To His Excellency, The Honorable L. G. Hardman, Governor, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Governor:
We submit herewith Annual Report of the operations and activities of the State Highway Board of Georgia for the year 1927.
Yours truly, STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA,
JOHN N. HOLDER, Chairman, STANLEY S. BENNET, Member, JOHN R. PHILLIPS, Member.
ii
'fo the Honorable State Highway Board, John N. Holder, Chairman, Stanley S. Bennet, John R. Phillips
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit to you my report covering the operations and activities of the State Highway Department for the Fiscal year ending December 31, 1927.
Attached, you will find detailed reports covering the activities of the several departments, as regards Engineering, Construction and Maintenance of the State Aid System of Roads.
As will be seen from the detailed reports notable progress has been made in the Construction and l\faintenance for the year, there being a total of 1081.57 miles of roads of various types completed during the year and 28,141 lin. ft. of Bridges of the mileage of roads constructed. A total of 388.11 was of the permanent types.
I wish to urge the Board to make provisions for protecting the surface of all gravel, chert and macadam roads by placing a surface treatment or higher type of surfacing thereon to save the investment in roads of this type already constructed and to utilize the present material in the road for the base for a more permanent type of surfacing.
East Point, Georgia.
Respectfully submitted, W. R. Neel State Highway Engineer

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT.
The Accounting Department during the year 1927 had its first year under the new accounting system and, with minor changes that will be made from time to time, we believe the system covers the field as nearly as possible and enables the Accounting Department to furnish the desired information.
The report following is by far the largest that has been made by the Accounting Department, due to two reasons. First, the system in use enables us to furnish a more detailed report and second, the amount of money handled during the year 1927 was far in excess of any previous year.
Attention is called to the word "Advances" used in the report. The funds shown as advances are in each case funds furnished the various Disbursing Units with which to handle departmental expenses and are in no case advances to individuals.
Also wish to call attention to the report of the State Auditor,
Hon. Sam J. Slate, which is made at least yearly and in even
more detail than the report herewith furnished. The Examiners of the State Auditor's office are of great assistance to the Accounting Department of the State Highway Board in various ways, particularly by calling attention to the method of handling some of the accounting work, suggesting changes toward the betterment of the system. The best of co-operation is given the Accounting Department by the State Auditor's office at all times.

STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA
TABULATION OF CONSTRUC1'ION
During the year 1927, we completed 236 projects of types as follows: Graded, Sand-Clay, or Top-Soil. ...................... . 382.08 Gravel, Chert, or Limerock ........................... . 72.84 VVaterbound11acadani ............................... . 16.87 Surface Treatment ................................... . 221.67 Bituminous 11acadam ................................ . 64.02 Asphalt ........................................... . 40.07 Concrete ........................................... . 283.64 Brick ........................................... .38
Total. ...................................... 1081.57 Bridges ....................................... 28,141 Lin. Ft.
The cost on the above completed projects was $18,555,416.32. Some of the projects did not show the actual final cost due to the fact that the accounts had not been closed when this information was compiled.
The total number of projects completed to December 31, 1927, was 763, costing the total amount of $55,068,881.20. The projects under construction on this date which were carried over into 1928 numbered 121, amounting to 714.55 miles of road and 27,477 lin. feet of bridges. The estimated cost of these projects is $10,176,306.86, which brings the total value of the work completed and under construction to a cost of $65,245,188.06.
During the year 1927, projects were placed under construction which would eliminate 29 grade crossings by relocation and 13 by overhead crossings. This brings the total number of crossings eliminated on the State System to 325, which were divided as follows,-263 by relocation, 51 by overhead structures, and 11 by underpasses.
The cost of completed projects and projects under construction represent the final cost of completed projects and the estimated cost of projects under construction, and should not be confused with the amounts shown as paid out in the Accounting Division of this Annual Report. The amount paid on projects completed in 1927 may have been paid mostly in 1926, though the total value of the completed projects was shown in 1927 and some funds were paid out in 1927 on projects shown under construction. Therefore, the total work completed in 1927 as shown under Tabulation of Construction represents the Final Cost of Projects Completed during 1927, regardless of whether the funds were paid out in that year or not and the expenditures for construction as shown in the Accounting Division of the Report represents the amounts paid on projects shown as under construction, as well as on completed projects, and the two figures should not be confused.

