Hardman, Governor, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Governor: We submit, herewith, Annual report of the activities of the State Highway Board of Georgia for the year 1928. The State Highway Board has received, during the year 1928, $5,151,315.65 from gas tax; $3,910,118.34 from auto license fees; $1,900,250.65 from Federal Government; $1,933,772.56 from county participation in cash and contract credits and $14,450.02 from miscellaneous sources, making a total of $12,909,907.22 for construction, maintenance and administration. The total funds available for highway purposes have shown an increase from year to year. However, the records show a relatively much greater increase in comtruction, during 1927 and 1928. Contract construction work has been completed in greater volume and in less time than at any period previous to the dates mentioned. The first year that the State Highway Board received gas tax funds for construction was 1924, the total amount of which was $1,112,032.40. The next year, 1925, the revenue from gas tax amounted to $1,404,139.16; in 1926 the revenue from this source was $2,328,574.44; in 1927 $4,837,857.35 and in 1928 $5,151,315.65. The progress that Georgia has made in road paving since revenue has been obtained from gas tax has been something that is almost marvelous. In 1924 the State Highway Board paved 42 miles of roads on the State Aid System. In 1925, 107 miles; in 1926, 190 miles; in 1927, 569 miles and in 1928, 285 miles completed and 299.29 miles under construction most of which was completed the early part of the year 1929. But paving was not the only construction work successfully carried on, for in 1924 the total number of miles of road graded, sand clay, topsoil, chert, and gravel completed was 353; in 1925, 346; 1926, 407; in 1927, 416; in 1928, 440 completed and 634.35 under construction. Making a total of highways either completed or under construction in 1927, 972 miles and the total completed or under construction in 1928, 1074.35 miles. The State Highway Board has a program outlined for the years 1929, 1930 and 1931 that will connect up many of the unpavPd links which now exist on the State Aid System. Not less than 1200 miles will be paved during these years. This will result in many of the highways of the State being connected with paving from State border to State border. Already, when this letter of transmittal is written, there is completed a paved highway from Savanpah to Florida; from Augusta to Florida; from Atlanta to Florida; from Atlanta to We~t Point and only one link between Atlanta and North Carolina via Gainesville and Blairs- II ville that is not under construction and this is a short link from the Chattahoochee River to Quillians Store and another link from New Rolland to Baldwin, a stretch of 20 miles. Both of which will be put under construction during the year. By the end of 1931 not less than 3000 miles will be paved on the State Aid System, which is almost 50% of the mileage on the State Aid System as it exists today. If the Legislature provides the revenue from another cent a gallon on gasoline, it means more rapid construction of the highways on the State Aid System and Federal Aid System of Georgia. The State Highway Board has located, obtained right-of-way, graded, built culverts and other drainage structures and improved 5400 miles of roads. Some of this total has been constructed of a higher type over lower type construction some of the total is still under construction as noted above. Much of the State Aid System is now ready for paving. This has been a work that has been absolutely necessary before much paving could be done. In the preparation of roads for paving, the State has spent $24,735,121.00. While unforeseen contingencies, such as floods and overruns have somewhat handicapped the State Highway Board in the handling of its finances, Yet at this time when this letter is written, the finances of the State Highway Board are in good shape. Expenses of the Divisions have been met; Contractors estimates have been paid and the Coastal Highway has been paid for and only a few estimates from counties are yet to be met and the work of construction can now be carried forward without interruption. The bridge construction during 1928 shows a total of 21,572 lin. feet. The total number of bridges completed on the State Aid System is 30.70 miles. Georgia has made a splendid record in bridge construction. Already 87% of the bridges on the State Aid System have been completed and it will be only a short time until all the major bridge structures will have been completed. No State in the Union has built, with Federal Aid, as great a mileage of bridges as had the State of Georgia, and the work of road and bridge building has been carried on at a far less overhead expense than is provided by law. A summary of expenditures by the State Highway Board for 1928 shows in percentage: .92% for surveys and plans 82.00% for construction 13.89% for maintenance and 3 .19% for general expense or overhead The law allows 6% for overhead but the actual overhead amounts to about 3-1/5%, a little over half the amount allowed. This is a record that we believe will commend itself to you and to the people of Georgia. The maintenance expense for 1928 was $1,766,692. 