ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE HIGHWAY BOARD.

Atlanta. Ga.. }fay 1. 1923.

To His Excellency, Hon. Thos. \\'. Hardwick, Governor of Georgia, State Capitol, Atlanta. Georgia.

Complying with the requirements of the law the State Highway Board submits herdith its annual report which covers the operations and expenditures of the State Highway Department from December 31, 1921 to December 31, 1922.

The total amount received last year from the Motor Vehicle Tax fund, the only source of State revenue of the State Highway Department. was :fl./62.339.9-t. The report of the auditors shows the following:

Total receind from Treasurer and Interest in 1923..........$1,764.794.67

and Materail ....

12,158.09 0.794'/r

Construction Equipment Depot.. 35,526.46 2.320'/r

Money spent for construction of Equipment Depot has been re-

funded from funds accumulated by exchange of surplus war material

unsuitable for road purposes.

The total amount expended by the State Highway Department in 1922

for all purposes was $4,980,857.41. The administration expenses were $271,532.99 or 5.45%.
The total amount of money spent by the State Highway Department in 1920. 1921 and 1922 up to December 31, 1922, has been $20,040,124.09. The cost of handling this has been: Administration, .0332: Plans al}d surveys, .0178; Total, .0510. Very few States can boast of lower overhead.
It should be borne in mind that the Motor Vehicle Fund pa)!S all overhead expenses of Federal Aid Projects except that the Federal Government pays one-half the expenses of Inspection while a project is under construction. But for this expense required by the Federal Government and our State Laws, much more of the Motor Vehicle fund would go into actual construction or maintenance. If the State however, State must pay for plans. surveys, engineering and supervision out of the Motor Vehicle fund.

The cost of roads and bridges to January 1, 1923 is $16.680,802.18. Estimated cost of roads and bridges under construction to Jan. 1, 1923 is $7,517,811.28. Estimated cost of roads and bridges for which funds have been provided and plans made is $5.365,896.49, making a grand total of $29,565,509.95.
The total amount of bridges on the State Aid Road System is 170,000 line<tl feet. The number of feet completed is 52,979-under construction, 12,727. making a total oi 65,766 feet. It will thus be seen the completion of about four-tenths of bridges is already in sight. Cost of
bridges to Jan. 1. 1923 is $2,824,829.17, which amount is included in total
-expe:1ditures given above. The total mileage of roads and bridges completed and under construc-
tion Jan. I. 1923, amounts to 1,806.94 miles. During the year 1923 there will be put under construction 568.08 miles of roads and 2.4-l miles of bridges. making a total mileage of 2,377.46 either completed, under construction or that will be put under construction this year. The total cost of all road and brirl!.;e construction is estimated to be, $29.322,512.-
<()4.

The average cost of different types of road per mile mile is as follows

Graded and drained (Mountainous Sections) . ..$ 7,614.62

16,509.72

Bituminous Macadam

27,263.28

Bituminous Concrete

34,175.92

Portland Cement Concrete

32,044.76

On January 1, 1922, there were under construction 65 projects with a

total of 474.97 miles. On January 1. 1923, there were under construction

113 projects with a total of 755.18 miles or an increase of 280.21 miles.

The only counties in the State whch have not received State or Federal Aid for road construction are Lamar, Putnam, Rockdale, Jones, Crawford. Marion, Crisp, Johnson, Long, Treutlen, Seminole, Atkinson, Berrien. Lanier, Turner, Brantley and Jeff Davis. Of these, Lamar, Long. Treutlen. Seminole. Atkinson, Lanier and Brantley are new counties. They \Yill receive Federal Aid as soon as they can match Federal funds. Other counties in list will be appropriated Federal funds as soon as these counties ask for them and will match them dollar for dollar. Federal funds have been alloted to Johnson and Berrien but were not used by these counties. Projects have been completed in Lamar and Seminole before these counties were created.

W'hat is needed to help the counties that have not the financial strength to build roads is a State Aid road fund for construction. If State funds in sufficient amount are raised to match Federal funds then roads can be built in these weak counties. If the County authorities wish they can build them with their convicts. So the small counties would not only get Federal Aid roads, hut will be paid to construct their own roads. The big counties all have their State system about constructed so that the little counties would be the chief beneficiaries of a

2

State Aid road fund. This fund can be raised by placing on gas an additional two cents per gallon tax. Divert the money now being raised by taxing gasoline into the State Aid road fund and use this one cent per gallon o;1 gasoline to reimburse counties that have spent money
matching Federal funds on State Aiel roads. Also place a tax on lubricating oils to be used for road construction
by the State. By thus placing this tax on gasoline and oil non-resident people who come thru our State will help pay a part of the expenses. for tlw upkeep oi the roads they use.
North Carolina. South Carolina, Alabama and Florida all ]e,y such a tax. The automobile owner pa~s this expense. He is willing to do so. By having good roads he saves in gas. oil. wear and tear oi car and time, far more than he pays out in taxes.
Hon. Frank Page, Chairman of the Korth Carolina Commission .. has this to say:
"Some of you say that we are taxing our people to death. :--..io, we are not. Here are some figures that will prove to you that the people of Korth Carolina love to be taxed when it is a paying investment. In 1920 there were shipped into the State 73,997,832 gallons of gasoline. There were at that time 142,284 automobiles in the State. or each automobile in 1920 used 520 gallons of gas. In 1921 thne were shipped into the State 73,492,908 gallons of gasoline, and we had at that time 149.901 automobiles in the State, or each automobiie consumed during the year 1921, 490 gallons of gas. In the year 1922 we had shipped into the State, 82.125,368 gallons of gascline and \\e had 181.955 automobiles. or each automobile in 1922 consumed 4@.3 gallons of gas. This will show that a saving of each automobile in 1922 over 1920 was lifty-senn gallons of gas. This can be accounted for by the improved roads in 1922 over 1920. This hfty-,even gallons of gas multiplied by an average price of 25 cents was a net saving to each automobile of $1-L/5, or a saving to 181,955 automobile owners amounting to the tremendous sum of $2.574,858.75. This is a saving in gasoline alone, not to mention the saving in oil. time and the weat and tear of your machine and religion.' I~ast year there was giHn over to the State Higll\Yay Department for
maintenance, the entire system of 5,500 miles. At the time this duty developed on the State Highway Department it
had no funds, no organization and no equipment except such equipment as was donated by the Federal Government to repair and maintain roads.
Thousands were spent on bridges and many roads were hut trails ..
Equipment to the amount of $200,084.45 was bought and paid for; a
force was organized and the roads maintained. This year rains have done considerable damage to the road; and it
has been almost impossible to 1~1aintain them as they should be. How-
ever, the weather is now more clement, the State Highway Department has now more equipment and the maintenance force is becoming
trained and more efficient and the maintenance work is more satisfac-
tory in every way. '1 he State is under contract with the Federal Government to main-

