T'h n ty-Fir st Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

History of the Organization of the Highway Department
The State Highway Department of Georgia was created by Act of the General Assembly, August 16, 1916, and a Highway Commission was appointed. This Commission was composed of three members of the Prison Commission, together with the State Geologist, the Dean of the College of Civil Engineering of the University of Georgia, and the Professor of Highway Engineering at the Georgia School of Technology. This Commission served until the reorganization of the Highway Department by Act of the General Assembly, approved August 18, 1919.
State Highway Board Created in 1919
The Act of 1919 provided that the State Highway Department of Georgia, reorganized and reconstructed, should be managed and controlled by the State Highway Board, which should consist of three members appointed by the Governor, one from each of the three divisions of the State. The boundaries of each division were set out. The term of office of initial appointees was to be two, four and six years, respectively, after which each new member was to serve six years. The members received compensation on a daily basis while engaged in the performance of their duties.
New Highway Board Created in 1937
By an Act of the General Assembly approved March 3, 1937, the State Highway Board was abolished and the terms and tenure of office of the members were terminated. Another Act was passed and approved on the same day, creating a new State Highway Board to consist of three members to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The members were to be selected from different sections of the State and the first three appointments were for terms of two, four and six years, respectively, after which the terms were to be for six years. From the beginning, the Chairman was a full-time officer, and an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 16, 1938, provided that the other two members should also devote their full time to the performance of the duties of their office.

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Another Highway Board Created in 1.941

The Act of March 3, 1937, was repealed and the terms of office of the members of the State Highway Board were terminated by an Act of the General Assembly approved January 30, 1941. The latter Act provided that the State Highway Department should be managed and controlled by a State Highway Board composed of a Chairman and two members, to be appointed by the Governor from different sections of the State. The members were to serve during the term of the Governor by whom they were appointed. The Chairman was a full-time officer and the Act provided that the other two members should receive compensation on a daily basis while engaged in the performance of their duties.

Reorganization of 1943
The General Assembly of 1943 passed an Act, approved March 17, 1943, repealing the Act of January 30, 1941, and abolishing the State Highway Board. The 1943 Act provided that the State Highway Department should be managed and controlled by a State Highway Director, and created a State Highway Commission as an advisory body with whom the State Highway Director should from time to time consult regarding the administration of the affairs of the State Highway Department. The Act also created the office of Treasurer of the State Highway Department. All of these officers were appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The State Highway Director and Treasurer of the State Highway Department were full-time officers and served at the pleasure of the Governor. The part-time State Highway Commissioners were appointed for a term of four years, to be concurrent with the term of the Governor. One Commissioner was appointed from each of the ten Congressional Districts and two from the State at large. One member of the State Highway Commission was designated by the Governor to be Chairman, one member was designated as Vice-Chairman and another as Secretary.

Reorganization of 1950
The Act of March 17, 1943, was repealed by an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 2, 1950 (Act No. 536, Georgia Laws 1950, pp. 62-72) and a further reorganization of the State Highway Department was effected. The 1950 Act

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

11

abolished the State Highway Commission and the position of the State Highway Director, and created a State Highway Board, composed of three members, who were full-time officers. The members were elected by the General Assembly; one from the Southern Highway District, composed of the First, Second and Eighth Congressional Districts; one from the Central Highway District, composed of the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Tenth Congressional Districts; and one from the Northern Highway District, composed of the Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Congressional Districts. By an Act approved March 25, 1958, the counties of Elbert, Franklin, Hart and Madison, in the Tenth Congressional District, were removed from the Central Highway District and placed in the Northern Highway District.

Present State Highway Board
The 1950 Act was amended by an Act of the General Assembly, approved January 25, 1963 (Act No.1, Georgia Laws 1963, pp. 3-10). This amendment provides for a State Highway Board composed of ten members, with a Chairman and Vice-Chairman to be elected by the Board from their own number and to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Act does not contain any express enumeration of the duties of the Chairman of the Board, The Board shall meet in regular session one day in each month and at such other special meetings as may be called by the Director of the State Highway Department, or a majority of the members of the Board from time to time.
The State Highway Board is composed of one member from each of the ten Congressional Districts. The initial appointment of members of the Board was made by the Governor in April 1963 from the Congressional Districts as they existed at that time. Two members each were appointed for terms of one, two, three, four and five years. The two members whose terms expired in 1964 were reappointed by the Governor for five-year terms. Beginning in 1965, the member of the Board from each Congressional District shall be elected for a five-year term by a majority vote of the members of the House of Representatives and Senate from the counties and Senatorial Districts, embraced or partially embraced within such Congressional District, meeting in caucus.

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Director of State Highway Department
The 1963 Amendment (Act No.1, Georgia Laws 1963, pp. 310) created the office of Director of the State Highway Department, who shall be a full-time official of the State and who shall be the chief administrative officer of the State Highway Department, with full authority to execute contracts and all other undertakings. The Director shall have custody, control and supervision of the expenditures of all State Highway funds. He also has the power and responsibility for the employment of personnel. The State Highway Board has the power and authority to formulate broad highway policy and the Director has power and authority over the operations of the State Highway Department.

The first Director of the State Highway Department under the 1963 Act was appointed by the Governor to serve at the pleasure of the Governor. Beginning in 1967 and in subsequent years, the Director shall be elected by a majority vote of the members of the State Highway Board present and voting, and shall serve for a term of four years and until his successor is elected by the Board and qualified.

The aforementioned Act No.1, approved January 25, 1963, amended Code Section 95-1503, so that said section provides that:

"The State Highway Department shall consist of the State Highway Board, the Director of the State Highway Department and such subordinate employees including the chief engineer and other assistants as may be deemed necessary by the Director."

To implement this resolution, the Director of the Highway Department on August 21, 1964, appointed a committee of four top administrative engineers of the Highway Department, the Treasurer of the Highway Department, and the Assistant Attorney General assigned to the Highway Department. Representing the contracting industry, the Executive Secretary of the Georgia Highway Contractors' Association and the Manager of the Heavy Division of the Associated General Contractors were requested to assist in the preparation of the rules and regulations. After several weeks of intensive effort, the above committee produced the document which is now the Rules and Regulations Governing the Prequalificaiion of Contractors. On October 15, 1964, the State Highway Board, in regular session, unanimously approved and adopted these rules and regulations and instructed the Department to implement the new system at the letting scheduled for June 4, 1965.

The rules adopted by the Highway Board provide that a Prequalification Committee be established to consist of one engineer to be appointed by the State Highway Engineer, one engineer from the Division of Construction, and one fiscal officer to be appointed by the Treasurer of the State Highway Department. This committee would elect its own chairman and would be responsible for all the details of administering the system of contractors' prequalification. In addition, a Board of Review was established consisting of the State Highway Engineer, the State Highway Construction Engineer, and the Treasurer of the State Highway Department. This Board of Review would function as an appeals board to whom the contractors could appeal any decision made by the Prequalification Committee with which they disagreed. During the existence of the Prequalification Committee, only one of its decisions has been appealed to the Board of Review and the action of the Committee was sustained.

In the period between October 16, 1964 and June 4, 1965, the Prequalification Committee secured from the Resident Engineers, on forms prescribed by the regulations, reports of performance on every contract completed by each contractor in the three years previous to January 1, 1965. From these per.

formance reports, each contractor was given an average ability rating. In addition, each contractor then appearing on the Highway Department's list of approved bidders was furnished application, questionnaire and financial statement forms as prescribed by the regulations with which to submit his application for prequalification under the new rules and regulations.
The system of prequalification was placed in operation in June 1965, and has been functioning successfully. As the need arose, minor changes have been made in the rules and regulations originally promulgated, with each such revision being individually approved by resolution of the State Highway Board. The system has been effective and has been helpful to both the engineers in the Highway Department and the contractors. There are at present 270 contractors qualified to bid in Georgia highway lettings under these rules and regulations. No bids are accepted from contractors who are not so qualified except on small contracts for minor specialty type construction, if such exception has been made with the approval of the Highway Board.

