods and to provide in advance for materials to carry it through. Under present conditions this seems necessary if really substantial construction progress is to be secured.
4. Anticipating reaction from the present inflated conditions, the existence of this large State enterprise is a safeguard against total collapse and distressing unemployment conditions.
5. Provision being made for gradual issuance of the bonds as condi tions may warrant, the prospect exists of lower prices, of sustained activity and of substantial accomplishment in the. next few years. The ability of the State, through bonds, to take advant~ge of the conditions which seem
11

shortly inevitable will mean economy and progress in the realization of the demands of the people for improved highways.
15. In conclusion, the Board realizes that the successful prosecntion of the work committed to it, while primarily based upon the laws as enacted depends equally upon the broad acceptance of the spirit of those laws b; the people and local road authorities. No law can be drawn covering such a wide State interest which by its innovations upon the previous status is not subject to misunderstanl1ing and resistance in the courts. The Board is most deeply appreciative of the sympathetic attitude thus far generally maintained by the county road authorities and the general public. It h~s striven and will continue to strive to deserve the confidence of the public and it imokes the continuance of that confidence without which its Jabots must be largely in Yain.
The Board has endeavored to keep your Excellency in constant touch with its developing duties and plans, and has received the most cordial and helpful assistance from your active interest in its >vork. It acknowleuges with deep appreciation the many ways in which your counsel and your sympathetic aid have made possible the progress thus far attained toward intelligent handling of this increasingly dtal moYement for a, system of adequate highway transportation for the people of this great State.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
to
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD
By MR. W. R. NEEL
State Highway Engineer

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Atlanta, Ga., May 30, 1920. To The Honorable State Highway Board,
s. Dr. C. :\I. Strahan, Chairman; R. C. :Neely, Commissioner; Stanley
Bennet, Commissioner.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit report covering the operations of the Highway
Department up to May 30, 1920. Although the ne\v highway law \Vas passed last summer, the funds pro-
vided in this law were not available from the motor vehicle Ia" until after January 1, 1920; therefore, the Engineering Department \vas not fnlly reorganized until after this date.
It is customary to allow a certain time to be designated as the organiza. tion period, when the expenses are not charged to the cost of operation, and I feel that the months of January and February should be charged off in this way. However, the new organization is now working smoothly and is already handling a $12,000,000.00 business, and is so organized that the money from a large State bond issue cim he economically and succPssfully administered and expended.
Everyone in the State is familiar with the difficulties that have con fronted the road builder during the last t\velve months. X ot only \Ycre the necessary materials for road and bridge construction scarce, but they were extremely high priced and difficult to transport to the work. Labor also was scarce, expensive and unsatisfactory. Last of all, the \Yeather was very unfavorable for any kind of high\vay construction: The rainfall since January 1 is already over 11 inches in excess of normal.
This unusually heavy rainfall has also retarded the progress of the engineers in making surveys and all outside work.
DAJ\IAGE BY FLOODS.
Two storms of unusual severity swept the northern and central portions of the State and did untold damage to roads and bridges. In these see tions of the State thousands of dollars in bridges and culverts were lost.
The new bridge work that was being undertaken under the snpervision of the Highway Department was held up, due to constant high wate:, and as a consequence, work that should have been completed is still under \Yay, and other projects were delayed in starting.
IXCREASED PRICES.
Due to the great activity after the war in every line of construction \York, the scarcity of materials, uncertain and constantly increasing cost of Tai!Toacl transportation, and unsatisfactoTy labor conditions, contractors have steadily increased their bids on all classes of road work, especially paving and bridge work, which involves the nse of materials anr1 raill'oa:l