tain all Federal Aid Projects that have been completed. Before Federal Aid could be obtained the Governor of this State had to certify that State funds had been provided to maintain all Federal Aid Projects, which work must be done by the State.
The language of the Federal Law is as follows:
"Sec. 7. That before any project shall be approved bv the Secrcttary of Agriculture for any State such State shall make provisions for State funds required each year of such States by this Aact for construction. reconstruction, and maintenance of all Federal Aid highways within the State, which funds shall be under the direct control of the State Highway Department.
"Sec. 10. That when any State shall have met the requirements of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury, upon receipt of ceritification from the Governor of such State to such effect, approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, shall immediately make available to such State, for the purpose set forth in this Act, the sum apportioned to such State as herein provided." The State Highway Department is operating under the budget system which is proving eminently satisfactory to every branch or division of the State Highway Department. Under this system there is no question about the maintenance force being employed every work day in the year to keep the roads in good repair. The maintenance budget and plans provide equipment and men for each of the one-hundred and eight road sections-averaging about fifty miles to the section-to smooth the surface of the roads in that section within forty-eight hours after the cessation of a rain. This insures work on each road immediately after rains when there is a season in the ground. In this connection it can be said that the cost of maintenanace per mile in some neighbor States is almost twice the amount spent in maintaining Georgia's State Aid Roads. An equipment depot has been constructed at East Point at practically no expense to the State. The work clone there, the material and equipment stored arc all explained in this report under the head of Equipment Depot. This plant cost the people of Georgia practically nothing, yet. it saves to the Stak in rents $7.500 per year. The Equipment Depot not only saves in rent, but it reconstructs trucks, tractors and other equipment donated by the Federal Government that would be of litlte value to the State Highway Department without their being reconstructed and repaired. A tractor, for instance, of little value, at a cost of seven hundred dollars is rebuilt by the shops at the Equipment Depot and after the repair work has been done, it is then well worth $2,500.00. Your Excellency and the Members of the General Assembly arc urged to visit this plant. Salaries paid to employees are about on an a\'crage with salaries paid by Highway Departments of other States. The salary paid the State Highway Engineer is less than the average. As an evidence that compensation of employees of the State Highway Department is not excessive, twenty-six persons have resigned their positions since January
4

with the State Highway Department to accept pos1t10ns receivmg in creased compensation with other Highway Departments, private corporations and individuals.
The Oglesby Quarry is a going concern. The output has been sold in advance and the quarry is paying expenses of operation.
Although at present there is only a small amount of hard surfaced roads under construction, it is extremely difficult to secure crushed stone and, in fact, the Department is compelled to utilize less desirable material on some of the projects no\Y being constructed on this account. Should the output of the State's quarry he doubled or tripled the stone produced could he used to excellent advantage even under the present small program.
The traffic count which follows shows conclus.ively that there are many sections in the State which require hard surfaced road:;, as the present dirt roads are incapable of bearing this heavy traffic demand.
On May 28th and 29th between 5 A. M. and <J P. M. on the road irom M aeon leading to Dublin there passed 4,338 vehicles of all classes. On the Forsyth road, same time, a total of 8,200 vehicles, and on the Houston county roads a total of 3,504 vehicles, and on the Columbus road leading into Crawford county there were 2,405 vehicles counted; on the Clinton road ,vhich leads into Jones County there were 2,030 whicles using the highway.
A careful study is being made by the State Highway Enfineer and his assistants with the view of designing roads to meet traffic conditions.
The State Highway Department is publishing a bulletin called "Georgia Highways", the entire expense of which will be paid with income irom subscriptions and for athcrtiscments in this publication. Almost every Highway Department in the Cnitcd States prints a monthly bulletin to give the public official information concerning the \YOrk and expenditures of the Department. Georgia's lmlletin \Yill compare favorably \\'ith similar publications' of other States.
The Bureau of Research operated in conjunction with the Bureau of Public Roads of Washington is a valuable asset to the State Highway Department. It insures the very best available material to be used in road construction as no material is used in road building until first tested by the Bureau of Research. This is in charge of Dr. C. M. Strahan, than whom there is no more skilled scientist in road construction; his senices are without expense to the State. His assistants arc paid. The work he is doing is an unselfish and patriotic labor of love for his State.
\Ve suggest to you and the General Assembly some amendments to the 11"otor Vehicle Law:
I. The scope of law should be enlarged so that instead of covering just motor vehicles the Ia\\- should apply to all vehicles.
2. All vehicles should be required to carry lights at night visible from front and rear and provide a dimmer for blinding headlights. from wheels which do considerable damage due to irregularity.

4. Tractors and trailers should be required to pay license fee. 5. Use of dealer's tags should be more restricted. 6. Number plates should be placed on both front and rear of all vehicles and operators should be required to keep plates legible. 7. Census of cars taken in certain towns, show the number of cars without tags out of a total and 80 counted was 39. This prove' that many car owners are failing to pay license tag tax, which is not fair to the man who buys tags nor the State. Provision should be made for better enforcement of this law. 8. Basis of tax should be changed so that vehicles will pay according to the horse power, gross weight of vehicle and loads, and solid. pneumatic or metal tires. 9. The gross weight of truck and load should be limited and a maximum weight per inch of tire width should he fixed. 10. The speed of trucks should be limited, consideration being given to the weight of the truck and kind of tires. The present law in regard to public roads crossing railroads is as follows:
RAILROAD CROSSINGS: All railroad companies shall keep in good order, at their expense. the public roads or private ways established pusuant to law. where crossed by their several roads, and build suitable bridges and make proper excavations or embankments, according to the spirit of the road laws.
This law was passed in 1838 and evidently the General Assembly had in mind passing the above law grade crossings only. It is the policy of the Federal Government and the Highway Department of Georgia to eliminate every grade crossing possible. When this is practicable it is done by re-locating roads. When they cannot be eliminated by relocating, then if passible they are eliminated by underpass or overhead bridge.
The question is how should the expenses in building underpasses or overhead pridges be horne. This question comes before the Board frequently and the suggestion is made to the General Assembly to declare how the above expenses should be borne. Whether all expenses in crossing the right-of-way should be borne by the railroad or shall the county and railroad divide the expenses and in what proportion.
The Attorney-General has been of incalculable benefit to us in paosing upon a humber of legal questions which have arisen from time to time and have come before the State Highway Board for consideration. Every legal question connected with the operations of the State Highway Department that has been submitted to the Attorney General has been promptly passed upon by him and we are profoundly grateful to him for every courtesy shown to the State Highway Board and for every service rendered.
It is nnpo:,sible to dispense with legal services to the State Highway Department. but it is very important that this legal assistance come from the office of the Attorney General anq a suggestion is made to you that additional help be furnished to the office of the Attorney GeneraL