U. S. Bureau of Public Roads

The Bureau of Public Roads represents the Federal Government in matters relating to highways. Its principal functions are administration of Federal aid to the States for highway construction, road building in Federal areas, and highway research. During the period covered by this report, the Bureau of Public Roads was under the U. S. Department of Commerce, but as outlined in the last paragraph of this section, early in 1967 it will be transferred to the newly created Department of Transportation.
The regional office of the Bureau of Public Roads, through which the work in Georgia and six other Southeastern States is cleared, is in charge of Harry E. Stark, Regional Engineer, at 1720 Peachtree Road, N.W., Atlanta.

Division Office
The activities for the State of Georgia are under the direction of B. A. Scott, Division Engineer, whose office is located at 900 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta. The Bureau of Public Roads maintains close cooperation with the State Highway Department on all matters pertaining to review and approval of Federal-aid projects on the Federal-aid Interstate, Primary and Secondary Highway Systems, as well as the Forest Highway System.
The division office staff as of January 1, 1967, is as follows:
B. A. SCOTT, Division Engineer JOHN T. FOWLER, Assistant Division Engineei'-
Engineering COO1'dinat01' ROGER D. LEWIS, District Engineer HERMAN L. GAINES, District Enoineer FRANCIS P. GOULD, Bridge Engineer JAMES B. COOLEY, Plannina and Research. Engineer GEORGE M. SECKINGER, Administrative Manager JOHN A. WILSON, Right-oj-Way Officer GEORGE M. ROPER, Aiuiitor-in-Charqe
These trained engineers and specialists advise with State Highway Department engineers on details in connection with route locations, surveys, design, construction and maintenance of Federal-aid projects. Frequent inspections are made of construe-

24

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

tion work and the maintenance condition of all projects involving Federal participation.
The basic facts developed through cooperative traffic, engineering and economic studies by the Division of Highway Planning and the Bureau of Public Roads are utilized in the preparation and review of highway programs, designation of Primary, Secondary and Forest Highway Systems, and to determine the priorities and type of highway improvements.
The Highway Department desires to express its sincere appreciation for the cooperation and services rendered by the Bureau of Public Roads.

History of Organization
This agency was created in 1893 as the Office of Road Inquiry in the Department of Agriculture and later the name was changed to Bureau of Public Roads. Under Federal Reorganization Plan No.1, the personnel and functions of the Bureau of Public Roads were transferred to the Federal Works Agency and the name of the organization was changed to Public Roads Administration, effective July 1, 1939.
Under Reorganization Plan No.7, effective August 20, 1949, the Public Roads Administration was transferred to the Department of Commerce and the organization was given again the name of Bureau of Public Roads.
The Department of Transportation was created by Act of Congress approved October 15, 1966, and when that department is activated early in 1967 the Bureau of Public Roads will become a part of the Federal Highway Administration under the Department of Transportation.

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

l'he Federal-Aid Highway Program
The Federal-Aid Road Act of July 11, 1916, launched the Federal Government on a nationwide cooperative plan of highway improvement. A vital feature of this first Act was that the Federal Government was " ... authorized to cooperate with the States through their respective State highway departments ..."
Since the Federal Highway Act of 1921 there has been a continuation of the cooperative Federal-aid Plan with initiative in the selection of the systems and the selection of projects resting with the State highway departments. The roads on the several Federal-aid highway systems are under the jurisdiction and control of the State or its political subdivisions and there are no Federal highways except those in Federal lands.
Apportionments
Federal funds for the construction and improvement of roads on the Federal-aid highway systems are authorized to be appropriated by Acts of Congress and the amount to be apportioned to each State is determined by the Secretary of Commerce in accordance with the formulas specified by Congressional Acts.
The following section of this report contains information as to the class of roads included in each of the Federal-aid highway systems, and a tabulation at the end of this section shows the amounts of the Federal-aid apportionments to Georgia since the first appropriation in 1917.
The Federal-aid Primary funds were apportioned among the several States on the basis of one-third according to area, onethird according to population, and one-third according to the mileage of rural delivery and star mail routes.
The Federal-aid Secondary funds were apportioned on the basis of one-third according to area, one-third according to rural population, and one-third according to mileage of rural delivery and star mail routes.
The Urban Highway funds were apportioned according to the population of municipalities and other urban places of 5,000 or more population.

26

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Funds for the improvement of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways were first authorized in the FederalAid Highway Act of 1952, for the fiscal years 1954 and 1955, and were apportioned on the same basis as outlined above for Federal-aid Primary funds. The Interstate funds for the fiscal years 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959 were apportioned on the basis of one-half according to population and one-half in the same manner as the Primary funds. The Interstate funds for the fiscal years 1960 through 1968 were apportioned among the several States in the ratio which the estimated cost of completing the Interstate System in each State bears to the sum of the estimated cost of completing the Interstate System in all of the States, and the funds for the years 1969 through 1972 will be apportioned on the same basis. These cost estimates are to be made periodically by the Bureau of Public Roads and the State highway departments.

It is required that all Primary, Secondary and Urban funds be matched by the State on a 50-50 basis, except that 10 per cent of the sum authorized for each class of projects may be expended on railway-highway projects without State matching. This exception applies also to Interstate funds.

The Interstate funds for the years 1954 and 1955 were matched on a 50-50 basis. For the year 1956 and part of the funds for the year 1957, the matching was on the basis of 60 per cent Federal and 40 per cent State. The additional 1957 funds and those for the years 1958 through 1972 are to be matched on the basis of 90 per cent Federal and 10 per cent State.

The funds are made available for a period of two years after the close of the fiscal year for which authorized. The funds are deemed to have been expended when placed under formal project agreements; i.e., after bids have been opened and the Bureau of Public Roads has concurred in the award of the contract, and the project agreement has been executed by the State Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads.

Diversion of Road-User Revenue
The policy that all road-user revenues should be used for highway purposes was first set forth by Congress in Section 12 of the Hayden-Cartwright Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 995) and

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

27

was reaffirmed in Title 23, United States Code, Section 126, approved August 27, 1958, as follows:
"(a) Since it is unfair and unjust to tax motor-vehicle transportation unless the proceeds of such taxation are applied to the construction, improvement, or maintenance of highways, after June 30, 1935, Federal aid for highway construction shall be extended only to those States that use at least the amounts provided by law on June 18, 1934, for such purposes in each State from State motor vehicle registration fees, licenses, gasoline taxes, and other special taxes on motor-vehicle owners and operators of all kinds for the construction, improvement, and maintenance of highways and administrative expenses in connection therewith, including the retirement of bonds for the payment of which such revenues have been pledged, and for no other purposes, under such regulations as the Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate from time to time.
"(b) In no case shall the provisions of this section operate to deprive any State of more than one-third of the entire apportionment authorized under this chapter to which that State would be entitled in any fiscal year. The amount of any reduction in a State's apportionment shall be reapportioned in the same manner as any other unexpended balance at the end of the period during which it otherwise would be available in accordance with section 104 (b) of this title."

