ANNUAL REPORT OF
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MAY 22,1921
'l'o H1s Excellenc.y, GoYernor Hugh :\I. Dorsey,
State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
Sir: Pursuant to la1\, the State liiglnYay Boan1 has the honor to submit
for your consideration ancl trallsmi,~ion to the General Assembly tbe annual report for 1!1~0~1. on the 1\'0l'k of the State Highway DepartJIIent of Georgia.
The report cmbrae~s eow;olic1ntell data ancl cliseussion prepared by the State IIiglnYa: Engineer bearing upon the activities, expenditures, and constnlCtion nsults of the past :e:n 's \YOrk in printed form; and other papers embradng tle nport from the Attorney of the Board, the auditor's reports, the aclminisnation budget sheet requested and details of finances tno Yoluminous to print but important in completing the record.
The magnihule ::tllll eomplexity ot' tle \nl!'k committed to th0 Board is so gn~at that it is very difficult to embody in printed form a full revic\Y of ~o larg<' a prognm1 or t< portra.'' ~le:uly many things which might be of interP~t to the public aml the General A,semhly. Hence the Board 1\oulil "eleome the appointm.,nt of a committee by the Governor or b:. the Gencrnl A~Bemhly nhich 'YonM chnrge itself with a careful revin1 mlll consideration of the operations ancl policies of the Department and from whose helpful labors and constructive judgment the state tau lw morp full: aclvisecl roneerning this newly organized state highway agellly.
No Board clwrgpd 1Yith this trcmell(lous task of expenditures on hehalf of the public amid nn preeedn tec1 conc1 itiom; of soeial and financial unrest, representing as it loes :1 nc1\ phase of state policy which embodies so deeply the hopes and the \Yelfare of the entire people, and calling for so great a range of expert knowledge and administrative judgment can YiPw its own b hOTs 11ithout ennc<'rn or ean fail to invoke special rrview and guidance by the Governor and tho General Assembly on the performance of its arduous duties.
The Board is conscious of having made an earnest effort to build up a sonm1 nllll aeti1c llTIZnnizaticm 1Yhich 1ronll1 intelligently and honestly comert tho available funds from Federal, County, and State sources into aetnnl roads and into bettcr tTnnsportatinn sen-ice.

dealing with washington, to make large construction advances to secure the 50% refund from the Federal 'rreasmy. :\lost of them have specifically set aside a large reYolYing fnnt1 to care for the 60 to 90 day period betwen paymPnt to the contmctor and refund from 'Nashington. Our Board has been faced 'vith the same difficulty on many of our contracts executeU. directly by the department; and funds otherwise idle have been uset1 on these active federal projects as advances to the U. S. Government and are canicd on a refund aecount in favor QI the State. In this way only has it been possible to maintain a higl1 rate of construction >~hich to date has brought into circulation $-!,000,00CI of federal func1s, chiefly Tepaid since August last. The Board feels that the emergency of the situation in Georgia h:" instified this policy.
Since August last the Tate of construction has been smpTisingl! rapid ancl our office forces haw been almost ownd1elmecl in hanr1ling the records'. The relief in labor am1 transportation matters all(1 the yery open ~.-inter has allowed contractors to mak~ nncxpectcc1 progress. The original forecast of construction progress ~xpectcil that the existing eonstruetion program "-oulcl extend at least to .Tuly 1, 19:22. It no" appears that perhaps DO% of this 'York will he complcter1 by X o,emhcr 1st, of this year. This a,hancc in mahll'ing obligations anr1 the neccessary revolving fund to hamllc Federal Aic1 matters has created a temporary pressure whic-h requires careful finfln<-ing for the next few months. 'L'h~ boarr1 fpels, l10wever, that 'Yith the rapid completion of federal aid projects Tclcasing the refunds from \Vashington, December \Yill find the a~partment rclieYcd from pr~ssure. anc1 the state will then haYe mH1er sen-icc and maintenance' a mul'11 l~ngcr mileage of the state system than it ha<1 CXJWCtctl by that elate. The Bomc1 anticipate~ that "-~ will then have to the nec1it of the s_\.stem 'Yithin 10% of the following:
290 miles of paYing completed at a cost of $ 8,000,000 Approx. 8011 miles of top soil and sancl clay roads