BRIDGE DEPARTMENT 1927
The year ending December 31, 1927, has witnessed the continuation of the big and important problem of providing safe and substantial means of crossing the streams and rivers of the State. This problem has been solved by the building of many bridges of various types, involving the use of structural steel spans, reinforced concrete and treated timber. Each bridge site has required its individual solution, and this Department has endeavored to select the economical type of structure most suitable, due consideration being given to the location, amount of anticipated traffic, accessibility of materials and available monies.
A complete tabulation is incorporated in this report, summarizing the bridge construction progress for the last twelve months. A similar tabulation was shown in the Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1926. On account of a change in the Board's method of keeping statistics these two reports are somewhat at variance. The data in last year's report was based on the actual percentage completion of structures irrespective of whether the structures were totally complete and accepted. 'l'he data tabulated for the current year shows under the heading "Work Completed to January 1, 1928" only such structures as have been totally completed and accepted, all other structures being shown as under construction. This method of showing statistics will be followed in the future.
From the above tabulation it will be noted that from January 1, 1927, to January 1, 1928, 26,136lin. ft., or 4.95 miles, of bridges of all types, including maintenance, have been completed. Likewise it will be noted that since the organization of the Highway Department 140,494lin. ft. or 26.609 miles of bridges of all types, including maintenance, have been completed.
A few of the major projects completed and under construction during the year are concisely described as follows:
Proj. No. 427A, Appling-'l'oombs Cos.~A structural steel and creosoted timber bridge over the Altamaha River on Rt. No. 17 between Lyons and Baxley. This bridge consists of 414ft. structural steel spans including a 208ft. draw span, and 4106 ft. creosoted timber trestle. The total length is 4520 feet. This crossing is very advantageous to north and south traffic, and is open to travel.
Proj. No. 432C, Glynn-Camden Cos.~This construction is on the Coastal Highway between Brunswick, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla. It consists of four separate bridges across Turtle River, South Brunswick River, a small stream and the Satilla River, aggregating in length 4449 feet. There are 336 feet of structural steel spans, and 4113 feet of creosoted trestle and I beam spans. 'l'his project is 90 per cent complete.
Proj. G-8-35, Thomas County.~A reinforced concrete cantilever and deck girder pile trestle 1216 feet long across the Och-
65
locknee River between Thomasville and Cairo. This bridge is under construction and will take the place of old timber trestles.
Proj. G-9-34, Wayne-Long Cos.-This crossing consists of 10 bridges aggregating 5912 feet long over the Altamaha Swamp between Jesup and Ludowici. There are 593 feet of structural steel spans on concrete piers, and 5319 feet creosoted timber trestle. This bridge has been let to contract, and will provide a crossing at an important place where there is no means of crossing at the present time.
It has been the custom in the construction of interstate bridges for the states to alternate in the design and supervision of construction, each state bearing fifty per cent of the final cost. Several bridges have been built in this manner, by co-operation with South Carolina, Florida and Alabama. The following bridges, were completed during the year or are under construction, with agreements between the respective states as above:
Project No. 447, Elbert County.-A reinforced concrete open spandrel arch bridge over the Savannah River totaling in length 1436 feet. This bridge is open to traffic, and takes the place of a ferry. The design and supervision of construction was handled by the Georgia Highway Department.
Project G-9-15, Charlton County.-A reinforced concrete cantilever and deck girder bridge 361 feet long over the St. Mary's River between Folkston, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida. This bridge is open to traffic and takes the place of a toll bridge. The design and supervision of construction was handled by the Georgia Highway Department.
Project No. 456, Early County.-A plate girder and reinforced concrete pile trestle 1311 feet long over the Chattahoochee River between Donalsonville, Ga., and Dothan, Ala. This bridge is under construction. The design and supervision of construction is being handled by the Alabama Highway Department.