Programming and Subsequent Steps
Following apportionment of a year's authorization, the State Highway Department submits programs of proposed projects for improvement with the funds. After acceptance of the program by the Bureau of Public Roads, the State Highway Department acquires the right-of-way, makes detailed surveys for each project, and prepares plans, specifications, and final cost estimates. These must be approved by the Public Roads Division Engineer. The Highway Department then advertises for bids and awards a contract for construction, subject to Public Roads concurrence. The day-to-day supervision of the work is performed by Highway Department engineers, but a Public Roads engineer makes periodic inspection on the site.
The Bureau of Public Roads does not prescribe detailed design standards and construction specifications for Federal-aid work.

28

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

The general policies of design standards adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials are used by most of the States and they are endorsed by Public Roads. Details of design and construction specifications are prepared by each State to fit its individual needs, and are subject to review and approval by Public Roads.

1954 Secondary Road Plan
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 provided that the Secretary of Commerce may, upon the request of any State, discharge his responsibility relative to plans, specifications, estimates, surveys, contract awards, design, inspection, and construction of Federal-aid Secondary road projects by his receiving and approving a certified statement by the State Highway Department setting forth that the plans, design, and construction for such projects are in accord with the standards and procedures of the State applicable to projects in this category approved by him. The State Highway Department of Georgia put this plan into effect on November 1, 1954, and operations under the plan have proven very satisfactory.
It is sti11 necessary that approval be obtained from the Bureau of Public Roads covering additions, extensions and changes in the Federal-aid Secondary System. But after a project has been approved in the program, the Highway Department prepares the plans, awards the contracts, and supervises the construction without any further approval from the Bureau of Public Roads. Copies of the contract are filed with the Bureau of Public Roads and a final inspection is made by them after construction has been completed. The audit and reimbursement for the Federal share of the cost of the project is handled in the usual manner.

Public Hearings
Public hearings are required to be held by the State Highway Department on any Federal-aid highway project involving the bypassing of, or going through, any city, town, or village, either incorporated or unincorporated and the economic effects of such a location are considered by the Highway Department in determining the final location of the project. Also, on all Interstate System projects, public hearings are held at a convenient location for the purpose of enabling persons in rural areas through or contiguous to whose property the highway will pass to ex-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

29

press any objections they may have to the proposed location of such highway. Transcripts of all public hearings are made and the State Highway Department gives careful consideration to all facts and recommendations of local citizens brought out in the hearing, in the selection of the final location of the highway. A copy of the transcript of all public hearings is forwarded to the Bureau of Public Roads.

Use of Federal-Aid Funds
Preliminary engineering and construction engineering, surveys, plans, and right-of-way costs are eligible for Federal participation, as well as the cost of construction. That part of the cost of relocation of utility facilities necessitated by the construction of a Federal-aid project which is accepted for State participation is eligible for Federal participation. Federal funds may also be used for archaeological and paleontological salvage when considered necessary in connection with the construction of a project. The maintenance of highways and bridges constructed with Federal-aid funds is the responsibility of the State and Federal funds may not be used for this purpose. As outlined later in this section, 1% per cent of the Federal-aid apportionments may be used only for research and planning, including traffic studies and long-range planning.
Federal-aid funds may be used to retire bonds issued by the States, counties, cities, or other political subdivisions where proceeds of such bonds are used to accelerate the construction of toll-free facilities on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways or the Federal-aid Primary System, provided the work is done under plans approved in advance by the Federal Highway Administrator.

Highway Plannin.q
Since 1934, the Federal-Aid Highway Acts have authorized the use of 11A~ per cent of the Federal-aid apportionment to any State for engineering and economic investigations and highway research. The fact-finding studies which were inaugurated under this provision have been carried on in Georgia, since 1937, by the Division of Highway Planning. The wisdom of this provision has been amply demonstrated, and the continuing highway planning surveys of the various States have provided the

30

Thirty-First Report, State Highway De p art.ment of Georgia

facts necessary for determining highway needs of the future. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 provides that the 1% per cent funds shall be available for expenditure only for planning and research.

Federal-Aid Fiscal Procedure
Federal funds for highway work are not turned over to the State in advance of construction. Instead, they are paid to the State in the form of reimbursement during and after the period that the work is in progress. They are paid only on projects for which the plans have been approved previously by the Bureau of Public Roads and for which the work is conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements established by the Bureau of Public Roads. The State Highway Department makes payments from State funds to the contractor on monthly estimates of the dollar value of work that has been accomplished on a project. The State Highway Department then submits monthly progress vouchers for the work accomplished on which the Federal Government makes prompt payment.
A project is reported completed when the major elements of construction are done and the road or bridge is open to traffic. To secure final reimbursement the State Highway Department then submits a final voucher to the Bureau of Public Roads indicating the various construction items and claiming the Federal portion due but not paid on progress vouchers. Final reimbursement is not made until the project has been finally inspected and a determination made by field engineers of the Bureau of Public Roads that it was constructed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and estimates, and a detail audit made of the claim by a Federal auditor.
Upon request of the State Highway Department, Federal funds will be advanced by the Bureau of Public Roads for the acquisition of rights-of-way but it is required that actual construction of a road on such rights-of-way be completed within a period not exceeding seven years following the fiscal year in which such request is made. Federal participation in the cost of rights-ofway acquired under this procedure shall not exceed the Federal pro rata share applicable to the class of funds from which the Federal reimbursement is made.

Thirty-First Report, State Hi"hway Department of Georgia

Highway Systems
Classification of highways is made necessary by the several plans of highway financing that have been developed during the years by the State and Federal Governments. Each plan of financing limits itself to particular highways or kinds of highways and thus establishes a new classification. It is possible for a highway to be on two or more systems. For example, a road may be on both the State Highway System and the Federalaid Primary System; or a road may be classified as a County Road, a Post Road, and a Federal-aid Secondary Road. The classes of highways in Georgia based on methods of financing are as follows:
1. National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
2. Federal-aid Primary System.
3. Federal-aid Secondary System.
4. Forest Highway System.
5. State Highway System.
6. Post Roads.
7. County Roads.
The System of United States Numbered Highways (such as U. S. 41) was established for reasons other than financing, as will be explained under that heading.
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways
The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, authorized in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944 and selected by the State highway departments in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads, was approved on August 2, 1947. Additional routes into, through, and around urban areas were approved on September 15, 1955. An additional 1,000 miles, authorized in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, was approved on October 17, 1957, bringing the total mileage of the system to 41,000 miles.

36

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

The Interstate System consists of routes of highest importance to the nation, which connect the principal metropolitan areas, cities and industrial centers, serve the national defense, and connect at suitable border points with routes of continental importance in the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mexico. The Interstate System is a part of the Federal-aid Primary System, as all Interstate routes not already included in the Primary System were automatically added thereto by law.
No funds other than the regular Primary and Urban funds had been appropriated for the development of the Interstate System prior to the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952, but that Act and subsequent Acts authorized separate and additional appropriations for the purpose of expediting the construction, reconstruction and improvement of the Interstate System. Information as to the financing of these improvements has been given in the preceding section of this report.
The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in Georgia will consist of approximately 1,105.8 miles when completed. The accompanying map shows the control points included in the original approval of the system in Georgia and the general direction of the routes.