Some criticism has been directed at this Department. Some has come irom persons who have the best interest of the State at heart and who earnestly desi~e to see the Department achieve the very best results. This criticism is welcomed at all tin'tes hy the entire State Highway Department. Some criticism, however, has been unfair, unjust and without foundation of fact. Every transaction, every fact. every piece of work and every record is open to the public for inspection, investigation and careful analysis.
The State Highway Department not only will welcome, but earnestly urges the L~gislature to make a careful scrutiny of everything that the State Highway Department has done.
Alreay the books of the State Highway Department have been carefully audited by Dawson & Eidson. expert accountants appointed by Your Excellency to do this work. Their report is made a part of our report to your Excellency. In their report they say:
"The books have been neatly and accurately kept and reflect credit to those responsible. \Ve found that all vouchers and supporting papers had been systematically filed which enabled us to complete our examination in a minimum of time, and we take this occasion to thank the officials and employees for the courteousconsideration shown our representative during the course of the examination." The operations and expenditures of the State Highway Department have recently been rigidly examined by the Federal Government. This report when received will he given the widest publicity. County Commissioners. Legislators and citizens have not only been invited. but importuned to visit the State Highway Department and spend as much time as they wish in making a careful examination of its work. This Department is open to any citizen every day for an examination of its work and expenditures.
Some mistakes may have been made. but this Department has endeavored to render careful. faithful and conscientious service to the State. Let the white light of examination iall on every transaction of the Department; no apprehension is felt hy the Members of the State Highway Board.
Yours truly,

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
Jan. 1, 1923.
Members of the State Highway Board, Hon. John N. Holder, Chairman. Sirs:
It gives me a great deal of pleasure to sabmit to you my report covering the activities of the various departnwnts of the State Highway Department for the year 1922.
Statistics show the accomplishments during the year by the State Highway Department aided by the co-operation of the Federal Government in constructing the State Highway system of roads, to be of great magnitude, most notable among these being the building of bridges, Georgia leading every state in the Union both in mileage and bridges completed and also in value. Georgia is second in mileage of Federal Aid highways completed, third in amount of Federal Aid actually paid to any State in the Union and fourth in value of Federal Aid roads and bridges completed. (Report of Secretary of Agriculture, U. S. A., 1922).
This. in the face of so many handicaps such as lack of a State fund with which to match the Federal Aid fund, entitles the heads of the several departments both Federal and State employees and most especially the County Commissioners to the hearty commendation of the people of Georgia.
The record of roads and bridges completed and funds allocated for such projects, indicates that the benefits derived from the assistance of our Federal Government have reached into every county of Georgia with the exception of seventeen. In studying the records I find that in one of these counties, Lamar, a road project was started within the confines of this new county before its creation. This county, at that time, being a part of Pike County. Before the project was completed, Lamar County was created and in order to secure the completion of the project, the State Highway Department provid~d funds for this purpose.
Therefore, in reality, only sixteen counties should be included in this list. 1 find that three of these sixteen counties had Federal Aid alloted, plans and surveys completed by the Departfnent, but for son1e reason the work was never carried out by these counties.
Recently, allotments of funds have been made to three oi the remaining thirteen, thus leaving only ten counties in the State in which funds have not been alloted for the construction of roads and bridges.
In spite of the great number of miles of ne\\'ly built roads and bridges on the State system, there still remains to be constructed a number of essential bridges and an extensive mileage of important sections of roads on our heavily traveled highways that will probably never be constructed until the Highway Department is proyidecl with a State fund for this purpose.
9

A careful study of the attached detailed report showing funds raised by the counties for the construction of State roads would indicate that a large majority of them have already reached their limit in financing this work and I am led to believe that a great number should have reserved this expenditure of their county funds for their county roads. However. if the State system of roads is to he completed it will be necessary to provide a State fund for this purpose, at least. to the extent of matching Federal funds of approximately two million dollars annually.
Eighty per cent of the people of Georgia are within only a iew miles of the State High\\ays and since there has already been a tremendous improvement within the Jast three years of the 5.500 mik sy,km, thru new construction and systematic maintenance the concentration of traffic on this comparatively ,;mall system (being only 7' ( oi the entire road mileage oi the entire State) has made innnediately necc,;,;ary the providing of iuncb for paving certain section,; of this sy,;tl'm at once and continuing thcreaiter the paving of these main artcrie,; a, rapidly as funds, labor and material can he mack available.
Even should we begin this important work at once it cannot he accomplished rapidly enough to keep pace "ith the constant!) increasing traffic upon which the prosperity, happiness and health oi our people
so vitally depends. Traffic census taken recently on the iivc State roads leading out oi
1'Iacon shows the following: ( Jn the road leading tm\ ard Dublin at the city limits oi :\lacon there
were counte<l on May 28th and .2\ith between the hours of 3 A. 11. and 9 P. ,\1. +.338 \Thicks of all classes. On the same days on the Forsyth road a total of l:l.200 ,chicles; on the Clinton road leading into Jones county a total of .2.030 vehicles. on the Houston county road a total of 3,50-1 nhicks and on the Columbus road leading into Cra,dord county
there \Yen 2.-105 vehicles counted. t;ot only are these figures truly amazing but everyone kno\\s how
utterly impossible it is to maintain anything hut the highest type of paving in travelable condition in all kinds of weather \\ith traiiic even averaging this amount. This ,ame condition exists in several sections of Georgia especially around large con1mcrcial and industrial centers. Over the arteries leading into these ccnters passes the traffic to and from the surrounding agricultural counties. l'pon the cost of transporting their goods over tlwse highways depends whether there will remain to the producer' a proiit or loss at the end of the year.
For the same reason it is utterly impossible to properly maintain the State system of roads radiating from the large centers when the expcnclit ure of State funds for this purpose is based on Stall' road mileage
within the county. Generally speaking, the counties surrounding the large commercial
and industrial centers arc weak financially and as a consequence cannot afford \veil constructed roads; yet, due to their proximity to these large
10