Project G-4-1 Columbia County.-A structural steel and reinforced concrete deck bridge 1883 feet long over the Savannah River north of Augusta. There are 605 feet of structural steel trusses and 1278 feet of reinforced concrete approaches. This bridge is under construction and when completed will replace a ferry. The design and supervision of construction is being handled by the South Carolina Highway Department.
During the years 1924-25-26 a special bridge paint crew has been operated to repaint steel structures, but this year a survey of the State showed very few bridges of this type requiring this maintenance. It was deemed unnecessary to send this crew out until the year 1928.

EQUIPMENT DIVISION
With some changes the Department continues to operate as of 1925 and 1926 with the exception of Warehouse, which has taken over all supplies, inventories, etc., which is operated separate from Shop.
The Equipment Division is now self-sustaining and operates at approximately 40% to 50% savings to the State, of what the cost would be from outside Shops. This on account of having every facility necessary to expedite the handling of all equipment.
The Base Shop at East Point during the year completed 1157 Shop Jobs of various natures, which consisted of mostly rebuilding, overhauling, remodeling, manufacturing, general maintenance and handling of various items, machinery and equipment both new and used, also including road signs, repairs and improvements to buildings, grounds, etc.
There are carried in stock twenty-one trucks, twelve tractors and motor graders and eighteen smaller units of equipment for exchange or replacing of equipment in the Field that breaks down or in need of rebuilding. This necessary in order not to stop the Road Work on account of broken or run-down equipment.
Which has an actual Shop Value of . . . . . . . . . . . . $38,530.18
TESTING LABORATORY
Without some explanation of the work done in the Laboratory, the figures below would be to the average reader meaningless.
Before January, 1924, the State Highway Department had no Laboratory of its own, but it did not attempt to build roads without enlisting the services of several commercial laboratories. The University of Georgia and the Georgia Technological School were also called upon. Dr. Strahan at the University of Georgia controlled the quality of top soil, clay gravel and chert used on all of our roads of these types. The Pittsburg Testing Laboratory tested the cement at the various cement mills, and the reinforcing steel. The Atlanta Paving Laboratory tested most of the sand and inspected most of the timber and concrete pipe. The Atlanta Paving Laboratory and the Pittsburg Testing Laboratory inspected the sheet asphalt.
But, in 1924 the item of testing materials was beginning to become by no means an insignificant item. The quantity of materials used heretofore was very soon to be doubled and then tripled. The method of having the testing of materials done by a half dozen dii1erent and distant organizations was not satisfactory, and was getting to be quite expensive. So, in the spring of 1924 on the Department's own site in East Point, a laboratory building was erected adjacent to the main office building. In July, 1924, all arrangements for the testing and inspecting of all ma-
69
terials used in State Highway projects by the state's own laboratory were completed, and with completion of these plans came the end of a great many problems.
The State Highway Department after July, 1924, could consult her own compass in matters regarding the suitability and choice of road building materials instead of having to write or wire to some one else for guidance.
~ow, every carload of cement used in the projects of the State Highway Department is first tested and approved. Every carload of sand, gravel, stone, slag, asphalt, metal culverts, etc., is tested and approved before it is used. Every joint of concrete pipe and every stick of timber is inspected and stamped with the Department's 0. K. before it is shipped to one of the state projects. A Field Inspector from the Laboratory selects the top soil used on each top soil project. In short, no material is used without first being tested and approved. By way of checking the quality of materials and the t'fficiency of contractors on concrete paving projects and concrete structures, concrete cylinders are moulded daily and sent to the Laboratory for test. As shown below 1348 of these cylinders were tested during 1926. Upon completion of a concrete paving project cores are drilled from the pavement to ascertain the thickness and strength. 167 of these cores were drilled and tested during 1926.
On each sheet asphalt paving project, the Laboratory maintains a plant inspector whose duty it is to control the quality of the materials and the mixture. The State Highway Department before it had a Laboratory, paid three cents per sq. yd. for sheet asphalt plant inspection. It is now done by our own Laboratory at not over one cent per sq. yd.