Federal-Aid Primaru System
The Federal-aid Primary System consists of routes of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and other important routes with their urban extensions, including important loops, belt highways and spurs. This system was first designated under authority of the Federal Highway Act of 1921 and the routes were selected by mutual agreement between the State highway departments and the Bureau of Public Roads. Additions, revisions and changes in the routes have been made during the intervening years as conditions justified, and studies continue to be made so that the system will contain the routes of greatest importance, within the mileage limitation fixed by law.
The system is limited to seven per cent of the 1921 total highway mileage in the State, except that in addition the law permits, without charge against the seven per cent limitation, mileage within Federal reservations, mileage within designated urban areas, and mileage of Interstate routes that were not a part of the Primary System prior to their designation as Interstate

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

37

routes. Permissible system mileage may be increased by increments of one per cent of the 1921 total highway mileage whenever provision has been made for the completion and maintenance of 90 per cent of the State's entire system. The system may be considered as meeting the 90 per cent completion requirement if 90 per cent of the miles has been improved to provide right-of-way, geometric design, surface, base and subgrade, and structures consistent with requirements for traffic service. The original mileage eligible for inclusion in the Federal-aid Primary System in Georgia was 5,662 miles, based on seven per cent of 80,892 miles. On June 23, 1939, a one per cent increment of 808.9 miles was approved, and another increment of one per cent was approved on August 19, 1940, so that the present total permissible mileage is 7,279.8 miles.
The designated Federal-aid Primary System in Georgia as of June 30, 1966, comprised 7,935.2 miles in rural areas, 869.5 miles within established urban areas, and 261.7 miles within Federal reservations, or a total of 9,066.4 miles. This total includes 1,105.8 miles of the Interstate System, of which 677.4 miles are projected.

Federal-aid Secondary System
The Federal-Aid Highway Acts of 1936 and 1944 provided for the selection and designation of a system of principal secondary and feeder roads, including farm-to-market roads, rural mail routes, and school-bus routes, but not limited to roads of these specific descriptions. These roads are selected by the State Highway Department in cooperation with the county commissioners and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads, and are the only roads on which Federal-aid Secondary funds may be expended. The approved system as of June 30, 1966, contained 19,985 miles, of which 8,640.4 miles were also on the State Highway System.
The Federal-aid Secondary System may be located both in rural and urban areas, but any extension of the system into urban areas of 5,000 or more population shall be subject to the condition that such extension pass through the urban area or connect with another Federal-aid system within the urban area. Urban boundaries have been established by the State Highway Department and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads for all cities

38

'Th.irty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

having a population of 5,000 or more, according to the census of 1960. A map showing the urban boundaries has been forwarded to the mayor of each city, and to the county commissioners of the county in which the city is located. Extensions of Federal-aid Secondary routes through urban areas of 5,000 or more population are included in the total mileage of the Secondary System, and such extensions are eligible for improvement with Federalaid Secondary funds or Federal-aid Urban funds.

Forest Highwny System

Forest highways are those forest roads wholly or partly within, adjoining, or adjacent to and serving the national forests that are of primary importance to the State, counties or communities, and that have been selected and designated by the Federal Highway Administrator of the Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the Chief of the Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture as constituent parts of the Forest Highway System. It is not a thoroughly connected system, but is composed of individual and frequently separated routes, generally of short length. Forest Highways are classified as follows:

Class 1. On the Federal-aid Primary System. Class 2. On the Federal-aid Secondary System. Class 3. Other Forest Highways.

The mileage of the Forest High way System in Georgia as of June 30, 1966, was as follows:

Class 1

166.4 miles

Class 2

.... 200.2 miles

Class 3

27.8 miles

Total

394.4 miles

The Forest Highway System may be increased or decreased in mileage when the proposed modifications have been jointly agreed upon and recommended by the State Highway Department, the Regional Forester, the Division Engineer and the Regional Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, and approved

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

39

by the Federal Highway Administrator and the Chief of the Forest Service. Funds for the construction of Forest Highways are provided by Congressional appropriation and are usually included in the same Act as other Federal-aid Highway funds. The funds are prorated and apportioned among the several States according to the area and value of the national forests, and the construction work is supervised by the Regional Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads.

State Highway System
Roads on the State Highway System are located, constructed, improved and maintained by the State Highway Department. The original system of 4,800 miles was established under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of Georgia, approved August 18, 1919. This Act provided that the State Highway Board should designate the system of interconnecting county-seat public roads as State-aid Roads. An amendment of 1921 increased the limit to 5,500 miles, an amendment of 1925 increased it to 6,300 miles, and other increases were made by amendments passed in 1929 and 1933. An Act approved February 12, 1938, gave the State Highway Board the right and authority to designate any public road in the State as a State-aid Road, with no limitation by statute as to the mileage of the State Highway System.
An Act of the General Assembly, approved March 17, 1943, which abolished the State Highway Board and created a State Highway Department under a State Highway Director, and a State Highway Commission, authorized and empowered the State Highway Director to place on the State Highway System any roads he deemed necessary to the best interest of the State, when approved by a majority of the State Highway Commission, by first giving written notice to the county road authorities concerned thirty days prior to such action. This Act of March 17, 1943, was repealed by an Act of the General Assembly, approved February 2, 1950.
The Act of February 2, 1950, as amended, provides that the Director of the State Highway Department shall have the right to substitute, relocate, and abandon any or all of the State Highway System mileage in building new roads or bridges or in improving the State Highway System roads and bridges, keeping

40

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

in view only the control points as shown by the present State Highway System. The Act provides that the Director shall confer with the ordinary or county commissioners concerned, as the case may be, and give due consideration to their wishes in the relocation, resurveying, substitution and abandonment of roads, but in case of disagreement the judgment of the Director shall prevail.
The State Highway System contained 17,117.1 miles as of June 30, 1966, of which 16,728.6 miles, or 97.7 per cent, were paved.

Post Roads
All rural roads over which United States mail is carried are postal routes; however, in Georgia only such roads that are not on the State Highway System are classified as Post Roads. The Act of 1937 which authorized the expenditure of State funds for the construction of Post Roads, also authorized the State Highway Department to construct farm-to-market roads, so that generally the term "Post Roads" is applied to all public roads in Georgia not on the State Highway System.
Post Roads and farm-to-market roads may be constructed by the State Highway Department to the extent that funds are made available, but the construction and maintenance of such roads are primarily the responsibility of the counties. There are 71,021.6 miles of Post Roads and farm-to-market roads in Georgia not on the State Highway System. All of these roads are classified also as County Roads, inasmuch as they are under the control and jurisdiction of the counties.

County Roads
All rural roads in the State not on the State Highway System nor within Federal or State reservations are classified as County Roads. The counties are responsible for the construction and maintenance of these roads; although, as stated above, the State Highway Department undertakes to construct as many of them as possible with Federal-aid Secondary funds and State funds. The county commissioners (or ordinary in counties having no commissioners) are authorized to open and locate new roads. There are 71,021.6 miles of County Roads, including roads in the State parks, national forests, and State reservations. These are

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

41

classified also as Post Roads and farm-to-market roads and include 11,194.8 miles on the Federal-aid Secondary System.

United States Numbered Highways
In 1926, the American Association of State Highway Officials (being composed of all the State Highway Departments and the Bureau of Public Roads of the Federal Government) selected a limited system of State roads to carry continuous numbers across the country so as to facilitate travel on the main interstate lines, over the shortest routes and the best roads. These roads are designated by the use of the United States shield as the insignia, and are commonly referred to as U. S. Routes or U. S. Numbered Highways. The establishment of a U. S. number as a guide for interstate travel over certain roads has no connection with Federal control or the designation of Federal funds for road construction and, therefore, the U. S. Highway numbers should not be confused with route numbers assigned to the Federal-aid Highway System. The U. S. numbers may recognize a State road which has been constructed entirely by the use of State funds.
Additions, changes, extensions, revisions or reductions in the U. S. Numbered System are made by the Executive Committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials, after consulting with the Highway Department of the States affected. The established policies of the Executive Committee provide that no additional road shall be added to the U. S. Numbered System, and no existing U. S. road shall be extended except where there is a definite showing of an adequately improved highway carrying an established and necessary line of interstate traffic not otherwise provided for by existing U. S. routes and for which traffic adequate service cannot be provided by State route numbers.
Extension of present U. S. numbered routes may be made only when the proposed extension is in the general direction of the present route. Proposed extensions shall not be made when, to do so, it is necessary to duplicate U. S. routes already established, unless the duplication is for a short distance and the routes then diverge, ending in a different terminal point. Also, no new U. S. route located wholly in one State may be established and no new divided numbers shall be adopted.