t:entns, the traffic on the State roads \Vithin these counties ts tremendous-thirty or forty times the volume and tonnage as on some other highways on the State system. Therefore. it can he readily seen that the State Highway Department should be allowed more latitude in expending iunds under their supervision.
The same point is very strongly brought out by the report of the bridge department. \Vhile one county may have ten thousand lineal feet of bridges to maintain, an adjoining county may relatively have no bridge maintenance expense. nc,crthcless, the funds are allocated to be expended \Yithin these. based on their proportion of State road mileage \vithout regard to bridges: "hereas, we all know our bridges must he kept repaired for the safety and convenience of the traveling public: It has been impo"ihle to properly maintain certain important highways as heavy equipment could not pass over many brirlges as recehTd from the counties.
Bridges arc expensin to keep up, particularly the old wooden ones, a great nmnber of ,,hich this Department inherited from the counties. \i\'hen a county has a large number of these old bridges on the State systen1 no funds arc left for road maintenance after the bridges are repaired.
Altho. the volume of traffic on our roads largely determines the amount of money necessary to he expended in maintaining them, of course, the condition of the highway also has considerable to do in governing the funds required for the upkeep.
Included in the roads received from counties arc over a thousand miles of highways which have never been properly constructed and because of the Department being li111ited in its expenditure of funds \vithin these counties, according to such county's road mileage (and not on their actual requirements) no appreciable improvement can be made. The funds for maintaining the State Highway System of roads and bridges, considering the adual physical condition of the large mileage of roads and bridges. the nature of their construction. plus the volume of traffic, have hecn entirely inadequate.
The entire expense of suneys, plans, preparation of maps, supervision of construction and accounting for the expenditure of Federal and County funds in constructing the State Highway system of roads. also. the prO\iding of certain monies to several counti,;s to construct State road,;, in fulfillment of contracts made prior to change in law, and the purcha,;e of all the equipment for actually maintaining the State system of roads. must first be deducted from the auto license fee, on; only source of income, before the money for actual maintenance is set aside.
ln the year 1922 this fund was insufficient for the undertaking. In fact, at the very time of year when it \\as most important to undertake maintenance work \\e were compelled to suspend operations for two months because of financial stringency and \Yhen we resumed work it could be conduckd only 111 a limited manner during the months of
11

January and February because collections of license fees were not made until March.
Tn justice to the men in the field actually performing the work, it must he realized that the continuous and heavy rains have destroyed the results of their efforts almost as fast as they could machine their roads, during the months of April and May. The weather Bureau and the farmers will testify along with our patrolmen as to the accuracy of this statement. Nevertheless, it is the genenl opinion of the traveling public that the entire State system of roads, in spite of all the above enumerated difficulties, is in f:1r better condition today than ever before.
In 1924 there \vill be more funds for this work. Not only that hut our organization will be more experienced and skilled in the art of maintaining roads.
The maintenance organization consists of one supervisor in each of the eleven divisions who has direct charge of maintenance, acting under the Division Engineer. In each Division there are from eight to eleven patrol sections with one patrolman to a section, the patrolman being held responsible for the maintenance of the section to which he is assigned. (Get1erally from 50 to 00 miles in length).
This patrolman who actually operat<:s th<: tractor on his section. has to assist him, a machine operator and from t,,-o to three laborers, likewise the n<:cessary machinery and equipment for the work in hand.
The patrol sections are too long, but with the amount of money available they cannot he shortened at the present time. Thus, it is seen that there is the minimum of supervision in each Division. All money possible is put into actual maintenance work. There are at the present time one hundred and eight patrol sections and only eleven supervisors looking after the work in the entire State, besides, the eleven division engineers who have charge of the con,truction as well as maintenance work.
Therl' i:; one engineer from the main office in Atlanta who visits the clc,en divisions and co-ordinates their work with the general office, recctvmg daily reports from each of the eleven supervisors as to his activities, condition of roads, equipment, etc., coming under his observation that day.
In the accounting department a cash credit is set up with each county's pro rata of the maintenance fund placed to its credit. At the end of <:ach six month calendar period the amount expended on the roads is compared with the county's maintenance allotment. Should there he an over expenditure in any county this is corrected by a reduction of expenditures, the foi!O\\ing six month's pnioct; and should we fail to expend the amount to which the county is entitled in accordance with the law, our records will shO\\' the balance due the county and this additional amount will he to its credit for the next six month':; work.
12

It is important that the counties understand that they will ultiinately have expended on their roads the amount to which they arc entitled under the law.
There is published elsewhere in this report a tabulation showing the number of patrol sections, where located, length of same, name of patrolman, and all labor and equipment assigned to the sections.
I wish to repeat that the patrol sections are too long to be maintained :properly with the labor and equipment assigned to each, but it was :necessary to make the number of sections and equipment conform to the amount of funds available and not according to what. in my judgment, 'was the requirements for adequate maintenance.
I wish to emph;size the statement that there are some portions of our main highways which, on account of the nature of the material in the road and other sections over which there is such a tremendous volume of travel, that even with an unlimited amount of funds cannot be adequately maintained until paved with a permanent surface.
I wish also to emphasize the statement made by our bridge engineer that at least one hundred thousand dollars is needed each year to replace wooden bridges ,,hich are rotting away and will fall down and block traffic on some of our most important arteries of travel.
It takt:s time to construct a bridge. 1 beg that you give this your most seriom thought and urge the legislature to remedy the defect in our present law, either by providing a state fund or permitting the use of $100,000.00 oi the auto license fee for rebuilding these old bridges. In addition to this I would also urge that the emergency fund be increased from $30.000.00 to $100,000.00.
I wish to also urge that our motor vehicle Ia\\ be admended so that all owners of motor vehicles be required to pay a license ice. At the present time there are some counties where there is a flagrant abuse of the present Ia\\. In the county seat of one of our counties recently, thirtynllle trucks and autos were county ont of a total of eighty with no tags.
ln another county a similar large number of motor vehicles were operating ,,ith either last year tags or no tags at all.
I wish to present to you the following facts which bear on this subject. The publication of the Nation<J! Auto Chamber of Commerce for 1923 shows that the ratio of motor vehicles to population in Georgia is one motor vehicle to 20.2 people, Georgia ranking 46th among the 48 States of the l!nion. In Korth Carolina there is one motor vehicle to 14 people: in Io,va there is one motor YChicle to 4.8 people and in California there is one to every 3.8 people, California having more motor vehicles per capital than any other State.
It i,; my belief that Georgia has considerably more cars per capita than the records shO\\' and that \\'C lose at least $300,000.00 each year from bx enforcement of the motor \chicle Ia\\'.
In the city of Atlanta there arc 16.200 automobiles: 4,000 trucks; 9.000 taxies and jitneys and 2<) htbes: making a total of 26.051 nhicll'S.