The general system laid down b_,. the Board for h::mrlling contrads is

118 follows: Lettings are maJe in pnblie after arhcrtiH'Blent antl on tlue notieo to
contractors. The representatives of the <lepartment, of the county interested, and of the Federal Gon'rnment Pxamine and agree upon the lowest and best proposal. ('on tracts are approved as to form by the Board's attorney and signet! by Hun. 1:-l. S. Bennet on behalf of the

Board and confirmed by full Board action. Under construction, all contrads are stea<lily supenised by a resi<lent
engineer in chargP, are repeatPclly Yisited and inspected by the District Engineer of the district, and also by general inspectors from hcaLlquar tcrs. Inspection by Fcdtral Engincprs is closc> and frc>qupnt.

The work of thc> departnwnt has been earnestl.v, hut not perfeetl~ performed; nor could it be fully systematized at all points in adnwee. Necessarily mistakes hme otcnrrell and atljustments ma<le to remecl~ defects. The outcome, it is believed, will bear favorable comparison with the usual experien<'l'S of very largp ~onstruction cnterprisPs.

This brief sta tcment will pna ble ~on and the Genpral Asc>mbly to realize the magnitude of the task aud to fully c-onceive the practical tmergencies whirh arise whPn so man,, partiPs arc> concerned, and when general financial eonrlitions arp so sudcleni_,. rhangPll. It will be rr,cognizecl also that the momentum of so large a construction effort cannot be violentl.v rhPcked or suspe!Hkd "ithont serious loss to the state. The Boanl has earnestly triPrl to meet the situation with its best judgment.
RPacling the recPnt highway reports from other states it appears that s'.milar conditions are widPspreatl. Some Boards Ita ,.e won disapproval an<l placed federal fmHls in jeopardy by inartion, and others have pro ceded more happily to handle actively and as wisely as possible the large accumulations of Federal Aiel. ~fany of the states discuss their plans and cxpcnditurPs as a three year (onstrudion program, and look forward to tliminisherl artivity of construction when that is complctPd nnd to enlargc>mrnt of maintename as a pcnnanpnt part of their programs.
It must be fully rcalizPd that the accumulation of Federal Aiel during the war period, as met b~ county funds, has been the backbone of the highway work in Georgia. StatP funds for two ~-ears constitute on!~ 16% of the $19,000,000 construction program. It is eYident that with thp

11

completion of this work a mmh more limite,[ program mu~t preyaiJ
Fpon the continnaucc of Federnl "\ic1 as ca nieu by the pending hill. before Congress alloting $:?,100,000 annually to Georgia for two years~ aud upon the ability of the state to match it will mainly depend als~ the new construction \York possible in 1922 and 1923.
The existing organization of the clepartmcnt was of necessity rapid]
expanded in a few months to care for this immense construction :~ctiYit:.
The present situation calls for reduction in the engineering personnel r:nd a gradual increase of the maiutcnancc side. Steps to thi., cud have uu'n taken as construetion projects were completed. The accumulation of suryeys aucl plans for future work is reasonably large and field work has been rapidly reduced. Tho Board and tho State Highway Engineer have tried as far as possible, to foresee its probable actiYities and to relate its force of employees to the speeific conditions.
"Lpou authorization of the Go,eruor the semi-annual audit of Decem. ber 31, 19!2'0, of the fiu:mces of the department was made by ~\lr. ,J. R. Dreny, C. P. A., and is submitted herewith. l\Ir. Drewry among other comments says:
''The business of this bo:nd has grown almost ''over night'' from a very small Yolume to n Yery largo one. J<'or the first six mort !Js nf the :-car the business of the Department \Yas 011 a basis of $400,nnn.rro per yenr. For tile last six months it was on a basis of more than $,011U.rrrJ.OO per year, and at the rate from the month of December, the total for one :ear would ha,c run more than se,-en million dollars for a year. These figures are mentioned to ghe an idea of tile magnitude that your oper ations have attained within the past half ?ear. That it coulrl grrm to these proportions was a fmegone conclusion but that it would reach them in so short a time \Yas, to sn~ the le:1st, :1 mnttcr of grent ,nr. prise. All records were found in good order and all funds handled h:ne been properly accounted for.''
The large mas~ of rontracts handled lod the Board to haYe a sp~rinl mnlit of the existing dornments anrl corresponrlcnce bearing therpnn. This report is also submittNl, tho status of each activit:v being slrr>,nl In full.
Administrative and Engineering Requirements.
:\'"eccssaril:' a state wide highway program requires a large budget to support a capable and highly trainefl organization. Immense demands aTe macle upon the energy and sound judgmPnt, upon knowledge of materials and methods of construction, upon skilled location and d,o. tailed plans, upon accurate accounting and computation of cost data of the various engineers and emplo:vees. As a distinguished State Higli,.,-a:v Engineer has said the personnel ''should be able to meet on an e\cn footing of brains, training and experience, the best organization'-' thnt manufacturers of road marhiner~' nnd materials can buy, to sbnr1