Measurement and Record of Public Roads
Act No. 56 of the General Assembly, approved February 5, 1951, provides that the State Highway Department shall keep a record as accurate and up-to-date as is reasonably possible of all roads and bridges in the State. This record shall include the mileage of all roads and bridges on the various county road systems that are being maintained by the counties and the mileage of all roads and bridges which are a part of the State Highway System and are being maintained by the State Highway Department. The record shall show the mileage of roads in each county that is paved and unpaved, and such other information as to the condition, status, type and use as deemed necessary for sound long-range planning of construction and maintenance.
Measurement of Roads
The Act authorized the State Highway Board to employ personnel to go into the counties to inspect and measure the public roads and gather the information necessary for the compilation of the above records. The Highway Board directed the Division of Highway Planning to maintain the required records and to make the measurement of public roads in each county. The work was completed in all counties in 1954.
The legislative Act provides that not more than every four years the county road authorities may request an official inspection and measurement of the roads in the county, under the uniform rules and regulations of the Highway Department. Such re-measurement in all counties was completed in 1961, and a second re-measurement in all counties was finished in 1966.

State Toll Bridge Authority
The State Toll Bridge Authority was created by an Act of the General Assembly, approved March 2, 1953, as a body corporate and politic and an instrumentality and public corporation of the State of Georgia. The purpose of the Authority is to construct bridges on the State Highway System to be financed by the issuance of revenue bonds of the Authority secured by the revenue to be received from tolls.

Membership
An Act approved April 2, 1963, provides that the members of the Authority shall be ex officio the Governor, the Director of the State Highway Department and the State Budget Officer as a separate and distinct duty for which they shall receive no additional compensation. All members of the Authority shall be entitled to all actual expenses necessarily incurred while in the performance of their duties on behalf of the Authority.

Tolls
For the purpose of earning sufficient revenues to make possible the financing of the construction of the projects of the Authority with revenue bonds, the Authority is authorized and empowered to collect tolls on each project which it shall cause to be constructed. When the bonds issued for a particular bridge have been paid in full, the tolls shall cease and the bridge shall become a part of the State Highway System and thereafter be maintained by the State Highway Department.

Bonds
The Authority is authorized to issue negotiable revenue bonds, to mature within 40 years, and to be paid solely from tolls and other revenues from the bridges to be constructed from the proceeds of the bonds. The bonds and income thereof are exempt from all taxation within the State. The bonds shall not constitute a debt of the State of Georgia or a pledge of the faith and credit of the State.

ARTHUR K. BOLTON The Attorney General

RICHARD L. CHAMBERS Assistant Attorney General
Special Attorney for the State Highway Department

The Attorney General has the duty and responsibility of furnishing legal advice to, and representation of, all the departments of the State Government. By statute, one Assistant Attorney General shall serve the State Highway Department as its Special Attorney.
The Legal Divison consists of the Attorney General, the Special Assistant Attorney General, and other personnel of State Law Department assigned and designated to represent the State Highway Department.

Litigation
Condemnation Cases. During the biennium approximately 772 condemnation cases were filed in the name of State Highway Department 01' in which the Department was financially interested. Cases disposed of were as follows:

Our staff is assisted by County and/or City Attorneys in condemnation cases with direct supervision from this office where it is deemed to be to the best interest of the State.

66

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Damage Suits. During the biennium approximately 106 damage suits were filed wherein the State Highway Department was called upon to defend. These suits on State-aid roads are in such cases where plaintiffs claim damages from drainage water, changes in access, or grade of a road, and other causes whereby depreciation in market value of property is alleged.
Injunctions. Approximately 52 injunction cases were filed during the period. Most of these were encroachment cases whereby we sought to enjoin defendants from encroaching on the rights-of-way. We also defend many suits where the State Highway Department and contractors are enjoined for various reasons.
Suits on Contract. During the biennium there were six lawsuits by and against highway contractors. These are very involved cases and often will take a minimum of one week to try such cases, plus months of preparation and negotiations.
Tort Actions. Eighteen cases were filed and processed for State Highway Department for damages to State-owned property.
Appellate. A large part of the duties of the legal staff consists of processing cases before the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. During the biennium the staff has appeared in nine cases in Supreme Court and 36 cases in Court of Appeals.

Contract Negotiation
The members of the legal staff participate in important negotiations with the Bureau of Public Roads, with the Corps of Engineers of the United States Army, with representatives of highway departments of other States, and with other agencies with respect to the accomplishment of cooperative programs for road improvement or for the replacement of roads inundated by constructions of dams and other Federal projects. Such negotiations are frequently long, drawn-out and involve large sums of money, and must be handled with great care.

Miscellaneous
This unit is charged with many other duties, the most important of which perhaps is giving of oral advice and informal opinions and, through the Attorney General, the giving of formal opinions to the Director of State Highway Department, the

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

67

members of State Highway Board, officials of the Department, and members of the engineering staff.
The staff approves hundreds of leases, force account agreements, signal permits, contracts, and other legal documents as needed and used by the Highway Department.
Reports of accidents involving Highway Department vehicles are received and reviewed by this division, so that if this unit is to defend suits and/or participate in investigation of claims and collect damages it will have the facts early.
A large part of our work, especially while the General Assembly is in session, is the drafting of various types of legislation on behalf of the State Highway Department and the review and study of all bills introduced in the General Assembly to ascertain how they might affect the Highway Department.
Other duties include land acquisition other than right-of-way and procurement of title insurance on land purchases, such as the location of maintenance barns and Resident Engineers' offices.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we wish to publicy state to the readers of this publication our sincere appreciation for the invaluable assistance rendered by personnel of the State Highway Department and by our staff, without which the successful operation of this unit would have been impossible.

Public Information Section
T. R. LEDFORD Chief, Public Information Section
This section assists statewide news media in keeping the public informed on the status of Georgia's ever-expanding highway program. The staff of this section consists of the Chief, Public Information Section, who reports to the Director and the State Highway Engineer, an assistant to the section chief, and the necessary secretarial personnel. The methods used by the Public Information Section in the accomplishment of its function include: press liaison, slide lectures and speeches, photographs, a monthly newsletter and other publications, displays and special events, and coordination with State and commercial agencies and individuals interested in promoting Georgia and the State and national roadbuilding program.
Press Liaison
The Public Information Section provides an established channel of communication between the representatives of the news media (newspapers, radio and television, and magazines) and the officials and engineers of the Highway Department.
It assists newsmen in getting complete information in less technical language, while at the same time serving the best interests of the Highway Department by striving to insure that such information is factual and is clearly pointed out to the newsmen, and that the newsmen are kept aware of the career status and political neutrality of the engineers.
News Releases
News releases on matters of statewide interest are prepared by this section, reproduced by Highway Department facilities, and mailed to all daily and weekly newspapers and radio and television stations within the State. Also, local releases are prepared for specific papers and broadcasting stations on matters of interest within their circulation or broadcast area, such as traffic surveys, public hearings, specific road projects, and news of Highway Department personnel or installations in that area.

70

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

This section cooperates fully with the various divisions in obtaining news coverage on matters requiring widespread public understanding and support. On certain occasions, it works with field division offices on division-level news releases and other public information activities.