85. Grade crossings eliminated during 1928 were as follows: By relocation ___________________________________ 34 By overhead structures.. _________ ._____________ 5 By underpass structures _______________________ 2 TOTAL _____ -------------- _______________ 41 The total of all grade crossings eliminated during the history of the Department is 366; of these 297 were by relocation, 56 by overhead structures, and 13 by underpasses. III The Maintenance Division of the State Highway Department is now operating more economically and efficiently than in former years due to better organization and equipment. The roads are much more promptly dragged or scraped than formerly. Elsewhere in the following report will be found the personnel and equipment covering each section of each main division of the State. also detail analysis of distribution of all maintenance funds. During the past year, although the State has suffered from rains and floods, yet fewer complaints were made on account of impassable roads than has ever been since the organization of the State Highway Department. Damage to roads during 1928 due to excessive floods was very expensive and required a division of funds that had been allotted to construction and other regular maintenance. There were several disastrous floods during a period of twleve months, which destroyed fills, washed shoulders and roadways and filled ditches to an unprecedented extent. Fortunately our main bridges withstood the flood after heroic work night and day at different localities to prevent their destruction. It was flood damages largely that was the cause of the delay in payment on some of the construction projects of the State. The accounting system has been revised to meet the recommendations of the State Auditor and is now functioning with his approval. The Accounting Department has a splendid organization and is doing its work promptly and well. Property accounting has been so improved that an accurate, perpetual inventory has been inaugurated and the property is inspected and records verified by field surveys periodically. The property department has been made a separate unit and one man is responsible for records of all equipment. Further, the Warehouse stock, purchases and sales of parts and supplies are kept on a perpetual inventory basis, which is verified by an actual annual inventory. Under the old system, the Equipment Depot included both the Shop and Warehouse. The Board decided that it was better to operate each of these Departments as a separate unit. The name, Equipment Depot has been discontinued. The Shop under the new System operates as though it were an independent enterprise. It carries no burden but its own operating expense of labor, materials, supplies and repairs. No profit is charged on parts and labor further than a small charge for office help, which does not fully cover the cost of same. The Warehouse has been made a part of General Office activities and the expense of the Warehouse is part of the charge of General Expense (or Overhead) shown in this report. Every item of purchase and delivery of supplies, parts and tools, both inbound and outbound are recorded on a perpetual inventory. The separation of these two activities of the Department has been of great benefit in arriving at the actual operating cost of each unit, also, in keeping a better check on all transactions between Shop, Divisions and Warehouse. The Laboratory has proven to be asubstantial saving to the Depart- ment in time and cost of Analyses. In 1928 there were 7,750 different samples tested, which in commercial laboratories would have been much more costly. Not only are samples tested in advance of use but the Laboratory staff inspects materials at quarries, cement and culvert pipe plants etc. to ascertain the quality of product manufactured in anticipation of bids.

The accounting Department during the year 1928 functioned very satisfactorily during its second year under the new accounting system. Some minor changes were made that helped to clarify our records and to better enable us to furn,ish the desired information. The report has been reduced due to two facts:-First, that the State Auditor makes up report in detail once a year and it has not been considered necessary or advisable to make a report from the Accoun~ipg Department of great length. Second, the Statistical Department furnished report that t;ies into the Account;ing reports, therefore, much of the accounting data has been eliminated from this report on this account. The Accounting Department operated under difficulties during the year 1928, owing to the scarcity of funds, but were able to bring thej.r work to a satisfactory close at the end of the year to start on the new year with their records in the best possible condition. I wish to again call attention to the splendid cooperation given by the State Auditor, the Hon. Sam J. Slate, and his Exami- ners. The best of cooperation was furnished by his Examiners at all times and suggestions made by them that will tend to improve the Accounting system. 2 STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA REVENUE AND EXPENSE YEAR 1928 REVENUE State of Georgia Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund____ _ Fuel Oil Tax Fund__________________ _ United States Federal Aid on Construction ___ _ $3,910,118.34 5,151,315.65 - - - - $ 9,061,433.99 1,900,250.65 Counties Cash _______________________________ Contract credits ___________________ _ 1,671,202.34 262,570.22 $ 1 ,933, 772.56 Miscellaneous Rental of Equipment ______ ________ _ Interest On Bank Balances _________ _ Furey's Ferry Operation Income ____________________________ $ Expense___________________________ 8,779.19 6,004.78 Smith-McGee Bridge Tolls __________ _ 1,736.67 994.75 2, 774.41 6,435.18 Overcharge Freight Collections Collections _______________________ _ Collection Expense _______________ _ Damage claim Insurance Collections_ Sundry Items________________________ _ 2,787.50 2,750.47 37.03 1,883.03 588.95 14,450.02 Total of Revenue Receipts _____ _ $ 12,909,907.22 NON-REVENUE Counties Trust Deposits for Surveys and Plans at Dec. 31, 1928 (30) __________________ 124,330.32* at Dec. 31, 1927 _______________ c______ 101,781.53 Total of Non-Revenue Receipts __ _ 22,548.79 Total of Receipts ________________ _ $ 12,932,456.01 Balances, Jan. 1, 1928 Banks ______________________________ _ Advances ___________________________ _ Accounts Receivable________________ _ Inventory of Stores _________________ _ 57,605.91 182,889.06 113,751.51 24,791.20 354,246.48 379,037.68 "-This is an encumbrance on Dec. 31, 1928 Balance. $ 13,311,493.69 STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA REVENUE AND EXPENSES YEAR 1928.