transportation. The present bid prices are from 50% to 60% higher this year than those received during 1919.
Cement has become so difficult to secure that no bids are asked for comrete pavements. The Cement Association, hmvever, has given assur ance that enough cement will be furnished on the State work to at least complete the bridges and culverts contemplated in our present program.
In ,-iew of this threatened shortage of all road building materials, bids ,vere requested for furnishing and applying three million gallons of asphalt .for use in construction of 120 miles of asphalt macadam roads and this amount has been contracted for.
I do not think it advisable to contemplate any paving at this time invohing the use of materials difficult to secure, and requiring the use of much railroad equipment, unless it be extremely urgent. I believe it wouhl be advisable to confine our work to the relocation of the roads, grading and construction of drains and smfacing them 1vith a local material until conditions are materiajly improved. In this \Yay, a maximum mileage of the State system can be prepared for receiving a clurable surface at a later date, when \Ve can be assured of greater construction progress. 2-Iore in tensiw maintenance on a road temporarily surfaced is preferable to ex pending such large sums for hard surfaced pavements.
CO-OPERATIO"" WITH COUNTIES AND FEDERAL GOVERN}H~XT.
I am foreed to call attention to the many delays necessary where ther are so many different interests to be consulted before construction 1vork can actually be started on a Federal aid project.
In order to get the year's program of construction under way, ,-aluablc> time is lost in meetings with county commissioners, securing the Tesolutiom required by the Federal Government, transmitting them, and awaiting ap proval of the Bureau of Public Roads.
when there are so many counties, and these generally with Yery large' commissions, 1vhich meet only once each month, and generally ahout the same period in the month, it is practically impossible to gc>t the actual construction of the roads under way without losing two or three months of the road building season; as a consequence, canying the construetio!l into the follo\ring winter at great expense both to the counties anti the State and also inconwnience to the tra\eling public. I do not say this in any \Yay >1s a tritil'ism of the county officials, whom I ha1p found desirous at all times to aid in this work as much as possible. As a matter of fact, they are inconvenienceil and annoye<l morp under the prese11t ar rangement than is the department.
lt is my judgment that the cost of building our roads can be greatly reduced if the counties can he relieved of this responsibility and the State system be constructed entirely by and at the expense of the department. 'l'he difficulties of dealing with the Federal Government will be materially lessened as most of the red tape requirements are due to the fact that the count~ authorities form a third party to all agreements. I am satisfied that the county authorities would welcome such a plan.

Shoulu the present automobile license fees be capitalized and a large State bon<l issue provided, there would be sufficient funds available without asking the eounties to aid in this work. In this way, all county bond issues and road funds eould be properly used exclusively in the construction of purely county roads, thus insuring the systematic development oJ the ,mtire road system of the State.

BRIDGE PLA;'\B,

It has been the plan of the department to construct as many permanent

briuges as possible. As a consequence, there has been constructe<] or

contracted for 22large river bridges, at an estimated eost of $2,213,fii7.9+

and 3fl smaller bridges at an estimated eost of $415,144.99.

'

RAILROAD CROSSil\GS.
Surveys anJ plans for the elimination of railroau grade crossings haw been prepared on almost all the road work undertaken. Fifty-five gTrule crossings are in process of elimination at this time.
In nearly all instances, the railroads have co-operated in this work. This is not only to the achantage of the traveling public, but it also save~ the railroads from damage suits and other expenses.
The complete elimination of all grade crossings is so important, at least on the State system of highways, over 'vhich the greatest moyr,. ment of traffic will take place, that a law should be enacted requiring the railroads to construet either overhead crossings or underpasses, "her.> the grade crossing cannot be completely done a'Yay by relocation of the highway.

FEDERAL AID ROADS AND BRIDGE PROJECTS.
There are at present time 143 projects in 106 counties of the StatP, im,ohing a total expenditme of $12,215,468.89 an<l other projects are being initiated in almost all of the remaining eonnties of the State "n which Federal aid is allotted.