Radio and Television
This section assists representatives of radio and television in obtaining taped or filmed interviews with Highway officials and engineers, assisting in preparation of necessary scripts and in obtaining any maps, photos, or other "props" for use in these presentations. It is felt that increasing participation of Highway Department personnel in radio and television interviews has made more personal the relationship between the people of Georgia and the men who build and maintain their roads.

Newsletter
Since June 1966, this section has published a monthly fourpage newsletter, the Survey, to summarize Highway Department activities both for Department personnel and persons outside the Department, such as members of the Georgia General Assembly, city and county officials, chambers of commerce, etc. An "extra" was published as a part of Georgia's observance of 1966 National Highway Week, September 18-25, and future extras for similar special events are contemplated. The newsletter is sent to all news media, but every effort is made to insure that all items have been released to the public through the news media before they are included in the newsletter.

Speeches and Slide Lecture Proaram
On frequent occasion, the Public Information Section furnishes, or cooperates with the Georgia Highway Department Engineers Association (GHDEA) in furnishing speakers to civic, fraternal, church, and other groups. This office also provides, or shows upon request, one of the several available films dealing with highway activities in a general sense.
A slide lecture program is also used in direct contact between this section and the public. A standard lecture, defining the many steps in roadbuilding and introducing some of the major facets of the current program, was developed, illustrated with 35-mil-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

71

limeter color slides, and reviewed for accuracy by Highway Department engineers. Increasing activity in public speaking by the members of GHDEA has dramatically decreased the demand for presentation of this program by this section. This is considered advantageous for a number of reasons and this section is, therefore, frankly exploiting the willingness of the engineerspeakers, but is endeavoring to keep the slide program current for use when needed.

Photographs
This office takes and processes photographs for submission to news media and publications, for exhibits, and for use by Highway Department divisions. From time to time, photographs taken on a specific project of wide interest or of a new technique are "matted" and sent to all State newspapers for their use. A number of commercial organizations in the roadbuilding field have provided financial support to this undertaking, so that the only cost to the State has been for postage in many instances. Photographs and color slides are also furnished by this office to other State agencies for their use in promotion activities in Georgia's behalf. The Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping furnishes to the Public Information Section many photos for use in public information activities.

Publications, Displays and Special Events
This section has prepared a number of pamphlets, maps, etc., reproduced with the cooperation of the Division of Highway Planning, which are useful in transmitting to the public information relative to topics of general or periodic nature, such as number, location and examples of Georgia's covered bridges, the status of the State's Interstate program, and so on. It is anticipated that increased use can be made of this medium in the future. This section also seeks to take every possible advantage of outside publications (Georgia County Government Magazine, Trux, Dixie Contractor, etc.) to tell the Highway Department story. This office assists these magazines in preparing stories, or submits to them stories and photos prepared on a "speculative" basis for their consideration and possible use.
It also periodically prepares, or helps to prepare, displays for public functions, etc., which promote the highway program. The exhibits used are prepared by Highway Department personnel

72

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

at a minimum cost, and this office is grateful for the cooperation received from other divisions whenever they are called upon for assistance. An example was a four-color poster for 1966 Highway Week which was drawn by an artist of the Division of Highway Planning from map sketches, and "silk-screened" by personnel of the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping.
"Special events" include such activities as the observance of Highway Week, dedications of road projects and new Department facilities, project press tours and so on.

Summary
Unlike most other divisions of the Department, this section's activities cannot be accurately reflected statistically. However, an informal summary of its activities during the calendar year 1965 include the issuance of 190 news releases, 78 radio and/or TV tapes, preparation of 16 speeches, of which 10 were delivered by section personnel, preparation of 19 special articles or reports for magazines, etc., a tour by the State Highway Board of Interstate 85 construction, and preparation of a 23-page booklet on the Department for public officials and other interested persons.

Personnel Division
W. W. MacDOUGALL Personnel Director
The Personnel Division receives and analyzes applications for employment, interviews applicants, and cooperates with the division heads in the selection and assignment of qualified personnel, including engineers, technical, accounting and clerical workers.
The employment of all personnel and changes in salary, promotions, transfers, etc.. are authorized by the Director of the State Highway Department, and the Personnel Division prepares or processes the necessary documents for submission to the Director. This division maintains files containing pertinent information concerning each employee, which is made available to the Director in connection with advancement of employees.
State Merit System
The State Highway Department has been operating under the State Merit System of Personnel Administration since August 10, 1949. Almost all of the positions not in the laboring class are covered by the Merit System, including engineers, draftsmen, instrumentmen, inspectors, laboratory technicians, accounting and clerical personnel.
The Personnel Division maintains liaison with the State Merit System and handles all matters pertaining to the System, such as scheduling of examinations for employees, maintaining uniformity in salary for the different job classifications, submission of the required reports, and all other details to insure compliance with the rules and regulations of the Merit System.
Reclassifications
Effective July 1, 1966, a new Classification Plan was adopted by the State Merit System, which was developed after an extensive survey and study of all positions in the Highway Department. At the same time a new Compensation Plan was placed in effect which resulted in a salary advancement for most em-

74

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

ployees. The salaries of engineering personnel in the Highway Department now compare favorably with the salaries of engineering personnel in the Highway Department of other States, and Georgia's salaries are among the highest in the Southeast.

Employees' Retirement System
Since January 1, 1950, employees of the Highway Department who are under the Merit System have been covered by the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, except those who were employed prior to that date and themselves elected not to become a member of the Retirement System. On July 1, 1953, the Retirement System was extended to cover all employees of the Highway Department, regardless of Merit System status, except those who were employed at that time and preferred not to participate in the retirement plan.
An employee is eligible for retirement upon attainment of age 60 and completion of five years of membership in the System, or after 30 years of service regardless of age.
Since July 1, 1956, all employees of the Highway Department have been covered also by the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program under the Federal Social Security law, except those who were employed at that time and elected not to participate. All matters pertaining to the Retirement System and the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program are handled within the Highway Department by the Division of Finance and Audits, which is responsible for keeping the necessary records and submitting the required reports.

Employees' Health Insurance
On July 1, 1962, employees of the Highway Department who desired to participate were enrolled under the State of Georgia Employees' Health Insurance Plan, which is administered by the State Merit System. All employees, except part-time and seasonal employees, are required to participate in this group health insurance program, on a payroll-deduction basis. This plan provides hospital insurance, basic and major medical benefits, and is of inestimable value to the employees. The Personnel Division furnishes information to the employees and assists them in filling out the necessary forms in connection with claims under the insurance program.

Compensation Claims
Employees of the State Highway Department are covered by the Georgia Workmen's Compensation Act, which provides medical and loss-of-time benefits to those employees who receive accidental injuries arising out of and in the course of their employment. The Personnel Division receives reports of all accidental injuries received on the job, investigates the accidents, obtains reports from attending physicians, approves doctor's and hospital bills and submits all necessary reports and information to the Workmen's Compensation Board.
The Compensation Claims Executive represents the Highway Department in hearings before Deputy Directors and before the State Board of Workmen's Compensation. After an award has been rendered, payments for loss of time and medical expense are checked and approved for payment by the Compensation Claims Executive, who handles all correspondence and negotiations with attorneys representing claimants as well as correspondence with doctors, hospitals, courts of law and other persons concerned with Workmen's Compensation Claims.
The Highway Department acts as its own insurer and in many instances has subrogation rights against third parties who are responsible for injuries to Highway Department personnel. Frequently, substantial amounts of the funds expended are recouped from the persons responsible for the injury.
Effort is made to return injured employees to their jobs or other suitable employment just as soon as they are fully recovered. The Personnel Division works closely with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in finding other employment for partially disabled employees. Complete medical attention and use of prosthetic devices to return employees to gainful occupation is always insisted upon.
During the period July 1, 1964 to June 30, 1966, 1,882 compensable accident reports were received and an additional 53 employees were receiving weekly compensation payments under previous awards with total payments on all claims amounting to $275,527.58.