Besides carrying on the routine work of testing materials for their suitability, the Testing Laboratory is constantly engaged in investigative work. Many problems concerning the merits of certain new materials, the exactness of methods, and concerning economy have been solved in the Laboratory.

MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
This department was organized during April, 1920, and consisted of a very small mileage of constructed roads. Until March 15, 1921, the maintenance of these roads was handled directly from the General Office, the section method being used with from 6 to SO miles in each Section.
A Patrolman, or Foreman was placed on each Section with the necessary assistants for longer Sections, who reported daily showing progress made, time and materials and general conditions throughout the Section.
The scope of maintenance operations having greatly increased through the taking over of numerous completed projects, the entire department was reorganized on lVIarch 15, 1921, by creating eleven maintenance districts, each being placed in charge of the Division Engineer. A Maintenance Supervisor was employed to assist the Division Engineer and to closely supervise the maintenance work in each section, haying direct control of all foremen and laborers. The Supervisor made daily reports to the DiYision Engineer and weekly reports to the General Office.
'fhe maintenance mileage was gradually increased as new construction projects were completed and approximately 650 miles were under maintenance at this time.
Under Act of the General Assembly of 1921 the taking over of the entire system of State roads, amounting to 5500 miles outside of corporated towns, was authorized. This necessarily placed an enormous task on the Department. Dne to the fact that funds were not available no equipment was purchased for maintaining this extra mileage until April 1st, and due to the great time required for delivery our full maintenance force could not get under way until late in the year.
Each section, containing about 50 miles of road, was in charge of a Foreman, who either drove a truck or tractor or acted as machine man. The sections were divided into patrol sections of 10 miles in length. Each of these 10-mile sections was in charge of a Patrolman, whose duties were to inspect his section at all times and to keep constantly at work in patching, ditching, etc.
In addition to the maintenance sections there were two or three heavy equipment, or betterment outfits in each Division, whose duty was to work over several maintenance sections, repairing bridges, grading and shaping highways.
At the beginning of the year 1923 the maintenance system still consisted of eleven divisions of approximately 500 miles each, and from 9 to 12 sections each, in charge of a Maintenance Supervisor, assisted bv a Patrolman on each section. To assist th~ Patrolman the n~cessary number of operator and laborers are assignerl to their charge.
74
Each of the maintenance sections were equipped for light maintenance work as follows, approximately:
1 Small Tractor 1 Heavy Truck 1 Light Truck 1 Road Machine Drags The number of heavy maintenance outfits was increased to four for each Division, all equipped for doing the necessary machining of surface ditching, shaping, etc., as follows: 1 10-Ton Tractor 1 12 Foot Road Machine 1 10 Foot Road Machine 1 Light Truck Scarifier Drags It was, however, impossible to operate these outfits the entire vear due to lack of funds. - On January 1st, 1924, the maintenance system was changed from eleven divisions of about 500 miles each to nine divisions of about 600 miles of State roads. With the increase in mileage and to more efficiently carry on the maintenance work, a Maintenance Engineer was appointed in each division, whose duties were to supervise all maintenance activities with the concurrence of the Division Engineers. The Maintenance Supervisor was still retained to assist the l\1aintenance Engineer and to make inspections and reports and outline the work to Patrolmen on each section. Each division was provided with a garage or warehouse located at some convenient point and one mechanic was furnished each division for the purpose of inspecting equipment, making minor repairs and instructing Patrolmen in the operation and care of equipment. At this time the organization consisted of from 12 to 16 maintenance sections in each division, each being about 50 miles in length. The maintenance organization now consists of 9 divisions of about 700 miles each in charge of the Maintenance Engineer, assisted by Supervisor and Patrolmen. We now have 160 main sections and 100 sub-sections, totaling 260, or an average of 20 miles each. By a sub-section is meant that there is an additional dragging unit, such as light tractor or heavy truck in the section. 'fhese are, however, to be found only in sections where the mileage exceeds the average for a section by an appreciable amount. Attention is called to the fact that up to the year 1925 the quantity of equipment was far insufficient to enable the Department to properly maintain and grade roads at short intervals, which is very essential to efficient maintenance. The section of road to be
75
covered by each outfit was too long to be scraped at just the proper time to obtain best results. Also the equipment consisted almost entirely of worked over machinery obtained from the War Department.