klH'e to knee with the best and worst contractors and get fur its client

the people of the state, good construction at a fair price."

'

True economy in construction work of this kind is not always meas-

ured in terms of small salaries and few of them. Careful planning in

advance and constant superYision during construction arc the on!

s'afeguanls against the waste of public road funds.

y

Hence the aim of the department has been to secure and perfect an

engineering :mel administrative corps for the state higlnyay building

\Yhich would avoid the extremes of inefficient scrimping on th0 one hand

and of extravagance on the other.

In 1919, correspondence was had with 37 states. These reports gave

the figures for administrative and engineering costs as percentages of

the funds spent for construction. They ran from 5% to 10%. The av-

erage figure from 12 states most nearly eomparable with Georgia was

li.5%. It was belie\'ed that, if this newly organized department could

furnish the exacting services demanded absolutely nnuer the rrquire-

ments of Federal Aid cooperation and keep its outla,v down to (i.5%, at

!Past it would have aYoided the realm of extravagance.

Anothn measure of reasonablt' outlay lies in the long pre\'ailing rnle

in railroad construction which plac<'d the allowed figure for snneys,

rlans and construction superYision at 5% of the construction cost. This

figure applied prior to the war period. Little or no r'lilroacl bniltling

Las been clone since 1916. As applied to new railroad construct ion at

this time, this percentage would probably exceed 7.5%.

Tho actual detail rer1nired in modern highway engineering is far in

excess of that rcquireu for an equal mileage of railroad.

A third comparison is with the work of the architect whose standard

fees of 7% total and 3% for supervision do not, in the latter item,

r"prescnt one-tt'nth of the close and constant watchfulness that the

engineer must exercise over the simplest type of roads and bridges.

The following data have been fnrnish<'d from the department records

covering 14 months from January, 1920.

Total expenditures for construction .............. $9,842,569.7fJ Expended for administration of the main office
and district offices . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 169,305.86 This is to be regarded as true overhead expense. It include~ all items of expense, supplies, salaries, accounting, audits, transportation, attornt'y 's salary, Board expense, etc., etc.

$ 160',841.96 These two items are not properly overhead expense. They represent directly a class of work without which no constructio11 could be had.

This ,xpenditure has coYerc<l all the fidd and office expenses necessary to prepare the data in exact and acceptable form for more than $17,000,GOO of contracts in which Federal Aiel is used.
:'\one of this money is returnable to the state. Jn other words unless the state hall made this expenditure, it could not ha ,-e secured the participation of $7,500,000 of Pecleral funds in this state.

Actual engineering inspection and supen-ision during construction .............................. $244,037.36

This inducles not cnly salaries but all other expenses incurred by

engineers ou probably 130 separate pro_jects.

The Federal GoYernment l'l'l'Ognizes this item as an actual ancl ncces-

s::cry part of constrnrtion aml requires the state to perform it. The

item appears as a 10% allowance for engineering ancl contingencies in

each contract aml the J'cderal funds pay one-half of the expense in ,-o]yed.