Sl!lLECTION OF STATE SYSTEM.
A comprehensive system of highw~ys, eom1ecting tounty sites, an<1 in eYery way conforming to the law as enact.>d by the last General Assembly, has been mapped out and approYed by the Boan1.
In preparing the map, T found that the roads necessary to make a co!ll~ plete State system, and equitably serve every community, exceeded the 4,800 mile limitation. Therefore, I haYe shmm adllitional roads on t h< map and designate<} them ''Federal Ai<l Roads.'' I consider these roads of equal importance and necessity as the State aid roads shown on the map of the State system, and recommend that the State system he elllarged to inclU<le these additional roads, designated as Federal ~.\.id road;.;.
The exact location of the State highways has not been determined, aml cannot be until the actual suneys haYe been made, but the county seat connections are shown, which fixes the roads in a general way. The exact mileage eannot be determined until after the surYeys have been made. J

commend that the preliminary surveys be completed upon this entire restem as soon as possible. In this way all rights of way can be secured,

well as specifispecifications.

Standard plans showing typical cross sections of different types of

roads were prepared, also standa1ds for various sizes of culverts, both

plain and reinforced and of box an.d arch types, and severa: standard bridge plans were prepared and pnbhshed. Othe1 standards w1ll be pre

pared as needed.

DIVISION ENGINEER-S. The law under 1vhich we arc operating provides that all 1oad fu11ls

must be apportioned to the Congressional districts designated as road

districts in proportion to the number of miles of road in the district com-

pared with the total in the State as sho\\-n on the map of the State system.

In order to secure an intelligent and efficient handling of these funds

within each District, a division engineer thoroughly versed in highway

location and construction was assigned to each district and given entire

charge of all work therein. As the law further provided that work must begin simultaneously in

each district, each division engineer was given a sufficient force to make surveys, prepare maps, interpret specifications, and direct the construction

of all road work within the district, the funds for the year's program

having also been apportioned simultaneously.

The old construction work, for which plans had been prepared by project

engineers working under the old system, has been taken over and is being supervised by the engineering organizatio11s of the department in the

twelve road districts. The new plan, put into effect January 1, 1920, of handling all en-

gineering wol'k by engineers working directly for the department, is

proving very satisfactory. Before this plan was adopted, very fe1v counties

of the State were receiving any benefit from the Fedeml aid, as they

1vere not sufficiently well informed, under the old plan, to know how to

obtain this aid. Under the present plan, the division engineer is in close touch with every county within his district, and is looking out for their

interest, and already a big increase in the number of Federal aid projects

is noted. As the work develops, and the engineers become more thoroughly familiar

with local conditions and road building materials, these organizations can

greatly aid the counties in their road and bridge work and can render

assistance, when called upon, in other ways.

The present plan will particularly benefit those counties not able to employ engineers, and wiil enable the State engineers to assist all counties

in their local problems.

11

HIGHWAY 'fRAFFIC CB:\SUS.
The traffic census is being taken on all the State roads m the various divisions; in tliis way an intelligent selection of types of roatl and construction may be determine<1.
The concentration of the greatest portion of traffic on a limite<! mileage of road has conclusively demonstrated the possibility of giving service to the public by improving, with expensive pavements, a comparatively small percentage of the highways, which in general constitutes the direct lines of communication between or radiating from population centers. The present State system, app1oximating 5,000 miles of road, will scne 85% of the people of the State. This State system is, approximately, 67o of the miles of road of the State.
PROGRESS MADE IN ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Georgia being primarily an agricultural State, the State s.vstem has been mapped out to serve these interests, and all funds have been apportioned with the vie" of systematically bringing np the entire system to a gradual state of perfection. while apparently the funds have been scattered all over the State, a comprehensin plan has been worked ont and continuous highways are already being connected up.
FEDERAL AID APPROPRIATIONS.
The Federal Aid Act, passed by Congress in 1916, appropriated a tot:tl of $75,000,000.00 to be distributed among the States on a fin year allotment plan. This provided an average appropriation for the State 0J Georgia for each of the five years of approximately $403,!i67.64.
There >Yas passed another bill by Congress to increase the total amoun of Federal aid to $100,000,000.00 per year, >vhich, on the same basis ot distribution appropriated to this State approximately $2,700,000.00 pPr year; the last appropriation being a1ailable June 30, 1920. Therpfore, this year will see the last amount appropriated by C'011gres,;, unless one of the proposed bills now pending is passed.
There is a growing sentiment in Congress that the .Federal aid is be>ng ~rattered by the States over too great a mileage, and as a result a powerful effort is being made to pass the 'l'ownsend bill, which pro1ides for the construction by the Federal Government of national highways, at least tiYo such highways to be constructed in each State.
L am Yery much afraid if this bill is passed, Federal ai(l IYill be discontinued, which wili be a calamity to the State of Georgia, as a great many counties hnl"e Yoted bonds conditiollet] upon securing a like amount from the Federal Government. It would seem adl"isable for Federal aid to be eontinued for at least five years, and then the national highway prog-ram could be properly substituted.
R.ESTR.ICTIKG EXPBNDI'YURES FOR PAVING Al\'D BRIDGE PRO.JECTR.
It has become ne(pssary recently to reject several bids, dut> to the high priees, and it is m~ opinion that all paYing must ceasp unless a ne1v fonn
18