Since the above date we have from year to year purchased new machinery and this addition has enabled us to make great strides toward keeping the system in good condition to receive traffic. During this year we have been able to drag or machine all roads over the system in two days' time after rains, thereby obtaining better maintenance results.
Since the equipment list has steadily increased it has become necessary to allow an additional mechanic for each division for the purpose of inspecting and repairing equipment.
STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT 1927 Following is the detail of Maintenance Personnel and Equipment bv Divisions and sub-divided into sections. 'fhe name of patrolffi'an in charge of each section is given. The maintenance equipment assigned to each section is shown. However, this is not an inventory of total equipment but denotes the actual equipment in operation. Each Division has extra or heavy maintenance equipment in reserve at the different garages or Division shops of the Department. Neither does the equipment include machinery assigned to construction, etc.

SIGN DEPARTMENT
In 1927 from January until July, the Sign Department, operated three crews or parties of Sign Posters. In July, one of the parties was taken from the regular sign work, and, with a new road marking machine was put to markin?; the centerline of our paved highways. It was necessary then to or?;anize a fourth party to replace the third party with the regular sign posting.
In a number of states, the posting of the roads is under the supervision of several Division or District Engineers. In our Department, all sign work is under one hcarl. Fndcr this one man the crews work. Each crew consists of a Foreman and usually only one helpPr though on exceptionally hard or rushed work another helper i' furnished. Since these crews are sent out all mer the State and arc on the road continuously their board and lodging is paid by the Department, but the salaries of these men arc in accordance with this practice.
Each Foreman is furnished with a "~Ianual Specifications" adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials They arc instructed to use this manual as their guide wherever it is possible.
This Department placed in addition to the regular cauton signs and markers, 490 reflecting signals. Th~se were placed on the Atlanta-::\Iacon road, upon the completion of the pavement between these cities. These reflectors are not only danger and warning signs but reflecting route numerals. These have proven ?;reat assistance to night travelers.
Be?;inning in July we put into operation a center line road marking crew. This work can be clone only in warm weather and when the pavements are perfectly dry, therefore our progress was impeded after October, but the work was continued through December.
In mid-winter, we work our parties in the southern part of the State. The weather is much less severe and there arc a great many more workin?; days. Then as spring comes we gradually work our crews northward until in mid-summer they are working in the mountains where their work is not hampered by extremely hot weather. As fall approaches, they gradually begin to work southward until by winter they are a?;ain working in a comparatively warm climate. This method of operating saves the department the loss of a large number of working days due to climatic conditions.
Included with the machinery, equipment and surplus war material given to this department, by the Government, was a large supply of angle iron posts. Since the organization of the Sign Department, these angle iron posts were used for the erection of all signs. However, we found that these posts rusted through very quickly and were very easily twisted, turned around and broken
101
off, so as soon as our Government supply was exhausted we adopted for use, the cresoted 4" x 4" pine post. We are able to purchase these posts just as cheap and sometimes cheaper than the iron posts and we have found that they will last considerably longer and are more difficult to turn or break off besides giving an added appearance to the signs.
All signs placed on our highways conform in size, color, shape and lettering to the Standard adopted and recommended by the Association of State Highway Officials and the United States Bureau of Public Roads.
Following is a table showing the work of each party and the total number of signs placed.

TRAFFIC CENSUS
A traffic census was made during 1927 as has been since 1922. The method of counting is the same but the number of traffic county stations was increased. During this year there were 131 traffic count stations. At eighteen of these stations, which were located at junction points of two highways, a double count was taken which makes a total of 149 traffic counts.
For the benefit of those who are not familiar with our system of counting traffic, we give a brief outline.