Thus, it is seen that any financing of the construction or maintenance. of tiH' State system of roads. either by the auto license fee or the proposed gas tax would be borne largely by the city counties, the weaker counties getting the direct benefit,
Georgia has a total of 420 consolidated schools. Tn 1922, 162 wereconsolidated. This 1922 consolidation was largely made possible by the improved condition of the roads of the State.
16,350 pupils \\ere transported to and from these schools at public expense; IOA95 were transported in motor buses.
A survey was made of 80 Georgia counties in 1922 by county agents tO' ascertain the number of motor trucks on the farms. Tn these 80 counties 1li,Lll farms \\"ere visited and 7,297 trucks \nre found in usc. 59 of the counties expressed a need ior more trucks and 71 of the 80 expressed a preference for the one and two ton truck. All oi the above facts hear directly upon our roads.
Georgia is building at a tremendous expense a sy:;tem of public highways. A very small per cent of the users of these roads arc causing a tremendous damage to them and some of these usns oi our roads arc paying into the State Treasury no revenue ior their upkeep, such is the man who uses a tractor to pull one, t\YO and three trailers hea,il, loaded with lumber. 1 have seen this done in a munber of localities; others. arc hauling logs on two wheel carts absolutely destroying the \\ork of days and weeks of our maintenance department which \YOrk is financed by other users oi our roads.
There are still others who pay a license fee to repair the damage they do to the roads hut on account of the fact that their trucks arc grossly overloaded the damage done is considerably in excess oi the fee they pay. I i<.d that our laws should be modernized to protect the large investment which the people arL making and that reasonable limits should he placed on the users of our highways such as gross loads, speed, width oi tires, etc.
There are other users of our higl1\vays "ho are commercializing their use and reaping profits out oi all proportions to the returns they make to the road fund and at the same time seriously injuring our ,;Jwrt line railroads which are taxed and cotrollcd as public carriers. This, also, should hav'"e the cardul thought oi our legislators.
During the last year, as our records will sho1Y, it has been impossible to secure stone at the time it was needed, altho. tlw amount oi \YOrk during the p;bt Y-ar was very limited. A:; a consequence it became necessary to use substitute matnials which \H' consider inferior.
1 most urgently request that our quarry be colnpletcly equippnl as soon as po;;sible, in order that we may be prepared to at lea.q carry on a modest paving programme when needed.
Recently the cement contract with the .:\ational Cement Company of Birmingham, Alabama, entered into by this Department for approxi" matcly 150.000 bhls. of cement, terminated.
15

Our records show a net saving to the state road work of $39.611.00. At the termination of the contract \YC were rece1vmg cement at 35c per barrel less than the market price.
Considerable has been said about the use, during 1920, of a modified . form of contract by this Department, designated as Form "B". Altho this was thoroughly investigated by the Legislature of 1921 and found satisfactory, I wish to repeat that by the use of this contract thne was a considerable net saving to the State as our records will show.
The Department received bids on both this form of contract and the usual form and when conditions indicated that it was advantageous to use the Form "B" it was done. The net results, as stated, sho" a large saving by its use.
A fair comparison can be made as we have on file the lowl'st bids submitted on the usual form of contract and also the actual cost of the job by the Form "R" method; also, it was the only way work could he carried on at that time.
Our Department has been compelled to rent oificc (jUarters as well as shop and storage space for Government equipment donated to our State. It was impossible to find suitable office accommodations, also shop and storage facilities in anyone site, thereby, resulting in a separa .. tion of our organization.
The steadily increasing shipments of excess road supplies made it apparent that the old 4uarters and shop facilities were entirely inadequate as well as expensive, due to the distance from railway sidings. It was, therefore, determined to secure a location directly on a railway where all of the activities of the shop, warehouse, and gennal office could be concentrated.
Such a location was secured at East Point, yeorgia, six miles from the center of the City oi Atlanta and upon this permanent site have been constructed a large machine shop for the rebuilding of several hundred trucks and tractors donated to our State by the Federal Government; a large warehouse for the housing and protection of truck and tractor parts and otha materials used valued at almost a million dollars which were also given our State by the Government; two large air plane hangars, in which arc also stored valuable supplies; one large shed for storing trucks and tractors which have been overhauled and are held in readiness for shipment ,to counties for maintenance work; a large frame building ii1 which will he located a testing laboratory and a carpenter shop.
Over the permanent warehouse, office space has been provided where all of the employees of the Department working in the General Office arc located. The removal of our office to our own building alone saves the rental of downtown space for which we paid over $5.000.00 annually. \Ve not only save the rent but have much better facilities for the performance of the work.
16

A small dining room and kitchen was constructed on the place to save the time of the employees in going to and from luncheon. This space is leased to an individual who operates a cafeteria, furnishing the noon hour meal.
There is a side. tractk of two trunk line railroads coming into the property and reaching the very door of the warehouse.
As our detailed report shows we received and shipped several hu.ndred car loads of materials last year, the saving in handling this large amount of material from and into our warehouse can be readily seen.
The machine shop is equipped with the most modern and up-to-date equipment for rebuilding and repairing the several hundred trucks, tractors and cars received .from the Government and which have greatly aided us in the performance of maintenance and construction work on not only our own roads, hut those of the counties. This machinery is valued at $45.000.00 and was also donatt:d by the Government and without which it would have been impossible to utilize the other equipment and materials received from the Government.
All of the trucks, tractors and cars were second hand and required overhauling. This was made possible in our own shop, whereas. charges in other garages would have been prohibitive.
A large quantity of the war surplus materials was useless for the building and maintenance of roads; therefore, this class of materials ha~ been exchanged for road building and maintenance equipment and other utilities of more use to the Department in carrying on its work.
My Department has been seriously handicapped on account of the lack of legal advice in handling several phases of our work. [ would recommend the establishment of a legal department as it is unwise, in my opinion, to conduct so large a business without this advice.
In conclusion, I wish to say that I, with the close and sympathetic co-operation of the heads of all Departments and the entire personnel, realizing the enormous amount of work to be done with the very limited amount of money, have endeavored at all times to safeguard and conserve these funds.
[ t is my belief that Georgia has constructed the many miles of roads and bridges which have been completed, as well and as economically as has any State in this Union and I am sure all records bearing on this subject will confirm this belief. As a consequence few States can boast of a lower overhead expense than that of Georgia.
I wish to thank each of you as Members of the State Highway Board for your considerate and courteous treatment thruout the year. I have considered it a great privilege to work under your direction and it has been a real pleasure.
l respectfully submit reports from each Department.
W. R. NEEL, State Highway Engineer.