For the better handling of all property accounts and investments, a separate unit was created during 1927, and a competent accountant was placed in charge. His duties consist of keeping an accurate account of all property on hand and accrued from time to time. To keep a record of destination and transfer of all equipment and the relocation thereof. To pay all invoices for new equipment purchased during the year. This record is supported and revised by an annual inventory taken by an independent inspector and appraiser. The record and inventory of parts, small tools and supplies are not kept in this Department, but by the Warehouse Department. In addition to the duties summarized above, the property accountant is in charge of all insurance and bonds issued upon the property and personnel of the department. Keeping a record of policies, expirations, renewals, premiums, etc. Following is an Inventory of Property and Equipment as shown by property records at close of 1928: 21 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY JANUARY 1st, 1929. ~aint. i I Constr.

Ft. The total cost of the above completed projects was $10,448,128.07. 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 through December 31, 1928 was 903, costing the total amount of $65,542,603.17. The projects under construction on this date which were carried over into 1929 numbered 163, amounting to 933.64 miles of road and 21,297 lin. feet of bridges. The estimated cost of these projects is $12,039,993.59, which brings the total value of work completed and under construction to a cost of $77,582,596.76. During the year 1928, projects were placed under construction which will eliminate 34 grade crossings by relocation, 5 by overhead crossings, and 2 by underpasses. This brings the total number of crossings eliminated on the State System to 366, which are divided as follows, 297 by relocation, 56 by overhead structures, and 13 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 1928 may have been paid mostly in 1927, though the total value of the completed projects was shown in 1928 and some funds were paid out in 1928 on projects shown under construction. Therefore, the total work completed in 1928 as shown under Tabulation of Construction represents the Final Cost of Projects Completed during 1928, 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.

Ochlochnee River Bridge West of Thomasville, Ga .- Proj. G- 8-35. BRIDGE DEPARTMENT 1928. General and Construction: A general reyiew of the bridge construction thru out the State is nry gratifying, and it is eYident that marked headway has been made in pro\iding all-weather, substantial crossings of the streams and riYers. A tabulation is incorporated in this report showing by DiYisions the number and lengths of Yarious type bridges built by the State Highway Board. A general summary of this tabulation is as follows: Total of all bridges completed during 1928, including maintenance program 21,5 72 lin. ft. or 4.085 miles. Total of all bridges completed to Jan. I, 1929, including maintenance program 162,094 lin. ft. or 30.700 miles. On account of relocations, and replacement of structures the aboYe does not indicate the exact number of structures on the present State Highway System, due to the fact that all construction is coYered. Furthermore the aboYe mentioned tabulation does not include projects for which the final estimate has not been passed, whereas the following includes all completed bridges. At the present time the Bridge Department is making a census of all bridges on the State System, coYering those structures built on State projects and those built by other organizations before the inception of the State Highway Board. This census is not entirely completed but the following approximate figures are reliably correct: Concrete, steel and timber bridges built on State Projects. _ 1058 (a 156,155 lin. ft. or 29.575 miles Bridges built by State Maintenance 137 @. 16,492 lin. ft. or 3.123 miles Total bridges built by State 1195 (it 172,647 lin. ft. or 32.698 miles Total bridges built by others 457 {!1 51,233 lin. ft. or 9.703 miles Grand tatal bridges on State System_ 1662 (a 223,880 lin. ft. or 42.401 miles The abo\e does not include structures in Fulton County or within cities exceeding 2,500 population. From the above it is seen that 77 per cent of the total bridge on the State System have been built on State projects or by maintenance. Some of the bridges built by other organizations than the State Highway Board are well built, substantial structures adequately designed and constructed to take care of traffic for many years to come. On the other hand some of the bridges built by the State Highway Board where local timber was used will have to be replaced.