The strategic points throughout our system are designated by our Division Engineers. At each of these points a person is placed to make the actual count. They are furnished with forms and given complete and detailed instructions.
The counts arc made every third month, February, 1\lay, August and K ovember. The counts cover a twch-e hour period from 6:00 o'clock A.M. until6:00 o'clock P.M. on each day of the week. For instance, the first week the count will be made on Sunday and Monday, the second on Tuesday and \Vedncsday, the third on Thursday and Friday and the fourth week the count will be taken on Saturday.
The counts at the end of each day are sent to the respective Division Engineers, who, at the end of each count month, summarizes the counts and sends all papers to the General Office.
The information gained is used to determine types of surface, alignment, maintenance and reconstruction and is referred to often by not only our own Engineers but also the Federal Bngineers in this District. We have frequent calls for this data from individuals and Civic and Commercial organizations.
Special note is called to the tables on page . . showing the percentage of Georgia and Foreign cars and also the percentage of passenger cars and trucks. The percentages of Georgia and Foreign cars and passenger cars and trucks varies only slightly from the 1926 percentages. The 1926 percentages being as follows:
Georgia Cars. . . . . ............................ 77 %
Foreign Cars .................................. 23 %
Passenger Cars ................................ 87.6% '!'rucks ....................................... 12.4% In the table following ''Average Daily Traffic on State Highway System" is shown the average traffic per day, taken throughout the year as described above, on the various roads.

PURCHASING DEPARTMENT
All purchases are made through a central purchasing department located in the general offices of the Highway Department, East Point, Ga.
Purchases are made upon the signed request or requisitions of division engineers and other department heads, and in conformity with the Georgia State law requiring bids on goods to be purchased. All vendors arc required to send invoices for goods in duplicate showing our purchase order number to the general offices at East Point, where they arc checked against our copy of purchase order to see that prices are same as quoted; also to see if shipment was made to the proper person and destination. After this has been checked, the invoice is forwarded to division engineer or head of the department where requisition originated for his approval before payment is made.
There is keen competition among dealers for the State's business and for that reason as well as our method of advertising for sealed bids, we enjoy very low prices on all commodities purchased.
ROAD INFORMATION AND MAPS
Our Department is now rendering a service of which the Georgia Motorists as well as Foreign ::V1otorists should be justly proud. Up-to-the-minute, reliable and unbiased road information is available to anyone writing, wiring or phoning.
In bad weather our bureau is constantly kept posted by wire and phone of every development whether good or bad and this information is circulated through newspapers, Motor Clubs, Chambers of Commerce and Individuals. During these bad times we attempt to give our information as wide a circulation as possible.
In the files of this bureau are maps of every state in the Union which are available to anyone free of charge upon request. We do not attempt to give accurate routings out of our state, but if requested, we will select from the maps what appears to us to be the best route. During the past year we routed several tourists to the Pacific Coast, several to less distant Western Points numerous people to Chicago and New York and hundreds to or through our State, most of them enroute to South Georgia or Florida.
Each month we publish a corrected map showing, not only our system up-to-date, but up-to-date detour information. These maps are in great demand and are distributed freely through Georgia and the surrounding states and likewise throughout the Eastern and i-Jorthern states. vVe are continually receiving compliments on the accuracy, neatness, and the practice of correcting and publishing this map each month.