of contract is used which will remove some of the Tisks now assumed entirely by the contractors.
It would seem advisable, in view of the large program of construction ahead of this department, that a careful survey of the available road building materials should be made and steps taken to provide these at a reasonable price for the use of the State in the construction of its high-
ways.
CHANGES IN ROAD LOCATIONS. It is advisable to carefully relocate the highways of the State system
before constructing same, in view of the large expenditure involved in hard surface pavement. Relocations should be made, wherever possible, to avoid grade crossings, to eliminate dangerous curves, and to shorten the distance, thereby reducing the first cost of construction and later the cost of maintenance.
ROAD LETTINGS. This department has done everything possible to secure competition in
the letting of all contracts, not only by publishing the necessary ailvertisements for the work in a number of the weekly papers, but personal notices have been sent from this office to every known contractor.
There have been 89 contracts advertised and 66 contracts awarded.
MOTOR EQUIPMENT.
The State has received a great deal of very valuable motor and othel' equipment from the War Department, as directed by Congress. It has been necessary to organize a department to properly handle and distribute this equipment to the various counties entailing some expense. we hae had to pay all loading and freight charges, unloading, distributing and in most cases extensive repairs to trucks. We have also received a great many spare parts' for trucks, valued at over $200,000.00. It has been necessary to secure a warehouse for proper storage in order that this material might be supplied the counties for the operation of their trucks as needed. Carloads of materials have been received, and it has been necessary to unload and reconsign this material to the various counties of the State. All of the motor vehicles have been ins'urecl, and already ovet $2,000.00 has been paid the State by insurance companies for trucks which have been burned in the counties.
In order to aid the counties in the use of these trucks and at the same time insure the preservation and intelligent use of them, inspectors are constantly visiting the various counties, seeing that the motor vehicles arc running with sufficient oil, . are being properly housed and doing work for which they were designed. These inspectors also aid in the proper instruction to the drivers of the motor vehicles, whom we have found, in a number of instances, to be entirely ignorant of the proper handling of this equipment.
As no funds were provided for this work, the counties have been calleu upon to deposit with the Highway Department ten per cent (10%) of the
19