EQUIPMENT DEPOT
As has been previously reported. the equipment depot was mo,cd from its former location on Beatie A,enue. ;\tlanta. to East Point. Ga .. on account of lack of railroad facilities. At former ~ite all incoming and outgoing freight had to be hauled a distance of over a mile. as a result of which the cost of handling the greatly increased receipts of surplus war supplies and their reshipment to the districts became excessive. East Point, being located on the main line of two railroad,; with ample siding and switching sernce, the saving in hauling of equipment clue to the convenience of loading and unloading facilities will lll' apparent.
The location consists of one site, of approximately one and eight tenths acres, purchased from A. & \\'. P. R. R. for $21.700.00, on which has beC'n erected sufficient permanent housing facilities to take care of the entire local State Highway Department activities; consisting of:
One shop building, 66'x210', steel frame. corrugated metal. One warehouse and office building, two story, 66'xl60', steel frame. expanded metal and stucco. One building used for Cafeteria. wood and expandeel metal with stucco. One storage shed and carpenter's shop, 40'x20o', wood frame' and corrugated iron. One Bessoneau hanger. 76x106' wood frame and canvas. One Bessoneau hanger, 76'x76', wood frame and canvas.
Another temporry location consisting of approximately eight acres, about three hundred yards distance from the permanent site. being rented from A. & \V. P. R. R. ior $80.00 per month. on which are two temporary sheds and two ilessoneau hangers, each 76'x76', the acreage being used for storing of trucks and miscellaneous war supplies.
The equipment depot received and shipped one hundred and se,entyl'ight solid car loads, and three hundred and ninety-nine less car loads of Government equipment during the year.
The handling oi all equipment has impron?d to such a great extent that orders can he filled and shipments made to all points in the State promptly.
The shop Is completely equipped with machinery for machining and finishing all castings and semi-finished part:; of trucks, tractors and other road building equipment. This machinery valued at $44,-t86.57, as well as the spare parts and other equipment now in our warehouses, valued at $807,383.41, was donated to the State of Georgia by the Government. The cost of structures to January 1st, 19.23, is $-t3,370.69.

In each division there is one person acting as property clerk and reporting direct to our Property Auditor in the Genna] ofiicc in Atlanta. Each property clerk is undn bond, signs personally for all propertv sent into his division, and is held personally responsible for this property.
\\"c han found that in addition to kecping up \vith equipment, our proper!\ clerks are able to gather (from their practical maintenance men) irom their own experince and observation. and from the different construction gangs, and reports. ,-aluahlc information concerning the real \HJrth to the Department of the various equipment. This infonnation is cardully kept tn a way to lw oi immetbl' help in determining just \\-hat nnv equipment should he bought front time to time.

PROVIDING 1923 EQUIPMENT
Each division engineer \vas so closely in touch with the quality and condition oi the property in his O\\-n division, that he \vas able, early in December, to forward to the General Office requisitions listing the new cquipmcnt needed for the 1923 maintcnance and construction program.

PROPERTY ON HAND JANUARY 1, 1923

fn our January I, 1923 inventory e\ery precaution was taken to in-

,;ure accuracy in determining not only the quantity, hut the present

value of equipment. This inventory amounts in dollars and cents to

a total of $538,260.72 and includes maintcnance equipment of all kind>;

road and bridge construction machinery and equipment; motor equip-

ment ,uch as automobiles, tractors, trucks, etc.; machinery ancl equip-

ment at our Oglesby, Ga. quarry (in the 4th, Division); and any other

property actually in use and necessary to the carrying on of our work.

The above inventor does not cover any of the new equipment purchas-

ed ior 1923; neither does it include real estate, building,;, property in

storag( at our \Yarehouse and shops, nor, does it covcr motor equip-

ment released by us to the various counties for usc in road work.

Information about these things can he found elsewhere in this report.

lt \YOuld not be practical to show here in the limited space pro\ided

an itet11izcd list of that part of our property iri active service as oi

January I. 1()23. However, a general distribution of its value can be

made as follows:

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
During the year 1922 there were completed and accepted a total of 41 projects practically all of which were carried over from the previous year, the total mileage of oads being 276.33 miles and the cost aggr.egating $2,625,086.72. On January 1st, 1922, there were under construction, 65 projects with a total mileage of 474.97 miles. On January 1st, 1923, there were under construction 113 projects with a total mileage of 755.18 miles or an additional mileage over that of January 1, 1922, of 280.21 miles. The total mileage of road's and bridges completed and under construction as of January I, 1923, amounts to 1806.94 miles with a total estimated cost of $24,199,613.46, with Federal Aid participating in the amount of $9,870,706.41.
For the year 1923, Federal Aid Allotments have been made and County funds pledged to place under construction a total of 568.08 miles of new construction involving a total estimated cost of $5,365,896.49. The total value of work completed, under construction and contemplated for the next year amounts to $29.565,509.95, and a total mileage of 2377.46 mile.
As the department was not assured of additional Federal Aid appropriations until after the passage of the Act approved November 9th, 1921, and the subsequent issuance of new rules and regulations to conform to the requirements of the new Act, it was not until spring that the necessary surveys and plans were made for new work. The new requirements of the Federal Law with regard to placing the County funds under the direct control of the State Highway Department, also tended to handicap some of the smalled and weaker counties financially, but except in a few isolated cases, the counties through close co-operation with, cthe department were able to meet the Federal requirement. On accotin.t of the late start in preparing plans and surveys and submitting projects to the Federal Government, the bulk of new contracts were not let until the summer and fall of the year 1922, however, the prices bid \vere unusually low and the State and Counties were able to put under construction a much greater mileage than was anticipated with the funds at hand, Due to steadily increasing cost of all materials and the scarcity of labor, the cost of work for the ensuing year will undoubtedly increase. In fact the contracts being let at this time are considerably higher than those let 3 months past.
Under the present arrangement where the state has no funds to match the Federal Funds for construction, the funds being supplied by the various counties as their finances will permit, it is not possible to map out in advance any definite program for making plans. and surveys. When a Federal appropriation becomes available, and allotments are made to the counties, it is necessary to hastily recruit a force of engineers and draftsmen to prepare the plans and surveys, which, when c~mpleted, necessitates the release of the greater number of the men. The same thing applies to engineers suprvising construction work. It is blieved that a material saving in engineering experience could be
73

effected and more uniform res ults obtained if th ere we re uff: _:cnt state funds ava ilable to permit the depa rtment to plan in advance the work to be done from year to year in order that a stable, efficient . organization might be employed for twelve months in the year, rather than recruiting practically a new field organization each yea r. On account of the uncertainty of the length of employment, the department at this time is having conside rabl e difficulty in securin g and keeping engineers needed on surveys and construction of Federal Aid Project .
The .department is continuing its policy of grading the road , constructing drainage structures and surfacing the projects with local top soil or sand cl.i!Y and gravel and allowing the road bed to se ttle, thu s detecting any weak spots which may develop before placing the permanent pavement. There are a numb er of projects in the stat e which have been so constructed and the local sand clay or gravel has been used as a wearing surface and the additional funds have become available, th ese projects are being re- surfaced with pavement.
The department i continuing its policy of eliminating wh ere ver possible even at a con siderable expense, railroad g rad e crossings by relocation or overhead crossing or unde rpass. Frequent conferences have been held wi th th e va rious roalroad officials in an endeavor to ecure th eir co-operation and assistance in grade crossing elimination. .\Ve have met with varying success; in some instances th e railroads l1ave very willingly co-operated and in others, have bee n very reluctan~ in taking part in the cost of elimination of grade cro sings.