SECTION 3. Whenever the department, with reference to State roads, or a board, with reference to county public roads, shall direct the elimination of any grade-crossing by means of any underpass, overpass, or by relocation, or shall direct the guarding of a grade-crossing by an automatic signaling device, prompt notice of the order in such regard shall be given to the railroad company or companies involved; and within ten (10) days thereafter the representative of the department or board and of the railroad or railroads involved shall meet, and thereafter, within a reasonable time, adopt a layout mutually satisfactory for the construction of a grade separation structure or automatic signaling device. Any such layout so adopted by or through the representatives of a board and of a railroad shall be submitted to the department for its approval, and no work looking to the elimination of the grade-crossing pursuant to the plans so q,dopted shall be begun until and unless the department concur therein and approve the same, or unless the railroad or railroads involved may agree that its or their portion of the expense involved in the elimination of such grade-crossing shall not be charged against the maximum sum which any one railroad may be required to expend in any one calendar year under any or all of the provisions of this Act, as hereinafter provided. Failing to agree within a reasonable time, then the department or (as the case may be) a board may order the railroad or railroads involved to proceed with the construction of such grade separation structure as it may be required, and as indicated in the plans and specifications accompanying its order; provided, however, that no order of a board entered in such regard shall be binding until and unless the same be concurred
1511
in and approved by the department. It shall be the duty of said railroad or railroads to begin work on any such grade separation structure within sixty (60) days after the receipt of a binding order to that effect, and to complete the structure within a rea;,;onable time; provided, however, that in no event shall the railroad or railroads be required, without its consent, to do the actual physical work in providing approaches by fill to an overhead structure or the excavating beneath the supporting structure of an underpass or the approaches thereto, but the cost of such work shall be considered a part of the cost of the grade elimination, whether actually performed by the railroad or the department or board, and such cost shall be apportioned as hereinafter provided.
SECTION 4. The department or board may, by agreement with any railroad company, apportion the work to be done in the construction of any grade separation structure, between the railroad company or companies and contractors acting under the control and supervision of the department or of the board; provided, that whenever the department or a board, or any of its or their employees or contractors acting under the orders of the department or board, or of its or their contractors, shall go upon or be upon the right-of-way of the railroad company, they shall be subject to any reasonable rules and regulations of such railroad made for the protection of its traffic, employees, and passengers.
SECTION 5. \Vhen either an overpass or an underpass is constructed under the provisions of this Act, the same shall be so designed and constructed as to be sufficient to accommodate at least one railroad-track in addition to those existing at the time of said construction, unless this requirement is waived by the railroad.
SECTION 6. The division of the costs of elimination of gradecrossings by means of grade separation structures sha~l be as follows:
(a) The total cost of surveys and of the preparation of the plans and specifications, and of the estimates of the cost thereof, shall be paid, one-half by the department or county board, and one-half by the railroad or railroads involved.
(b) The total cost of a grade-crossing elimination by the use of an overpass or underpass, including the establishment of drainage, shall be paid, one-half by the department or (as the case may be) the board, and one-half by the railroad or railroads involved; provided, that the construction expense in which the railroad or railroads involved may be required to participate shall be confined to the grade-separation structure and the approaches thereto not exceeding three hundred (300) feet on each side from the center line of the track or tracks as measured along the center of the highways. The approaches shall not be regarded as
159
extending farther than from grade point to grade point, and the railroad shall not be charged with any cost of paving, except on the flooring of an overpass.
(c) In no plan providing either for an overpass or underpass shall the department or board interfere with or change the grade or alignment of the tracks of any railroad, or relocate the line of the railroad, without its consent. Nothing herein, however, shall prevent the department or county board and the railroad or railroads involved from mutually agreeing to the change of the grade or alignment of any track or tracks, or the relocation of the same, and in case of such an agreement the expense of making such change shall be borne equally by the department or board and the railroad or railroads involved; provided, that such change in the railroad-tracks has been made at the written request of the department or county board.
SECTIO::--.J 7. Whenever in the judgment of the department the installation of an automatic signaling device may be reasonably required at a grade-crossing of a State road, and whenever in the judgment of a board the installation of an automatic signaling device may be reasonably required at a grade-crossing of a county road, the department or (as the case may be) a board may require, by written order, the railroad or railroads involved to provide such automatic signaling device as may be appropriate. In any such case the expense of acquiring and installing such device shall be divided equally between the department or county board and the railroad or railroads involved, but the railroad or railroads involved shall at its or their own expense maintain the same.
SECTIOI\ 8. whenever in the judgment of the department exercised in respect of a State road, or in the judgment of a county board exercised in respect of a county public road, an existing underpass or overpass, constructed prior to the approval of this Act, is unsafe or inadequate to serve the traffic for which it was constructed, then the department, when State roads be imohTd, or the board, when county public roads be involved, may proceed to bring about the improvement or betterment of the existing structure. And in any such event the procedure and division of the cost of construction and the cost of the maintenance of such improvement or betterment, shall be as herein set forth in sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act.