One of the most progrcssiYe states of the north whose Highway Engineer has been in charge for 14 years has won a fine reputation on the wise expenditure of $0,000,000 during that time, reports for the last fiscal year as follows:

$.,113-.ti/7.::>+, reports uncler ''operating expenses,'' which includes the
same item~ given above, !<3~9,1\0G.OG, which is 8.1 ';{ of the constructioH cost.
Another state ,,ith lp.J.,~l7l,:3/H.46 mHler contract, main]~ for 150 mile" o pa\'ed road, of which $~,:200,091 had been speilt, reports $85,~10.80, which is ,).(i3% of the umonnt speHt, and :ILhh 0.6S"r for allministration, making tL2.JSf.

~"-ll of these states ha\'c the ad\'antage of well establishf\d organizatinns and are frEe to conecntratc expenditures at discretion.
The allowance for true onrhead requested on the budget for .Tamwry, 19:20, and whiLh was continue-d from Jul: 1st o"<.~r this fiscal yrar, was ba~erl on an estimate of $180,000 for 12 months. It was seen a bo\e that during 1 months, the expenditure has been $169,:305.00.
Tnelnding all engineering, all ndministratiou expense, and all SU]Wl' Yision of mnintl'llance basi'll on a probable. expenditure of $10,000,01)0 c1 uring the next fiscal )'ear, inelll(ling $.100,000 or more for main!Pnance, the hnclget which "ill be requested is :t;:l90,0il0, of which it is estimated that :j;173,1100 will he paid from Fc<lcrul funds, lt'a\'ing a net request for
$~15,000.
This re<1necd budget is made possible by the fact that all suncys and plans haYe lwen paid for cmcring nearly $8,000,000 of existing contracts, tlat a smaller amount of new work will be undertaken cluring the next fi"al year. and that much of the cost for the suncys and plans for this new \Vork has already been paid.
lTnder the projeet engineer system which pre,ailecl prior to 1920, not iJ,cluding administrative L'XJWnses, these priYate engineers were paill on the a\erag-e 6.5% of thL' contract by the ctmnties who employed them, of which the Federal Gon'rnmcnt repaid a bout ~%.

thUS far obtained indicate that it will !Jc second to none in the country ill the earc and gradual improYcmcnt of the complctctl sections of road intrusted to its care.''
The work of this department will steadily expand, and increase in importance. 'Ibis will be the c1cpartment >Yhich >Yill protect the inYestmcnt of our roatl funds and I will giYe it my mo:ot careful attention.
As the maintenance of roads in any systematic "ay is a new thing in this State, it is necessary to attract tu this >York the best aYailable wen and train them to their duties. This will, of course, take time before they become thoroughly proficient in their work.
This department will insure to the State a unifonnit: of maintainell roads o>cr the entire system. 1\"e will in a very few years have continuous roads throughout the State "hich can be useil the maximum number of days in the year, and ailcquatc funils should be proYide<l for the waintcnance of our State system of roads. K o new construction shoult1 be untlcrtaken whieh will take from the funds neclled for maintenance.
Our present law limits the use of the "\utomobile Lieensc fees for waintenauee rmrposcs, as wPll as snC'ral other purposes to :>0%, and should he changed in order not to emlanger the inYcstmcnt now being wade in the construetion of our roads. This part of the law requires that at least 70% of these funds shall be used for the paYing of our State system, whereas, in my opinion, this money could he used to much better mh::mtagc at least for two or thrcp years in first constructing a uniform systPm of smul cla.' roads throughout the entire State, and then in adequatel: maintaining these roac1s. l'erleral Aiel and count.' bonds can be usc<l for paving where nccdccl.
Road Building Materials:
Profiting by our expcrienPc in 19~0, "hen we suffered not only from the high price of all roacl building material, hut also from their scarcity, this department c1ctermincr1 to insure for our work not onl: sufficient materials, lmt also to control to as great an extent as possible the price of these materials. IVc, therefore, made contracts for asphalt and cement iu as great quantities as might he required to be bought nml paicl for when rel]uirerl, and at the lowest a>ailnble market price.
In onler to insure stone of the lwst qualit~ >Yhen necc1cc1, ancl at a reasonable pric0, a stone l]WHT:V loeate(l ncar Ellwrton was purchasccl. The purchase of this quany immc(liatPl~ hacl the d"fPet of a con,;irlerable recluction in the price of stone from commenial quarries, ancl as a consequence the work of installing a crushing plant at our quarry site is bring carrier1 out Ycry graclually.
Modified Form of Contract:
Dne to the risks in\o1Ye<1 in the execution of contrach the latter part of 1920, and the resultant high bidc1ing on all proposed work, it was