1alne of the equipment, 'vhieh we estimate will cover the above expenses. There has been a recent bill enacted by Congress, which provides for
thl' further distribution of excess war equipment, such as tractors, rack crushers, road rollers, asphalt plants, pumps, hoisting machine, etc., but specifies that 20% of the value of this equipment must be paid to the War Department.
STATE AID. Under the recent highway law, the funds from th<J motor vehicle li('en,e
fee are tmned over to the Highway Department with direction that these funds be distributed to each Congressional district.
The di1ision t>ngineers Yisited each county in theiir respective distri('ts and rpcomnH'IH1ed the apportionment of the available funds for this year's work. As a consequence, almost every county in the State will receive some part of these fmu1s or in lieu thereof, :B'ederal funds. The distribution of these funds to the large unit, such as the Congressional or Hoad district, makes it possible to concentrate sufficient funds in a given year to construct large bridges, and other important road projects 'vhich benefit the entire State, whereas, were these funds apportioned to the counties on the old basis there would not be a sufficient amount to make any appreciable headway to1vard construction and paving the highway system, an,] the overhead expense of directing one hundred and fifty-sev~n small pro jects would be enormous.
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMIiNT. The recent highway law provides that as these Stat<' roads are con
structed, they must be taken o1er and maintained by the Highway Depart meut, relieving the counties from any further expense. ]n view of this provision of the law, and as several roads ha1e already been completed, a Maintenance Dt>partrnent has been organized, and is being equipped witlt some of the equipment which ha sheen reeei,ed from the Government. On~ of the pricipal failures in highway work, resulting in enormous loss, is the failure to begin the maintenance early enough to prevent the deterioration of the highway. It has been a fault and the general practice to construct a new roadway, and, having completed it, leave it to the traffic and the elements until it has been nearly worn out before means for proper upkeep are provided. The :\iaintenance Department to me is the most important department connected with our work, and as the construction of the system of State 1oads progresses, it will increase in size and importance, and should be adeEJuately provided for. Any highway law providing funds should specify that sufficient thereof must be taken for maintenance of roa<ls already constructed, and the excess used in new construction.
The French method, which has proven so efficacious, treats the question of maintenance in exactly the same manner as a line of railway would be, having the properly constituted road gangs for work every day of the year, so that the road is never allowe dto get in a state of bad repair.

ANNUAL REPORT ORGANIZATION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Reference to the annual report of the State Highway Department for the year ending .June 15, 1919, \Yill show that there was then only the nnclen:; of an organization for handling the engineering work in compliance \Yith the Federal Aid Act.
Follolving the appointment by the Governor of the three members of the State Highway Board, the State Highway Engineer was cleeted, and h" thereupon proceeded to perfect the organizatiion in accordance with the provisions of the act. Certain funds were made available for carrying out the rPquirements of the Act, but the full purposes, as defined in the Art, Wt>re not possible until after the first of January, when the monP.v provided by the Motor Vehicle Law came within the jurisdiction of the State Highway Board; therefore, the first effort of the State Highway Engineer was to start the framework of his organization, so that when sufficient funds were available, he could build upon this framework, an.l since the first of the year, the full o1ganization as contemplated has been at work.
The State Highway Department of Georgia is composed of the State Highway Board, consisting of three members appointed by the Governor (one each from northern, middle and southern sections of the State). There is an attorney for the Board, who is also appointed by the Governor.
The State Highway Engineer, who is elected by the Board, is vested with executive authority, and is head of tlie staff of engineering and offke employees. Directly under the State Highway Engineer is the Assistant State Highway Engineer, who has charge of the office and the general supervision of all of the work handled by the department, actin;r