In-Service Trainiru; Program
A special system of in-service training for civil engineering graduates has been in operation for the past 16 years. Known

76

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

as the Highway Engineering Training Program, it provides two years of basic engineering training in the practical aspects of highway engineering. One year's training includes work in materials and tests, roadway design, bridge design, and aerial surveys. The second year's work consists of assignments on location and construction in the field. Upon completion of the training program, the employee is assigned to the division or unit of his choice.
During the training period, the trainee is under the direct control of the Director of Training. All transfers, records and reports concerning the trainee are controlled by the Director of Training.
Recruitment of trainees has become difficult due to the salary competition with private industry and the Federal Government. The Highway Department's comprehensive training program has been the primary factor in the decision of college graduates to begin work with the Department.
A three-week Traffic Engineering Seminar was conducted for employees of the State Highway Department and affiliated agencies at Southern Technical Institute by Northwestern University staff. The purpose of the seminar was to coordinate the traffic and safety efforts of the new Division of Traffic and Safety Engineering of the State Highway Department and those affiliated agencies. Certified attendance for this course was 45 with an average of 10 persons auditing the course for each session.

Evening School Technical Program
The Highway Department sponsors an evening school program in Highway Engineering Technology. The program is conducted in area vocational-technical schools throughout the State. Costs of the program to the student is normally limited to the cost of books and supplies and a small registration fee. The program is conducted in four terms of 16 weeks each with such subjects as Algebra, Trigonometry, Engineering Drawing, Surveying, Materials Testing, Plans Interpretation and Highway Engineering being taught. Successful students are eligible for promotion and pay increases.
Correspondence Courses
The Highway Department encourages its employees to complete courses in Highway Engineering with the recognized Correspon-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

77

dence Schools. Over 200 employees are enrolled at this time. The State Merit System will give recognition for promotion to higher positions upon completion of a Highway Engineering course of study.

Cooperative Plan of E'mployment
The Highway Department also has in effect the cooperative plan for college students, whereby civil engineering students work with the Highway Department for three months and attend school three months, continuing through the Junior school year. This program gives the trainee an opportunity, while attending school, to coordinate engineering principles as taught with the principles of actual highway design, construction and maintenance, thereby qualifying him for a more advanced and responsible job when he receives his degree from college. Over a period of years, the Highway Department has acquired a considerable number of key engineers through the cooperative plan.
In addition to the cooperative plan for civil engineers, the Highway Department participates in a cooperative plan with Southern Technical Institute, for young men who find it necessary to get a technical degree in less time than is required in a full-course engineering school. The plan was started at Southern Technical Institute in the fall of 1957, and has been very beneficial to the Highway Department and the students.

AASHO 25-Year Award of Merit
The benefits to be derived by an organization from the long and faithful service of its employees are well known and the State Highway Department is fortunate in having a large number of employees with many years of service. During this biennium 13 employees received recognition in this respect by being presented with the Twenty-Five-Year Award of Merit of the American Association of State Highway Officials. This award, consisting of a certificate and lapel button, is conferred annually by the Association to employees in certain grades, who have had 25 years

Division of Surveys and Aerial ~Iapping
L. W. VERNER State Highway Location Engineer
The Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping is responsible for locating and surveying all roadways excepting those inside the Atlanta perimeter route, which are the responsibility of the Division of Urban Projects. It is also responsible for providing photography and topographic maps at scales suitable for the location and design of all principal highways in the State.
Location Surveys
When a location survey for an Interstate, Primary or Urban project is authorized, the State Highway Location Engineer has aerial photographs made of the corridor through which a proposed road is to be built. From the aerial photographs and photogrammetric maps, if determined necessary, the Location Engineer either locates or furnishes instructions to the Field Division Engineer who then proceeds with the ground survey. It is customary to make a review inspection before the final survey notes are submitted to the General Office. It is usually a joint inspection made by engineers from the General Office, the field division office, and if the project is on a Federal-aid program, engineers from the Bureau of Public Roads are also present. The purpose of the field inspection is to determine if the best possible location has been obtained. A report of this inspection either approves or recommends needed changes for approval before the field survey is completed.
Completed field notes of Interstate, Primary and Urban projects are forwarded to the State Highway Location Engineer's office where they are carefully checked for possible errors or omissions and then submitted to the State Road Design Engineer's office or the State Highway Urban Engineer's office where detailed design and construction plans are prepared.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, a total of 1,555 miles of surveys were authorized and 3,243 miles were authorized for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966. The substantial increase last year includes approximately 900 miles of reconstruction

80

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

projects of the Georgia State Highway Authority where only a centerline distance is needed. Another factor reflected in the above figure is the increased Federal-aid Primary and Secondary programs, including 406 miles of Secondary surveys. The situation is due principally to the priority given and the virtual completion of all location surveys on the 1,106-mile Interstate System. Other programs, such as the Appalachian Development Highway Program, are represented in this period.

Photography
In addition to the needs of this division, photography, both vertical and oblique, is provided for other divisions of the Highway Department as well as other State agencies by special arrangements. Due to the acquisition of new equipment in recent years, the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping now has the finest photographic laboratory in this area, and ranks high among the States of the Nation.

Photogrammetry
The State of Georgia continues to be a leader among State highway departments in the fast developing field of photogramrnetry. This is evidenced by the great number of observers from other States and countries who came here to study Georgia's operation. Although topographic mapping for location and design continues to be the major activity of this division, new methods and equipment have expanded its capabilities in this newest of highway engineering sciences.

In September 1964, the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping obtained a Wild A-7 First-Order Stereo Plotter, primarily for obtaining vertical and horizontal field control to be used in topographic mapping. Each stereo model, from which the topographic map is produced, must have a minimum of four vertical and three horizontal control points to be used in the Kelsh Stereo Plotter. Previously, all of this control was acquired by field survey methods. The A-7, however, possesses the capability of setting control points across long distances between areas of field control through a technique known as stereotriangulation.
By June 1966, over 900 stereo models had been controlled by the A-7. This significant reduction in the amount of mapping control that the field crews were required to survey released

them for other types of surveys, such as coordinating centerline P.L's for divisions, setting permanent monuments, triangulating and setting control for bridge construction, establishing field control for property surveys, and measuring centerlines for divisions. It is interesting to note that this greater workload is being accomplished with fewer field personnel, a fact which can only be attributed to the A-7.

A breakdown of the field surveys for the period of this report is as follows:

Photo Geology
The Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping expanded its facilities to offer several new services, one of which was photo geology. A systematic approach to quantitative and qualitative analysis of geologic conditions from aerial photographs was developed. These reports have been prepared for use by the soil testing laboratory and the location personnel and concern the engineering significance of soil and geological conditions, location of economic mineral deposits and the location of materials to be used in highway construction. This program, which is a cooperative effort between the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping and the testing laboratory, provided a total of 19 reports spanning an area of more than 700,000 acres within the two years covered by this report.

Cadastral Surveys
In cooperation with the Right-of-Way Section of the Thomaston field division, techniques were developed for obtaining X and Y coordinates on property corners by photogrammetric methods. Using a Wild A-7 First-Order Stereo Plotter and its associated electronic systems with the IBM 1620 computer, all information necessary to produce a right-of-way map is obtained in about one-fourth the usual time required. To date, four right-of-way projects have been completed by this method, covering a distance of more than 30 miles and containing 1,903 individual property corners.