SECTIOl\ 9. After the construction of an overpass or underpass, it shall be the duty of the department in the case of State roads, and of the county boards in the case of county public roads, to maintain at its or their own expense the drainage, surface, and pavement of the highway and bridge, as well as the approaches and guard-rails, if any; except that when an overpass is constructed
160
with a floor of wood, then the railroad or railroads shall maintain such floor. It shall be the duty of the railroad or railroads to maintain at its expense the foundations, piers, abutments, and st:perstructures of all underpasses and overpasses located within tLc limits of its right-of-way.
SECTION 10. The railroad company or companies involYed shall have the right to select the material to be used in the construction of the grade-separation structure, provided that such material shall not be less durable than crcosoted timber of a quality at least equal to that required by the standard specifications of the department for its own bridge work. Neither the department nor any county board shall require any railroad company to construct an underpass of a design, specification, or plan, the strength of which, in the judgment of the railroad company, shall not be sufficient to meet the requirements of its traffic thereover. In no event shall any railroad company be required to participate in the cost of the construction of any overhead bridge upon a basis or proportion in excess of the cost of a bridge that would be suitable to carry ordinary highway traffic according to the standards of the department, which standards are now for a strength sufficient to support a fifteen-ton roller.
SECTION 11. Any judgment, decision, or order of the department, or of any county board, whether entered upon any question invob:ing the practicability, advisability, or necessity of eliminating any crossing at grade or involving the apportionment of cost of construction, or any other question arising under this Act, shall be subject to judicial review. Pending the final determination of any proceeding at law or in equity so instituted, the department or any county board may, without prejudice to either party, and at its own risk, proceed with the work of eliminating the crossing at grade inYolved in such litigation, subject to final judgment of the court as to all questions involved in such litigation.
SECTIOK 12. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prcYcnt such department or county board from reaching special agreements with railroad companies providing for grade-crossing elimination by means of relocation of either the railroad or highway involYed, or by other means and arranging for joint participation in the cost of such elimination on an agreed basis.
SECTION 13. In all cases where grade-separation structures are built hereunder, the railroad shall permit the use, free of cost, of so much of its right-of-way as may be necessary.
SECTION 14. Where more than one railroad is involyed in the separation of crossings at grade, that portion of the cost of construction and maintenance which this Act provides shall be
161
paid by the railroad or railroads shall be apportioned between such railroads by agreement; and in case they can not agree, the same shall be fixed by the department or (as the case may be) by the county board, after a hearing, subject to a judicial review as provided in section 11 of this Act.
SECTI0 N 1S. All existing grade-crossings replaced by gradeseparation structures, or avmdcd by relocation of highways and no longer used by the general public, shall, where possible, be closed, and where continued shall be private crossings and not subject to the pro\isions of the statutes of Georgia relating to railroad-crossings.
SECTION 16. No railroad shall be required to expend in any one calendar year, under any or all of the provisions of this Act, a sum in excess of $40,000.00; provided that no railroad whose gross earnings from both inter and intrastate business in the State of Georgia, as reported to the Public Service Commission of Georgia for the preceding calendar year, did not exceed $2,000,000.L0 shall be required without its consent to expend in any one calendar year, under the provisions of this Act, a sum in excess of $3,000.00. In any case where the proportionate part to be paid by a railroad for the elimination of a crossing at grade, when added to amounts theretofore expended and 1 or tor which obligations have been incurred, would exceed the amount which a railroad may be required to expend under the provisions of this section, the department may pay the excess over and above the aggregate of payments legally permissible for requirement of the railroad, and thereafter collect the same with legal interest during succeeding calendar year or years; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring any railroad company to expend in gradeelimination costs and protection in any one calendar year more than the applicable amount as hereinbefore specified.
SECTION 17. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act or any section of this Act arc hcrcoy repealed.