- A few of the major projects completed and under construction during the year are concisely described as follows: 71 Project Xo. 432C-, Glynn-Camden Counties-This construction is on the Coastal Highway between Brunswick, Ga., and Jacksomille, Fla. It consists of four separate bridges accross Turtle River, South Brunswick River, a small stream and the Satilla River, aggregating in length 4,449 ft. There are 336 ft. of structural stee1 spans, and 4,113 ft. of creosoted trestle and 'T' beam spans. Project G-8-35, Thomas County-A reinforced concrete can tilenr and deck girder pile trestle 1,216 ft. long across the Ochlocknee River between Thomas,ille and Cairo. Project G-9-34, \Vayne-Long Counties-This crossing consists of ten bridges aggregating 5,912 feet long over the Altamaha Swamp between Jesup and Ludowici. There are 593 ft. of structural steel spans on concrete piers, and 5,319 ft. of creosoted timber trestle. This work is under construction and when completed will prO\ide a crossing at an important place where there is no means of crossing at the present time. Project 1\o. 456, Early County-A plate girder and reinforced concrete pile trestle 1,311 feet long over the Chattahoochee Rinr between Donalsomille, Ga., and Dothan, Ala. This bridge is under construction and approximately 90% complete. The design and supervision of construction is being handled by the Alabama Highway Department. Project ~o. 656-B, Columbia County-A structural steel and reinforced concrete deck bridge 1,883 feet long over the Savannah Ri,er north of Augusta. There are 605 feet of structural steel trusses and 1,278 feet of reinforced concrete approaches. This bridge is under construction and when completed will replace a ferry. The design and supenision of construction is being handled by the South Carolina Highway Department. Design: The following is a summary of the work accomplished by the Designing Division of the Bridge Department, covering the year beginning January 1, 1928, and ending January 1, 1929. As far as possible the estimates of cost for the various structures are based on bid prices. Description Length Estimated Cost Concrete bridges ................ . 3,760 lin. ft. $304,344.85 Timber and steel bridges ......... . 9,618 lin. ft. 326,294.78 Structural steel bridges ........... . 397 lin. ft. 35,990.83 Total. ................ 13,775 lin. ft. 2.609 miles 10% Engineering and Contingencies ..... 666,630.46 66,663.04 Grand Total .......................... . $733,293.50 The aboYe tabulation represents work done on 73 projects including 102 bridge structures. In addition to the aboYe, eleven grade separation structures haYe been laid out tentatiYely but not completely designed; the design for a concrete arch bridge over the Tallulah gorge in Rabun County has been 75% completed; the bridge project oYer the SaYannah River east of SylYania has been laid out, and considerable time has been spent on small culvert layouts, reYision of standards and preYious designs, and design of new standards, and general office work. The amount of salaries and general office expense represents approximately 1.4% of the total estimated cost of structures designed. Bridge Test: Under the supenision of the Bridge Department a Yery interesting and complete test was made on a 160ft. open spandrel concrete arch bridge in Putnam County, Project ~o. 409-C. In general this test coYered an inYestigation of various stresses and temperatures in concrete and steel, which occurred during the actual construction of the bridge, and for a short time after the bridge was completed. The Department was aided by Yaluable suggestions and cooperation from the Bureau of Public Roads, Bureau of standards and others. Certain instruments and measuring devices were obtained from the Bureau of Standards and the American Society of CiYil Engineers. The results obtained were of considerable interest, and a complete report has been prepared coyering all phases of the test, which will be published in the near future. It is belieHd that the results of this test will furnish information and data Yaluable to the bridge engineering profession. Paint Crew: A special bridge paint crew was organized for the purpose of repainting steel structures thru out the State. This crew began work the last part of June and disbanded the last part of October, operating in all about four months. The work was distributed over twenty-fiye bridges, located in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th divisions, and in the following counties: Cobb, Gordon, Floyd, Dade, Chattooga, Fulton, Hart, Lincoln, \Varren and Baldwin. With the exception of the Hart County bridge, all structures were comparatively small and short, and much time and expense was necessary in transportation from job to job and from camp site to location of work. The following is a general summary of statistics showing quantities and costs of materials and labor. .:'-Jo charge has been included for rental of equipment or General Office Inspection. 73 GENERAL SUMMARY Bridge Paint Crew Total number of bridges painted ......... 24 Total lin. ft. of bridges painted 2,607 Bridge oYer Oconee River at ~Iilledgeville, touched up around shoes.