$bought achisablc to prcjwr~ for u:;e a modified form of contract which ll!ared the risk IYith the ~outrac,:or, thereby permitting of closer bid4iJlg. At one tnne 1t was JmpossJblc to Sl'cure \Jids on the old form of :contract, aml the use of this modified form of contract became imperative. A:J a consequence ocveral contracts \YCl'C awarded [lt that time on $bis form of contract.
As "ns antil'ipatc<l, tht :Hcountiug lHl these contracts \Hts Yery laborcus, and the engineer's work was greatly increased, but the net result was the sec-uring of the cou,.,trnctiou of the projects and a net sa \ing in JIIOney. I woulcl, ho1veYer, n:commcnd the usc of this contract form only e.s an e1nergcney.
It is n~ry gratifying to find in comparing lhe price for \\hich work bas been clone in (icorgia \\'ith work done in other ~tates in this section of the count:, that [lt all times we lmYe let contracts for lu\\'er unit prices than for similar 1\-ork in these other States.
General Activities Throughout the State:
We haYe cndeaYorerl to get un(krway "ork of some nature in e\ery county of the i::itatc, and as a conselJUCu<:e we arc cugaged at this time in nC\1' con,truction, maintenance of newly constructed projects, betterment \YOrk, \\hich onl: ]H'o\iilcs for the impro\cmcnt of the impassable places on :L giYen length of road, aml tlw maintcnance of ruails IYitich have been improYed in tl1is wa~- or han~ !wen put in suitable condition for maintenantc h: the <'Ount~.

mileage as there 'ras no surnT at that time to insnrc an accurate measurement. The map as prepared will slightly exceed tlJr ~800 miles.

This is the accounting form of recapitulation approved by public accounts. It does not carry as complete a distribution as details kept; this is especially true of the column "Undistributed."
The above statement shows the total expenditures covering the period of sixteen months, January 1, 1920 to May 1, 1921;
the amount expended in each district and also the undistributed amounts in each of the various accounts. Note that deductions
have been made from the totals expended in the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9t\ lOth and 11th districts, due to the fact that the state is doing
construction on Federal Aid Projects, and advancing payments in lieu of Federal Aid earned but not collected to date, the amount deducted is due the State from the Federal Government and will reduce the expenditure of State funds when received. The amount shown in the undistributed column under the classificatiqn on project has been deducted from the total, as this items covers an equip-
ment shop which was constructed by the state and alsq the cost of the Oglesby Quarry and its operating expenses: Equipment and Equipment shop:-19,502.19 Oglesby Quarry:-113,583.40

~23.93, making a total of $558,696.33. This amount is made up ot'
CountY Credits, State Highway Department Projects and other items ns l,lbo-wn on the statement.
Staten1ent of Miscellaneous Bank Balances:
It appears that the adYances from the Counties were deposited in
}ocal banks and from time to time were transferrccl to the Higll\Ya.\ J)epartment accounts with the Atlanta banks. The balances in tho various country bank!" were not verified and no statements as of December 31st, 1920, were presented. The balances sho\Yn on the final sheet are correct acoon1ing to your records.
Inventories: We have accepted the IuYentories as presented to us. It appenrs
that there i:! nothing to Inventory with the exception of the equipment in the main office, this is scatteretl here, there, am1 yom1er oYer the entire State and it is therefore manife:;tly impossible for us to verif\ the figures. We submit them nithout further 1:ommcnt:

ROADS
During the sixteen months periou cntling :May 1, 19:21 roau building actidties throughout the entire State ha,-e been carried on on a large scale.
This has been due to the trememlous interest taken by all sections of the State to utilize an accumulation of Federal Aiu fnmls allCl the local interest shown thl'u county bowl issues.
Permanellt types IHn-e not Lccn <onstrude<l iu every ntsc and local surfacing material, as approveil by the Bureau of Public H.oads in \Vashington, h:we been substituteil \Yhid1 serves well the local conditions until additional trafl"ie <lemantls a higher type of surfacing.
Time and traffic arc the only factors which 'Yill pro<1uce full settlement of tbe grade of llC\Y locations and this condition should be attained before a hard surfaced liUYement is put <lci\Yn as othcnYisc the base \Yill not furnish suffi~icnt uniform stability to nllow the panment to be muintaine<l at a minimum of maintenance for an extended period in a seniceable and durable state.
Good High,ra.Y prad itc ,]('marHls the mm;t eureful attention to road drainage and drainage structures. The Department has concentrated upon this problem and given it the most careful supervision. Bridges of twenty feet in length and O\Cr are handled by specially tmined briilge engineers and \Yhilc all smaller strnctnrcs are handle<l directly by the road con struction engineers, matters of doubt and special features are referred to the bridge engineers.
The tabulation of lni,Jges thcr('forc, rcpn'sents only bridges of twenty feet in length or over and the total length of the smuller bridges and cnlverts s\ructnre exceed many limPs the total length of the tabulated briilge projrcts.
Another faetor \Yhieh has required the most careful thought of the ,]cpartmcnt has been the location of the State Highways in such a manner as to eliminate by location, underpass, and o,-erhea<l erossings the heretofore dangerous railroad grade cro>sings. A tabulation showing the number of such crossings eliminated would be impractical as \Ye could only show the small percentage eliminated hy short relocations, and the establishment of eYer an<] nnderpasses at or n('aT the place that grade crossings formerly existcrl.
Dewlopnl('nt and completion of projects in the variom' sections of the slate necessarily Yary due to \Yeather conditions, the individuul contractors, type of constmction an<l topography. Tt \Yill take a periocl of y0ars to lxllancc b~ percentage of milenge in each road district the amount of completc<l \York since the distrilmtion of fnn<1s is such as to apply on the mileage length without regar<l to t_q1c or eost of constn1ction and nnmbcr of bridges rwederl.
The Stutc Highwa:'- System contains approximately 4~00 miles of 'drich 1183 mile.s luwc l1ccn let tll contrad.

BRIDGES
Tho general policy of tho State Highway Department is to make all parts of GeOTgia accessible to high,vny traffic as soon as possible. The first step in carrying out such a policy woulcl be tho removal of natural perncanont haniers bchvcen the sections of the state by the construction of briuges. 1Jnimpro,-e,1 roa<ls are barriers to traffic clnring bad 'veather but arc passable a lnrgc pnrt of the time, ancl are not a menace to human life-streams Yl'ithout bridges arc permanent barriers to traffic. Poorly constructe<] briclges and most fonys across larger streams arc a constant menace to tho lifo ancl property of the traveling public.
Construction of briugcs are enterprises of state 'ville importance, as sections of the state heretofore separated by impassable traffic barriers are connected. \Yith these facts l1efore it, the Department hns given special attention to tho construction of stream crossings, realizing that by this means a larger part of the state \Yill soon become accessible to traffic.
Tables shmving in statisticnl form tho status of briclge work for the shteen month pel'ioll of constru-~i,ion to ~Iay 1, 1021 are shmYn acconling to Districts. '1'1<! pojects arc tabulated ace rilir_g t,> -fc,-'eral Aitl and State Aid J<nmLcro, You will n >+e rmong the larger structmcs arc the briag9ll cwr tLc Ji'J:nt River at ~-; CY?ton and at Albany; the bridges o\cr the Oconee at Dublin and 1\ft.