BRIDGE DEPARTMENT
The progress of the State Highway bridge work is shown in the accompanying tables. For convenience in reference the tabulations arc divided showing the work of each district separately and the summary table summates all work for the State. In considering these tables, the number of designs prepared, etc, it should be borne in mind that the records include only structures with a length along the roadway exceeding twenty feet. Structures shorter than twenty feet are classed as culverts and have not been listed separately. Plans for the culverts are also prepared by the bridge department so the work included in addition to that listed elsewhere a large number of culverts of both special and standard design.
At the present time (January 1923) there are under construction 67 projects involving bridges, the total length of the bridges on these projects is 24755 lineal feet and the contract price for the bridges is $1,928,197. The larger bridge projects included above are the Savannah river crossing at Savannah, the Flint River crossing at Bainbridge, the crossing from the mainland to St. Simons Island in Glynn County and many others equally as important hut not quite so large. The Savannah River crossing at Savannah is an interstate project being constructed jointly by Chatham County, Georgia, The Sa,vannah River Bridge Commission of South Car9lina, the Bureau of Roads, and the State Highway Deparh11ents of Georgia and South Carolina.
By agreement with the South Carolina State Highway Department all engineering on this project is being handled by the Georgia Department, the South Carolina Department has in turn handled the engineering on the bridge over the Savannah River near Augusta. With so many parties to the contract, and as the approval of the War Department had to he secured, there has naturally been delay in getting the project under way, but work began in November and satisfactory progress is being made. There are five bridges in the riroject with a combined length of 5869 feet and fills across the marshes with a length of 18,700 feet, making the total length of the project 24569 feet or about 4.7 miles. All bridges are of reinforced concrete except the steel draw span in the bridge over the navigable channel.
The crossing between the mainland and St. Simons Island is being constructed jointly by the City of Brunswick and Glynn County. The State Highway Department has co-operated with Glynn County on the engineering of this project but is not hearing any part of the cost of the construction. There are five bridges with a length of 4526 feet and fills across the salt marshes with a length of 14500 feet, making a combined length of 19026 feet or about 3.6 miles. The bridges are oi creosoted timber trestle with steel swing spans on concrete piers over the navigable channels in Back River and Frederica River.
A study of the tabulated summary shows that 52979 feet of bridges have been completed and 12787 feet are under construction at present,
79

jl I
making a total of 65766 feet, since the Department began work in 1917. According to a co1~1plete bridge census of the State Highway System made in 192i ~nd an estimate Of the new bridges needed to complete the State System, inclu.di'ng interstate connections, the total length of bridges required by p~esent State System is 170.000 feet. It will thus be seen that the completion of four tenths of the bridges is already in sight.
This may be considered satisfactory progress and if it could be continued an alleviation of Georgia's bridge ills could be expected. The history of this progress shows. that when Federal Aid became available the counties in stronger financial position immediately began to avail themselves of this help to do the more urgent construction. vVith many notable exceptions, for which the weaker counties who made the effort at co-operation a~ far as they were financially able, are due much credit, the progress. in permanent construction has been confined to the richer counties of the State. This is due. not to any discrimination on the .part of the Highway Department, but is due to the fact that Federal Funds must be matched by State funds and as no State funds have been available, the counties which would co-operate by matching Federal Funds have been benefited. These richer counties are rapidly constructing the bridges and with this accomplished will naturally turn their attention to paving. Unless there is a change of system a slowing up of the progress in bridge construction, unfortunately is to be expected as i~ a large measure the bridges still to be constructed are located in the poorer counties where no funds are available for matching Federal Aid. These conditions serve to emphasize the need for State funds if any progress is to be made in the weaker counties.
Many of the Counties have called upon the State Highway Department for advice of engineering on bridges on the County highways. The calls have been quite varied, including inspections of old bridges. and advice about repairs, review of proposed plans. surveys, and complete detail plans for structures, etc. The surveys and plans are shown in tabulated form. The Department is making every effort to render service to the Counties and opportunities to assist the counties in their bridge problems are welcomed. The service includes inspections with recommendations on repairs, surveys and preparation of complete plans. and general supervision of construction work. No charges are made for these services.
In several divisions a number of timber bridges have been built un. der a maintenance construction program and the amount of this work is shown in tabulated form. In general these bridges have been built in accordance with state standards either by contract or with state forces. The work has .been financed by allotments from the regular maintenance funds, special allotments from the $50,000 emergency fuodl and. by co-operation and assistance from the counties. The majority
80

of the funds, however, are from the emergency fund as the maintenance allotments are too small to cover any work except minor repairs. Funds at present available for this work are inadequate. There are about 1,000 old bridges with a total length of about 90,000 feet; practically all of the bridges are timber trestles, with a few steel bridges carrying wooden floors. Under average conditions in Georgia a well constructed timber trestle bridge, with proper maintenance and repairs to the flooring, will last from 8 to 10 years before complete reconstruction is necessary. Assuming that these bridges would need reconstruction at a uniform rate and that the average life is 9 years, then about 10,000 feet of bridges must be constructed each year. During the past year the cost of this construction has averaged about $10.00 per foot of bridge, but as there has been a very material advance in the price of lumber the cost per foot will be considerably more this year. it will thus be seen that the funds necessary for this work must exceed $100,000 per year if the bridges are to be properly maintained. This repair fund will be progressively reduced as permanent construction replaces the old bridges. Unfortunately, a great many of the bridges turned over to the State Highway Department by the Counties when the State Highway System was taken over for maintenance were in such bad repair that maintenance was not possible without complete reconstruction and in order to keep the highways open to the emergency fund has been alloted to this construction. \Vhile this is an emergency in that it was necessary to keep the highways open still it is an emergency which will come up year by year and a separate fund should be available for the work rather than the emergency fund which should be reserved for real emergency damage caused by floods, washouts, unusual seasons, etc.
At the beginning of 1923 the State Highway Board adopted a rigid budget system. The Bridge Department prepared an estimate of the more urgently needed repairs which totaled about $90,000. As funds for such a purpose-no matter how worthy-were not available the .Board instructed the Bridge .Engineer to reduce this estimate by elimination until Jt came within the emergency fund which was alloted for this purpose. The result is complaints are -constantly being received about the condition of certain bridges and the maintenance department is handicapped because they cannot transport the heavy equipment.
The present Highway Law directs the State Highway Board after making certain specified deductions to expend the available funds in the several counties in proportion as the State Highway road mileage in each County is related to the State Highway System as a whole. This may or may not be fair on the road distribution but it is obviously entirely unfair for bridge maintenance. The larger streams of the State are not distributed in proportion to the road mileage. For example, it would not be just to Pulaski County or to Laurens County
81