The work of maintenance consists of the repair, replacement, resurfacing or reconstruction of the surface; the proper machining and dragging of the surface on soil and sand clay roads; painting of traffic lines; filling of joints and breaks in the pavement with proper materials; filling of ruts and erosion in shoulders; repairing and cleaning of ditches, culverts and drains; cutting of weeds and vegetation; clearing and cleaning the rightof-way; repairing and replacing of route markers and safety signs; repairing, repainting and replacing of guard fence; repairing and repainting bridges, and the providing of detours to carry traffic during progress of construction. Maintenance is divided into two main divisions: (1) Ordinary maintenance, which consists of the ordinary or routine work done in keeping the road and structures in repair or in a presentable and usable condition. (2) Extraordinary maintenance, which consists of unusual or extraordinary repairs, replacements, or reconstruction of any type of roadway or structure, caused by unusual or out of the ordinary conditions, such as floods, tornadoes, slides, etc., or where the type of road has become unsuitable or inadequate to present dry traffic conditions, thereby causing an unusual or extraordinary expenditure of funds to restore or to keep in its original condition as constructed. Any work on the roadway which would increase the capital investment would be considered as a "Betterment" under the general classification of "Construction." A gravel surface laid on a graded and drained road would be considered as betterment. If a pavement is originally laid as a waterbound macadam and is surface treated, the first treatment is to be charged as betterment, but subsequent surface treatment is chargeable to general maintenance. If a 6" macadam surface is laid and allowed to wear to such an extent that it must be reconstructed and in reconstruction is increased to a thickness of 8" and a 2 bituminous top added, there is a betterment of to the extent of 2" of base and the bituminous top, which items should be charged to the betterment, the balance of the cost being entered as reconstruction. This department is regularly organized, employing the patrol or gang system, the State being divided into nine divisions of approximately 700 miles each. There is attached to each 77 division a Maintenance Engineer and Supervisor, whose duties are to make constant inspections, to supervise special work and to instruct Patrolmen in regular maintenance work. The entire State road mileage, whether improved or unimproved, is maintained by the department. The organization consists of approximately 160 patrol sections, these being made up as nearly as possible one for each county regardless of mileage. The mileage for sections consists of from twenty to sixty miles. While the Patrolman is in direct charge of all roads in a large section, he is furnished with competent men to act as assistants, who can take over and maintain portions of the section without his direct supervision. Each section is provided with a tractor or other suitable piece of equipment for each twenty miles of roads in his section. He is also furnished with necessary light trucks for soiling work, etc. The types of outfits used for regular maintenance work are made up as follows: Five-ton tractor with two 8, machines, One-man power unites with two-ton tractor, Heavy trucks with drags or light machines. For heavy work, such as reshaping, widening and bettering unconstructed roads, two ten-ton tractor outfits with heavy road machirtes are operated in each district. These outfits are provided with necessary light trucks for handling materials. During the year this department has suffered the ravages of three heavy floods throughout the State, causing great damage by washing out roadways and structures. Due to the very heavy cost of making these repairs the department was greatly handicapped in carrying on the usual standard of maintenance during the last few months of this year. 78 STATE HIGHWAY BOARD OF GEORGIA DETAIL DISTRIBUTION OF MAINTENANCE EXPENSE BY COUNTIES First Division Malnt.

Under such a ruling it would seem impossible to avoid delaying contractors in their construction work, but such is not the practice. A system is in force by which samples are obtained in advance of the shipment, and by the time that the shipment arrives on the project for use, the Resident Engineer has a copy of the Laboratory Report covering tests of the material. In 1928 seven thousand seven hundred and fifty different samples, were tested or an average of about 27 samples per working day. The 1927 report shows that more samples, per employee were tested in the Georgia State Highway Laboratory than in any other State Highway Laboratory in the United States with the exception of the Ohio and Kentucky State Highway Laboratories. These two Laboratories tested 1,250 samples per employee, while the Georgia State Highway Laboratory tested 1183 which is more than twice the average of all the State Highway Laboratories. In addition to the testing of samples in the Laboratory, personal inspections of quarries, and various manufacturing plants are frequently made by members of the Laboratory Staff and the Laboratory conducts investigations to determine the availability and suitability of local material on the different projects. A culvert investigation which involves a study of the service results of the different types of drainage structures is the greatest single task and the most comprehensive investigational work yet undertaken. A report showing 1928 reratings is now available. The total cost of operating the Laboratory during 1928 including all field work and investigational work, was $24,367.38 or less than two tenths (00.20) of one percent of the State Highway income. Some State Highway Departments spend one lJercent (1.00) of their total income for research alone. 125 TABLE 1>1 ANNUAL LABORATORY REPORT DISTRIBUTION OF EXPENSES 1928 Salaries and Wages ___________________________________ $ Subsistence____________ _____ ______________________ _ Transportation_____________________________________ _ Auto Maintenance_______________________________ _ Laboratory Supplies______ ____________________ _ Office Supplies__________________________________ _ Rent, Heat, Light and Power_ ______________________ _ Freight-Express & Drayage _____________ _ Incidentals___ __________________ ____________________ _ Telegraph-Postage & Telephone__ ____________ _ Traffic counts __________________ ._ __________________ _ Core Drilling__________________ _____________ _ Terredo Investigation___________ _____________ _ TotaL __ ___________ _ Lab.