21

in the name of the State Highway Engineer. There is a full staff <'f computors and draughtsmen, and a Bridge Department, for the review and approval of all plans, estimates and contracts, as required under the Federal Aid Act, the same general plan being also followed in the preparation of plans for all State projects.
In the administering of the large sums of money from the Yarions sources that the State Highway Department has to handle, an efficient accounting and auditing department was installed. The accounts arc carefully kept with proper distribution of receipts and expenditure$, and it is possible to show in a few moments the cost of every project that is being handled by the department in all its various stages.
In compliance with the resolution of the Board, an audit was made as of September 1, 1919, and again as of January 1, 1920, both of which showed that the accounts were being properly kept. Another audit will be made as of June 30, 1920, and thi's will be placed in the hands of the Legislature as soon as it is completed.
Under the old plan, and because of insufficient funds, it was necessary to employ what was known as project engineers, who did the field work and prepared plans for Federal aid projects under the fee or contract system. As soon as possible after the organization of the department, a successful effort was made to eliminate the project engineers as far as possible from the old projects, agreements having been reached with practically all of them whereby they turned over their contracts for engineering to the department. This was done in the interest of economy and efficiency.
In order to handle the work properly, a Chief Field Engineer, ha\ing direct supervision of all field work, was appointed. Acting under him are twelve (12) division engineers, one being located in each of th0 twelve Congressional districts. The division engineer is the direct point of contact between the department and the various county officials in each of the Congressional districts, and he also has entire charge of all the engineering work in his district. The immediate results of the system have been most satisfactory, and as time goes on, it is the confident belief that great benefit to the State and the department, and to the counties, will be had from these division engineers. Each division engineer has a corps of assistants and inspectors, who handle the details of the engineering work in making surveys, preparing plans and supervising construction.
As there are now about 200 active projects in the State, comprising more than 900 miles of road and 30 bridges, at a cost of more than $12,500,000.00, it will be seen that there is a great deal of work for these engineers, and the necessity for them will be recognized.
With the receipt from the War Department of equipment of all sorts, it was quickly realized that an organization would be necessary to l?roperly handle and distribute this equipment, and thereupon an Equipment Branch of the Department was organized under an Equipment Engineer

having under him a force of ,mechanics, and also capable inspectors to periodically examine and report on condition of the trucks and other equipment owned by the State, but turned over to the counties for use on roads of the State.
Under the provision of the act, the State Highway Department is re quired to maintain the roads on the system of State aid roads as tlwy ~re completed. Effective May 1, a Maintenance Department with a small force was organized, the administrative end being ha)ldled by the general office, and the Equipment Engineer was designated as Acting Maintenance Engineer. Five (5) projects that have just been completed were taken over and the maintenance assumed by the department on May 1, 1920. As other projects are completed from time to time, this branch will gradually grow, and upon it will devolve the chief work of the State Highway Department. The whole strength and value of the State highway law, and the beneficial results to be derived from it will be in proportion to the manner in which the roads as built are properly maintained, and the Highway Department will give the feature of the work its chief thought and attention.
AUDITING DEPARTMENT
This department has supervision of all moneys receiYed and expended and the keeping of the proper records of the acconnting system, both in the general office and the several district offices, also in the several pr11jects. This is diredly under the Chief C'lc>rk and is divided into the following divisions:
1. Main Highway Department. :!. Truck Department. :-;. District Organization.
-. Cost Accounting on Projects.
The third and fourth divisions are subsidiary to the first but on account of the large amount of work involved, it became necessary to make these subdivisions.
Attached hereto you will find itemized statements of Highway Department, Truck Department, Charlton County Fund, Upson County Fund ancl Taylor County Fund.
To the Highway Department you will find (1) Itemized statement of projects by districts, showing amounts chargeable to salaries, travel and incidentals; the indicental charges including such items as stakes and engineering fees; also the following subdivisions:
A. Representing surveying. B. Maps and plans. C. Supervision of construction. D. Amounts chargeable directly to construction.

ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS.
The department is using every effort to eliminate dangerous grade cross. ings. X ot less than fifty-three (53) grade crossings have been eliminated up to the present time in Federal Aid Projects which have already been approvcu. The means use<l for pJimination of the clangerous grade crossings h:n-e been by overheau, underpass and the relocation of the highways. The elimination by relocation is far in the lead, show very clearly how, in many cases, careful engineering study of the conditions will improve the location of roads and goes a long way towards justifying the employment of competent engineers in higlmay location and construction. Forty-four (44) t1angerous grade crossings haw been eliminatc<l by the simple matter of rt'locating the road, six have been improved by an overhead structure, anci three hy undPrpass. Those imprond by relocation are as follows:

SURPLUS WAR MATERIAL.