Tl10 Dcpari mel< I h~s been particular!: fortmmtc in sccming a hrid:.;e OY<~r tho ..\H~<LHtha RiYcr ncar Dnrien at a YelT re::lsonable cost. The Georgia Coast & Pieclmont Railroad \Yas clismantled in 1919 lcmin!i a. \Yoocl trestle anrl ne]] constructed steel draw spans over the South Altmnaha allll Dmicn RiYers \Yith necessary fills across tho 'low ground aml trestles across Butler ancl ::\Iidclle Ri,ers. Glynn a.ncl Mcintosh Counties \Yith the cooperation of tho Yonng ::\len's Club at Brunswick aml the Boarc1 of Traclc at Sa;-mmah mul other intcrestocl citizens agreed to purchllse the road,vay trestle and steel SIYing spans and tmn them OYer to the High,my Department provic1cd the High>Vc<y Department would reconstrnd the bridge fur hig-lma: traffic. An inn'stigation >Yns made of tho cn11<lition of the ol<l milroad bridge and this reconstruction \\'ns found fcm<il1le. The l11illge is 11mY nearing completion, anl \Yill pTOba.bly be open to tm:ffic tlming ::\Ia:. The cost of this briclgo including roadway a.ml Teconstruct.ion will be lj;211,40D.54. .\ new structure across this ri\er, built at this time. >~onll cost. tno to three times this figure.
For the ensuing year the BTiclgo Department has under consideration tho construction of many small bridges and the major bridges under consideTation arc the bridge owr the Ocmulgee at Lumber City, >Yhich iYill form a link nith the bridge me1 the Oconee at ,J\ft. Vernon for connecting

the southeast portion of the state with the northeast portiou of the state: the much needed bridge over the Altamaha at Jesup: reconstrmtion of bridge over the Flint Ri1er at Bainbridge. Deeatur County is particular. ly anxious to build this bridge and has already arranged their part of the finances. 'lhe existing bri.Jge mer the Flint River is in ba<l condition, an,] reconstrndion shoul<l begin as Hlon as possible.

Maintenance.
The 1Iaintenance I)epartment was formed just prior to May 1st, 1920, and there was immediately put into motion an organization to maintain the roads that have been accepted as completed by the State Highway Engineer.
The section~'! of improved roads that were transferred to :Maintenance were until March 15, 19:2'1, handled directly :from the general office at Atlanta by the Chief Field Engineer assisted by the ~faintenance Engineer, and the methods used for 6 to 50' mile sections were as follows:
There was employed a Patrol man, with assistants for the longer section~, 'vhose duti('s required that he go over his section, after each rajn, with a drag, as it is most essential that ruts formed by the traffic bl' fille<l while the material il'! damp, to enable same to pack and keep the surface even; he also kept all culverts and ditches dcaned and open. The Patrolman reported his progrf'ss daily to the Atlanta office, showing the time and cost of material used, and condition of his section throughout; in that way the office had in their file" condition of a Maintenancc> Projeet within 24 hours after a rain.
By Mareh J 5, 1921, the work of the Maintenance Department haYing greatly increasc>(l through thl' acceptance of numerous completed projc>cts, this department was reorganized.
Each Division Engineer now has the direction of the maintenance in his district, and has e"mployed a Maintenance S"upervisor, who closely supervises the maintenance activities in the district having direct control of his organization of patrolmen and laborers.
The Supenlsor reports' daily to his Division Engineer and weekly to the Mainte-nance Engineer in Atlanta, through the Division Engineer.
The State roads, as constructed, are divided into 50 mile sectionsmore or less-and Road Section l'oremen employed, '\vho arc> being equippetl with the necessary maintenance tools'; tractors, trucks, road machines and the necessary hand tools, etc., to keep their sections up to the standard.
A section gang usually cmwistcd of a Foreman and three Ia borers. Immediately after the project had been completed by the contractor, and the final estimate, as submitted by the Division Engineer, approved by the Highway Engineer, the road completed is transformecl to the ~Iaintenance Department to maintain. A Foreman is then assigned to maintain this improved section, h,\' sodding slopes, cleaning right-of-way, and repairing surface as it showe(l signs of wear. _\ Manual of Instructions to employees was issued March 1, J 921, tr simplify the making of 1eports and also setting out exactly what would he expected of each .employee. The following is a list of FN1Pl:~ll and State Aid Projcctg, and a

statement of Maintenance and Betterment Projects, t!ta t lut ,-,. been approYed and maintained up to l\lay 15th, 1921.