During the year 1928 we were handicapped in several ways. However, regardless of these we placed over two thousand signs in excess of our work of 1927. Had it not been necessary to discharge one of our experienced foreman and break in an inexperienced man and had it not been for the two terrific storms in August, and had it not been for the forced reduction of our parties on October first, we would have had a much better report to make. But, as stated above our actual work exceeded that of 1927 and likewise all previous years since the organization of this department. We continued to work our parties as heretofore in the southern section in winter and gradually working north as warm weather approaches until they reach the mountains then gradually south as fall and winter set in. Our signs conform in size, shape and color as well as erection to the Standard adopted and recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and the State Highway Officials Association. We feel that some explanation of the various classifications of signs is needed. In the first columns of the accompanying table, is shown "Direction Signs". These signs are made up of one or more boards or slats 4 11x30 11 in size showing the names of cities and towns together with the mileage. Two corners of each board are painted black to form an arrow to point in the proper direction. The background is painted yellow with black letters and figures. It would be an impossibility to show the names of all the small towns and villages in our state, so in order not to show favorites we adopted the policy of showing on these direction signs, only the names of county seats or very important junction points. The name of each county seat is carried on each direction sign, located between that particular county seat and the next county seat in any direction. Only the names of the largest cities are shown on signs at a greater distance than the next county seat. These signs are made of Grade "A" pine dressed on all sides, sanded, primed, given two coats of Enamel and are ready for the field parties to letter and erect. The next sign in the table is the route marker. This is a metal sign 12 "X12" in size, made of blue annealed 20 gauge steel, beaded on all sides, one half inch from edge. They are primed with a special metal primer, given one coat of yellow undercoat then a finishing coat of yellow metal enamel and then striped top and bottom with a 2" black stripe. 128 The Caution signs are 24 11x24", blue annealed 16 gauge steel. These are painted the same as the route markers except they are bordered on four sides. Under the heading of Caution signs is included; school, church, railroad, side road, cross road, turn right, left, curve right, left, stop and some few special ones. For the guidance of travelers through cities and towns we paint on telephone poles the state and U. S. route numbers. These markers are painted sufficiently high to insure visibility above the tops of parked vehicles. Early in 1927 we began placing signs on all bridges, showing the names of rivers, creeks, streams and railroads. The eight hundred odd signs shown as "U. S. Marked Highway Route Markers" are largely renewals. The Superintendent of the Sign Department originated the idea of showing the state and U. S. Route numbers on the same marker. These markers are 24* long and 12" wide. The upper half shows the U. S. Number, the lower half the State Number. Several hundred of these were erected. The remainder of the U. S. Signs were refinished and replaced. The special signs erected by Party "C" are explained in footnote under the table. Only a small number of miles of certerline marking was done by this department. This was due to the fact that the experienced foreman, of the party doing this work was discharged and the new man was unable to get sufficiently experienced with this work before the season closed. However the figure of 204 miles does not nearly represent the number of miles of paved road upon which the center line is marked. A large number of miles was painted and kept painted by the forces working under the Maintenance Engineer of the various divisions. The work of the Sign Department is not finished and will never be finished. It is a pitiful state of affairs that all the people of our state are not educated to the necessity and helpfulness of road signs in the modern times. Signs are continually being stolen, knocked down and disfigured in every conceivable way. Our investigations reveal that the chief maldoers are the school shildren in the rural districts and next to them, the commonly known "tin can tourists" seeking souvenirs. Little do the children and the vandals realize the cost to the state of first erecting these signs and replacing them after their destruction. We seriously recommend that the State Superintendant of Education instruct the Principals and Teachers of all state schools to set aside a few minutes each day to lecture their classes to 129 cooperate instead of hampering us in our effort to protect them as well as the traveling public. We would also like to recommend that a law be enacted prohibiting the erection of advertising signs along the state highways. These eyesores not only distract the attention of the drivers in addition to lessening the effectiveness of official signs but greatly mar the beautiful scenery so abundant throughout our system of highways. 130 SIGN DEPARTMENT .

PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. All purchases are made through a central purchasing department located in the General Office of the Highway Department at East Point, Georgia. Purchases are made upon the approved signed request or requisitions of Division Engineers and other department heads in conformity with the Georgia State law requiring bids on goods to be purchased. All vendors are required to send invoices for goods in duplicate, showing our purchase order number, to the General Office at East Point, where they are checked against our copy of purchase order to see that prices and quantities are the same as those quoted; Also, to see if shipment was made to proper consignee and destination. After this procedure the invoice is forwarded to Division Engineer or Department head where requisition originated for his approval before payment is made There has been keen competition among dealers for the State's business and for that reason coupled with our method of advertising for sealed bids, we enjoy very low prices on all goods purchased. 132 TRAFFIC CENSUS Soon after the completion of the last count of the year in November 1927, we began correspondence with the U.S. Government relative to securing their assistance in a ten year cooperative transportation survey of our system. We had sufficient reason to believe that this cooperation could be secured that we dispensed with the taking of the Traffic Census in February and also in May, thinking that these counts would be useless and that the cost of these two counts would be saved for use in the U. S. Survey. After lengthy correspondence lasting from January to June, we were advised that the U. S. Bureau could not participate due to other research commitments. After it was definitely determined that we could not obtain Federal assistance, we settled down and prepared to make our own Census as in the past, and a count was made in August, our next regular Census month. It will be recalled that during the month of August, south and central Georgia were extremely hard hit by storms. First in the early part of the month was the Gulf storm which interrupted business and travel in the southwest. Then during the latter part of the month, the Hurricane from Florida wreaked havoc in southeast and east Georgia. Plans already having been made, the count was made, regardless, but it was found to be of no real value in determining an average traffic. A count was not made in November, because no counts had been made in February or May (for the reason explained above) and because the count for August was of little real value. 133 ROAD INFORMATION AND MAPS During 1928 the same road information and map service was rendered the traveling public as in the last few years. It is surprising to know how many thousand requests this department receives for routings not only in and through our state, but to very distant points as well. Valuable assistance is rendered in routing heavy moving vans and express trucks. Once each week, this office receives a report on the condition of every road on our system and as many reports between the weekly reports as is necessary to keep this office posted at all times on the actual condition of the entire system. Each month we distribute 6,000 or more of our road condition and detour maps. These maps are distributed free of charge upon request, and may be had at any Highway Department in the United States and in hundreds of Motor Clubs, Garages and filling stations throughout our state and in points far beyond. We have noticed that since the publication of this map for the first time in 1926, several Highway Departments have copied some outstanding features, such as the detour information, most important road laws, signs, etc. We are justly proud of the information on this map, our wide circulation and the usefulness to the thousands of persons in need of official information. Our maps are of course, distributed free of charge, but due to the large number of persons, clubs, garages, filling stations and others on our mailing list, we request each one on the list to furnish us, in stamps, sufficient postage to cover mailing charges only. The maps are sent regardless of whether the receiver feels prompted to furnish postage or not. 124 HIGHWAY MAGAZINE. The name of this magazine is "GEORGIA HIGHWAYS'' It is issued monthly and is recognized as an official publication by the State Highway Board. The magazine is devoted to the interest of the Highways of the State and contains articles by the Editor and by efficient and experienced Engineers and Road Builders throughout the country. The publication is self-supporting due to the number and high class of its advertisements. The magazine has several subscribers but any one can obtain a copy free on request. It is distributed free to the Division Offices of the State and is valued highly by the employees, especially those remote from cities. It is educational and instructive to the employees in reading the different articles by authorities on Road Construction, Maintenance, Engineering and Materials. The map on the cover of the magazine is revised periodically to show the changes and improvements of the roads in this State and it is interesting to compare the mileage of improved roads now with those of a few years back. OGLESBY QUARRY. During and after the close of the World War, road material was so high in price and so scarce that it was considered wise for the Highway Department to invest in a quarry to be operated in connection with road construction. Therefore, such quarry was bought in Elbert County and equipped with the necessary machinery for quarrying and crushing stone of various sizes suitable for the purpose named above. The quarry has proved profitable indirectly, it enabled the Department to get material at the time deliveries were uncertain from other sources and has since proved the means of keeping prices below the average paid by other States for crushed stone. The capacity of the quarry exceeds any in the State for crushing road building stone and it can and does ship stone more promptly in any quantity ordered than others. 