if the entire cost of painting, maintammg bridge tenders and general maintenance of the bridges at Hawkinsville or Dublin be deducted from the limited allotments for maintenance in these two counties. Such a plan would unfairly handicap the road maintenance programs in these counties. These bridges are used by all traffic passing from North \Vest to South East Georgia, regardless of County lines and other counties than Laurens and Pulaski should in a measure share the maintenance expense. A fairer method of handling the maintenance on the large bridges would be to deduct a fund for this purpose from the general funds before making maintenance allotments to the several counties. In this way the state as a whole would bear the expense rather than the particular counties in which are located these large bridges. The system is too new for this matter to have received much attention, but it is a problem which will increase in magnitude from year to year and is recommended for careful consideration.
At several points in the State large bridges are urgently needed both for local and thru traffic; among these the proposed bridge over the Ocmulgee River at Lumber City deserves special attention as all traffic on State Routes 15 and 27 is frequently interrupted. Both of these are important thru routes and serve large sections of the State in addition to the thru traffic.
During the past year the Department has had several communications from the Alabama State Highway Department and from interested citizens of Alabama and Georgia concerning the old wooden bridge over the Chattahoochee River near Eufaula, Alabama. This is an interstate bridge which carries a large amount of traffic and the bridge "is in had repair, in fact, it is entirely inadequate for 'the traffic. The Department is advised that Alabama stands ready to bear one-half of the cost of reconstructing the bridge, hut no funds are available for Georgia's share. This incident serves to emphasize the awkward position of the Georgia Department which is totally without funds for construction work. Unless the adjoining County, in Georgia, sees fit, or is financially able, to put up the funds, no interstate bridges, no matter how important, can he constructed. This, obviously, places an undue burden on border counties in case they finance the bridges, or retards proper interstate travels in case the bridges are not constructed. The above named bridge is only one of several interstate bridges which are needed. Georgia should not be forced to stand back when her sister states are offering to join hands with her.

DEPARTMENT OF TEST AND RESEARCH.
The State Highway Department during 1922 has conducted many of its tests of road materials through its own laboratory, and has instituted
cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads important research vestigations on the life and economic efficiency of the sand-clay, top soil, and gravel roads already built with Federal Aid. The routine tests of materials for current construction has assumed large proportions requiring the full time of an assistant in the laboratory. The samples analyzed in 1922 number 812 and the anticipated needs during the coming year will be much greater. The samples have '1nsisted mainly of material intended for sand-clay types of road surlacing. The current activity of the department is mainly concerned with this class of roads and thorough tests of available material along all of the new projects are made. This work has direct importance in selection of the best approved material existing within short hauls of the places where it will he used. The State Highway Department ;, securing these tests at minimum costs under the present arrangements. The tests on cement. concrete sand, and gravel are cared for as they arise. The department pays the salary of its own employee and a small annual sum for chemicals, use of laboratory, and replacement of apparatus. On July 1, 1922 the State Highway Department entered into a cooperative research agreement with the Bureau of Public Roads whereby a comprehensive investigation of the traffic behaviour and efficiency of the recently built sand-day top soil and gravel roads in Georgia may be determined. The parties thereto share the cost in equal amounts. A list of completed Federal Aid road propects whose construction cost is known was selected to the number of 29 located so as to cover all portions of the state and representing a wide range of the materials as sed. The program outlined is as. follows: 1. Traffic counts are being systematically kept on the selected procts to cover eight days in each month, two days being used in each ~ek. In one month the record covers 1\\o Sundays, one Monday, one cesday, one W cdnesday, one Thursday, one Friday and one Saturday. ;eparate count is made of trucks, passenger cars, and horse drawn hides. 2. The cost of maintenance on these roads is carefully kept and ;eparates the cost of maintaining ditches, shoulders, and traveled road 1>ed. 3. The laboratory has been called on to take samples at characteristic points along the projects, to analyze the material, and to keep full notes of existing conditions taking photos to supplement these notes. Two field inspecitons are planned each year, one in the early spring and
her in the late summer. Samples will be taken annually and . to detect changes in the quality of the material if they occur, ter notes relative to changes of thickness, drainage, etc. as bear-
up the service and life of these roads. This investigation if contill_, d to the point when resurfacing of the roads becomes necessary
103

will furnish the financial and other data most valuable in deciding upon a wise choice of material for such construction.

During 1922 this program has been successfully begun and it will be continued during 1923. The data already accumulated is highly instructive and important.

In addition to the economic phases of this research work. opportunitv is provided to make further scientific studies and tests on the sand, sil~. and clay which enter into these road soils and to devise further criteria by which to select the best of such materials for a given piece of road.

This \York at present is proc.eeding under the direction of Dr. C. M. Strahan at Athens. The laboratory equipment has been enlarged and special apparatus devised suitable for the work. Mr. Tom M. N eibling serves as Research Engineer and Mr. J. B. ~loon is employed as assistant.

The Federal Aid projects under reo;earch study are:

Amounts to be expended from the major aptropriation are:
$ 5,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1917. $10,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1918. $15,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1919. $20,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1920. $25,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1921. A deduction for administration not to exxceed 3 per cent. of the appropriation for any one fiscal year is to be made by the Secretary of Agriculture. after which The remainder of each year's appropriation is to be apportioned among the States in the following manner: One-third in the ratio which the area of each State bears to the total area of all the States. One-third in the ratio which the population of each State bears to the total population of all the States. One-third of the ratio which the mileage of rural delivery and star routes in each State bears to the total mileage or rural delivery routes and star routes in all the States. Roads which may be constructed under the act are defined as those over which the United States mails are now or may hereafter be transported, excluding streets and roads in places having a population of 2,500 or more, except that portion of such thoroughfares along which the houses average more than 200 feet apart. Federal money may be expended on construction only.-The term "construction" is construed to include reconstruction and improvement of existing roads, but expenditure of funds is authorized upon only such projects as may be substantial in character. The limit of expenditure which may be made by the United States upon any road is $10,000 per mile, exclusive of the cost of bridges of more than 20 feet clear span. And in no event shall the share of the United States exceed 50 per cent. of the total cost.