The United i:-\tates GoYernment, through the War DPpartment and thP Department of Agricultme, deeidcd immediately upon res~ation of hostilities with Germany, to turn oYer to the scYeral states in the l'nitcd States sueh surplus war material as they had no immediate nce<l for, to he usc<] in highway construction.
The surplus \Yar matnial at first took the form of a great many trucks and these were deliYercd to th,~ states, at first, without ,;onilitions, PXCE'pt that they may be maintained and kept in as goo<l condition as possible ronsistcnt \Yith their use, and that they use usc<l exrlusiYel; for high,Yn.' eonstrnction in the particular state to whieh a"igucd. These trucks are to remain the propnty of the Department of Agriculture and are allotte<1 to the states.
The State of Georgia has made the practice of leasing the trucks to tlw totmties for ten per crnt. of their YahtP, \Yhich sum is used for paying freight, handling, repairing- the trucks ani! for the rpgular inspection of the same. Many of the trucks when turned oYer to the State of Georgia har1 heen uHed and wPrP in all stages of ba<l onlt'r. The; had first to he pur in running condition before bPing turnPd over to the counties. 'Gp to date (May 1, 1920), there has been receiYed from tlw Department of Agrirultnre a. total of fiye hunrlrcd an<l scvPnt.'-right ( ;)/il) trucks of all kin<ls, with a present value of $1,784,848. There ha,c been repaired and issuer! to date three hundred and sixty-eight (36fl) trmks with a Yalue of $1,257,R20. All of the new trucks ha,e been isstwd except some few which were m;signcd to the ne"ly created 1\faintenance Department for its use in maintaining the roads built um1er Federal ann State Ain.
A number of automobiles, all of "-hich had been used and some of "-hich had been severely treated, were tnrned over to the department, among them are a considerable number of Ford rars. These are being put to excellrnt use throughout the state l1y the DiYision Engineers nnd the> AsRistant Engineers in making suneys for ne" ron~trudion, and in suprnising the ron struction 'vork alrParly in progress.
Fifty-seven (57) automobiles valued at $26,860.00 ha,e been receiwr1 ana fifty-four (54) automobiles valued at $26,110.00 haYe lwen issuec1 or are unnergoingfi rPpairs preparatory to hc>ing turned mer to the engineers of the Highway Department. In ac1dition to the trucks and automobiles which have heen rereivcr1 from timP to time, a great quantity of miscellaneon;; material, such as fenre posts, corrugated iron, derricks, wagons, pumps, portable forgt>s, field kitchens, spare truck parts, some few tractors, and n great Yaricty of other incidental Pquipment has been received, the gross Yalue of whirh amounts to $273,353.66. Of this amount there lws been is sued to nate material valued at $133,866.94.
'l'hPre is yet to he rPreived from the Government about 500,000 pounds of T.N.T. and hand grenane powaer, which will he distributed to tht> counties

r:

.,

at the cost of cartridgiug, freight an,[ handling. This will he WI)' valuab] to the northern counties of the state, where must rock is to he enconntere~ in their highway construction.
Hecently advices haye been recl'ivcd from the '\Yar Department that ther
may be some opportunity gi,en the State of Georgia of receiving a fe~
more tractors. If the tractors arc assigned to Georgia they will he invaluable for pulling road machinery in roall grading, and in this eonnection it is well to state here that the practice of man: counties in usinl! in the place of tractors should he discouragell as the trucks i.-;supd to the counties are built, not as tractors, ]JUt for hauling only, and their usp for anv other purpose than that for which they were constrnrte,] will ,-ause a rapid depreciation and final destruction of a very valuable pieec of machinery.
There follows an itemized list of the trucks, automobiles aJJ,]miseell'lneous equipment that has been receiyed and distributed throughout the Rtate and there is no doubt that this equipment has been a Yaluahle a<lclitinn to the roarl making machineq of the State.