135 DISTRIBUTION OF THE "COUNTY FUND" OF THE GASOLINE TAX TO THE VARIOUS COUNTIES IN THE STATE FOR 1926--1927--1928 COUNTY 1926 1927 1928 Appling ____________________ $ Atkinson __________________ _ Bacon _____________________ _ Baker _____________________ _ B a l d w i n ____________________ Banks_____________________ _ Barrow ____________________ _ 1 Bartow ____________________ _ Ben HilL _________________ _ Berrien____________________ _ Bibb ______________________ _ Bleckley___________________ _ Brantley___________________ _ Brooks ____________________ _ Bryan _____________________ _ Bulloch ___________________ _ Burke _____________________ _ Butts ______________________ _ Calhoun ___________________ _ Camden ___________________ _ CampbelL _________________ _ Candler ___________________ _ Carroll ____________________ _ Catoosa ___________________ _ Charlton __________________ _ Chatham__________________ _ Chattahoochee ___________ _ Chattooga_________________ _ Cherokee__________________ _ Clarke_____________________ _ Clay_______________________ _ Clayton ___________________ _ Clinch ____________________ _ Cobb ______________________ _ Coffee_____________________ _ Colquitt___________________ _ Columbia__________________ _ Cook ______________________ _ Coweta ____________________ _ Crawford__________________ _ Crisp______________________ _ Dade ______________________ _ Dawson ___________________ _ Decatur ___________________ _ DeKalb____________________ _ Dodge _____________________ _ Dooly______________________ _ Dougherty_________________ _ Douglas ___________________ _ Early_______________________ I I 16,589.991'$ 8,157.77 9,629.67 3,816.94 11,226.221 7,983.15 7,134.93'1 14,419.57 3,407.88: 12,573.47' 10,477.89 4,665.15 9,604.73 11,650.42 15,105.94 15,396.22 15,991.24 8,341.50 5,762.84 9,604.73 4,989.47 6,685.88 18,161.68 3,617.37 4,914.63 10,502.83 7,509.15 8,906.20 5, 937.47 8,107.89 9,205.58 7,302.31 5,862.64 12,822.94 8, 781.56 15,546.97 8,881.26 5,383.68 16,140.93 11,625.46, 11,151.461 6,012.311 2,644.43 14,319.78, 8,630.341. 9,080.83 8,382.21 8,257.58 4,590.301 7,808.51 136 18,277.64$ 10,542.39 10,955.44 4,446.11 13,105.86/ 8,601.631 8,456.331 16,520.591 3,923.04 15,110.95 12,965.441 6,583.05 10,083.561 13,599.86 18,539.981 18,423.741 18,772.451: 9,181.81 7 ,177. 70'1 12,379.36 5,811.911 7, 787.951 21,126.281 4,213.63 1 5,579.43 12,234.061 8,709.37 10,287.08 9,061.18 9,153. 75 10,903.221 8,485.38, 6, 741.81 14,894.47 9,909.30 17,377.611 10,083.66 6,247.801 18,685.291 13,416.691 12,960.561 7,291.34 3,051.24 15,604.97 11,071.681 11,327.01 10,199.901 10,199.90 5,463.191 9,095.63 18,723.67 13,964.73 10,550.44 4,757.62 13,225.23 9,071.91 9,977.55 18,452.20 4,131.17 15,637.70 14,629.71 8,759.25 9,626.71 20,168.38 19,388.30 19,513.19 23,438.11 9,655.82 7,477.33 12,887.97 6,149.59 8,251.89 22,332.78 4,359.53 5,951.59 12,945.81 11,071.17 10,495.22 11,365.58 9,148.43 11,530.05 8,914.58 13,375.34 15,883.59 10,345.91 18,715.57 10,593.79 7,768.99 21,217.80 13,912.54 13,146.48 8,505.17 3,243.55 17,079.71 11,576.83 13,765.19 13,182.73 10,211.24 5,758.97 9,417.89 DISTRIBUTION OF THE "COUNTY FUND" OF THE GASOLINE TAX TO THE VARIOUS COUNTIES IN THE STATE FOR 1926--1926--1927--1928 COUNTY 1926 1927 1928 Echols ______________________ $ Effingham ________________ _ Elbert _____________________ _ EmanueL _________________ _ Evans _____________________ _ Fannin____________________ _ Fayette____________________ _ Floyd______________________ _ Forsyth ___________________ _ Franklin __________________ _ Fulton ____________________ _ Gilmer ____________________ _ Glascock __________________ _ Glynn_____________________ _ Gordon ___________________ _ Grady _____________________ _ Greene____________________ _ Gwinnett __________________ _ Habersham________________ _ IIall _______________________ _ IIancock___________________ _ IIaralson __________________ _ IIarris _____________________ _ IIart _______________________ _ IIeard _____________________ _ IIenry _____________________ _ IIouston __________________ _ Irwin ______________________ _ Jackson___________________ _ Jasper_ ____________________ _ Jeff Davis _________________ _ Jefferson __________________ _ Jenkins ___________________ _ Johnson __________________ _ Jones _____________________ _ Lamar_____________________ _ Lanier _____________________ _ Laurens ___________________ _ Lee ________________________ _ Liberty____________________ _ Lincoln____________________ _ Long ______________________ _ Lowndes __________________ _ Lumpkin __________________ _ Macon _____________________ _ Madison___________________ _ Marion ____________________ _ McDuffie_. ________________ _ Mcintosh __________________ _ Meriwether ________________ _ I 4,590.30$ 8,806.43!

(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 involnd 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. SECTION 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. SECTIO='J 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 apprmal of this Act, is unsafe or inadequate to serve the traffic for which it was constructed, then the department, when State roads be involved, or the board, when county public roads be invohed, 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. SECTION 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 1P4 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 superstructures of all underpasses and overpasses located within the limits of its right-of-way. SECTION 10. The railroad company or companies involved 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 creosoted 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 involving 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 involved in such litigation, subject to final judgment of the court as to all questions involved in such litigation. SECTION 12. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent 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 involved, 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 involved in the separation of crossings at grade, that portion of the cost of construction and maintenance which this Act provides shall be Hl5 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. SECTION 15. All existing grade-crossings replaced by gradeseparation structures, or avoided 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 provisions 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 $2,000,000.00 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 j or for 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 re(1uirement 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 are hereby repealed. Approved August 23, 1927. WATER-POWER; CONDEMNATION OF HIGHWAYS. No. 367.