Cross Sections
The addition of the A-7 has made photogrammetric reading of cross sections a highly accurate and efficient procedure. Photogrammetry has long been used for this purpose, but the A-7 offers several important improvements. The operator views a three-dimensional image of the project area. After placing a floating reference mark on the point he wants to measure, he punches a button which activates an IBM 026 card punch and an IBM card is automatically prepared. This direct link from the A-7 to the 1620 computer eliminates the possibility of human error in transcribing long series of figures. The following proj ects have been cross-sectioned with the A-7.
1-485 cross sections - 100 - foot sections, stations 121+00

Division of Road Design
JOHN M. WILKERSON, JR. State Road Design Engineer
The Division of Road Design is responsible for the preparation of plans from the original survey notes to the final plan stage for all Federal-aid Primary and Interstate Highway projects which are located outside the urban limits of the larger municipalities. Plans are also prepared for projects utilizing Federalaid Urban funds within the smaller cities. The Division of Road Design also has the responsibility for the coordination and general supervision of the preparation of plans for Federal-aid Secondary projects in each of the field division offices.
All phases of the engineering design of each individual project are accomplished or correlated by the Division of Road Design. Included are: the types and sizes of all drainage structures; the determination of the proper roadway grades to meet the requirements for safety, drainage, speed design, economy in construction, maximum utilization of soils present in the rightof-way, and minimum right-of-way requirements; the extent of relocation and reconstruction of all utility lines affected by the project; the selection of pavement types and designs which will effect the maximum economy by utilization of natural materials available in the specific locality as well as provide the strength and stability required for the weight and volume of the anticipated traffic; the selection of lane widths, types of intersections and their detailed design; estimate of all quantities for each item of work required to completely construct the project; the assimilation, coordination and combination of all the data into a complete set of plans by which the project may be constructed. Separate plans for right-of-way acquisition are prepared for each Federal-aid Interstate and Primary project. In addition a determination is made of the Special Provisions required to augment the State Standard Specifications to cover special items of construction required for each project.
Electronic Computer
The computation of grades, drainage areas, earthwork quantities, slope stake notes, mass ordinates, interchange design data

and many other miscellaneous mathematical problems are accomplished with the electronic computer. Use of the computer results in great savings in time and engineering talent. The availability of the computer has greatly accelerated the production of the large volume of completed plans required by the current Federal-aid Primary and Interstate programs.

P hoioorammetru
The Division of Road Design coordinating with the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping have and are continuing to develop methods of design employing the latest photogrammetric methods. This new tool was developed primarily for use on the design of the Interstate Highway System. It has a tremendous potentiality, however, and the use of photogrammetry has now been expanded to include projects on new location on the Primary System. The use of this newest and latest highway engineering science is effecting tremendous economies in construction costs as well as engineering manpower. Georgia leads all the Southeastern States and ranks high among the States of the Nation in the degree to which it has adapted photogrammetry to the design of highways using its own forces.

Landscape Design
A Landscape Design Section has been created to prepare plans for landscaping, screening junkyards, and for the preservation of natural beauty and enhancement of scenic areas. Three registered landscape architects together with landscape draftsmen have been employed. This section will produce plans required for the expenditure of funds allocated by the Federal Government for beautification, preservation of natural beauty, and the screening of unsightly terrain adjacent to the right-of-way. Screening by planting shrubs, plants and trees is being employed to hide the many unsightly junkyards of discarded automobile hulks, and other materials which exist throughout the State.

Utility Relocations
Rearrangement and reconstruction of public and privately owned utility facilities to eliminate conflicts with highway construction has grown with the highway program into a major item of engineering effort and construction cost. In an effort

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

85

to reduce this cost to a minimum, constant liaison is maintained with all utility owners throughout the State.
The requirements of the Bureau of Public Roads for documentation and justification of reimbursable engineering and construction cost claimed by utility owners for rearrangement of their facilities where conflicts occur on highway construction projects, and for which the State requests Federal participation, has materially increased the work required of the Division of Road Design in the accumulation of data for Utility Force Account Agreements during the two fiscal years covered by this report. All construction plans prepared by this division contain completely detailed plans for the rearrangement of each utility encountered on construction whether the costs for such rearrangements are, or are not, reimbursable. These plans must be in sufficient detail to support audit of final payments to each utility owner by the auditors of the Division of Finance and Audits and to inform the roadway contractors of the extent of the work to be performed by the utility owners which must be coordinated with the construction work for the highway.

Plan Reproduction
A complete plan reproduction unit is operated by the Division of Road Design. The equipment consists of two automatic blue line printing machines, and a self-developing photostat layout. Blue line prints and photostats of plans required by the Atlanta office, the field divisions, the Bureau of Public Roads and the contractors are produced by this unit. Microfilming equipment, acquired in 1962, is being used in microfilming plans covering roads and bridges. This procedure will prevent excessive wear on the old tracings and provide a permanent record. The original tracings will be preserved in the new Archives and Records Building after projects are completed thus making the space presently used for storage available for current plans.

Contact with Other Agencies
The Division of Road Design maintains contact with Bureau of Public Roads to assure that all matters pertaining to design conform to the Bureau's requirements and completed plans meet with their approval.
Contact is maintained with the various operating committees of the American Association of State Highway Officials, the

86

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

American Road Builders' Association, the Highway Research Board, and with the State Highway officials of other States in order that this division may keep abreast of the latest trends and developments in highway design.
Constant contact is maintained with the engineering personnel of every private utility owner, including railroads and municipally owned utilities, whose facilities come in contact with highway construction projects being designed.
Liaison is maintained with the Georgia Historical Commission and the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Layouts of locations of all projects for which plans are prepared are sent to these agencies during the design period. Using these plans the Georgia Historical Commission schedules search and recovery excavation proj ects for significantly historical obj ects in advance of the road construction. The U. S. Soil Conservation Service coordinates their reclamation and drainage projects with highway projects.

Records
It is the responsibility of the Division of Road Design to assign project numbers to all State-aid projects and maintain permanent file records of the location of these projects. Accordingly, project numbers are assigned for all State Highway System projects, Post Road projects, projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority and the Georgia State Highway Authority, and projects performed by State forces. In addition, permanent files are maintained for all original plan tracings for all projects on which plans have been prepared since the Highway Department was created. Files and inventory records are also maintained on all field survey notebooks which are sent to the Atlanta office.

Critical Path
A Critical Path Method of scheduling various phases in the preparation of plans is being followed. From this scheduling the completion of each step in the design and the final completion date of each project can be anticipated. The schedule for all projects on the Interstate program has been computed based on a logical sequence of the various operations. This method is followed from the time a proj ect is programmed to final completion.

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

87

It assures an orderly and efficient work schedule, eliminates delays, and will produce complete plans in a minimum length of time.

Plans Prepared
During the year ending June 30, 1965, plans for Interstate highways were completed to the letting stage for 116 miles of grading and paving, 106 miles of signs and 35 miles of fencing. In the same period plans were designed for 26 miles of Federalaid Primary highways. Plans were also designed for 63 widening and resurfacing projects with length of approximately 590 miles for the Georgia State Highway Authority. Plans were prepared to the letting stage for 13 projects covering the installation of protective devices at unsafe railroad-highway crossings.
During the year ending June 30, 1966, plans were completed to the letting stage for 26 miles of grading and paving on the Interstate System. In addition, plans were prepared for 42 miles of signs, 159 miles of fencing, and 72 miles of landscaping and erosion control work on previously paved Interstate highways. Primary plans were completed for 54 miles of grading and paving and for 88 miles of landscaping on previously paved Primary highways. In addition, plans for 28 projects for screening junkyards adjacent to the right-of-way were completed. Plans were prepared for 15 widening and resurfacing proj ects covering approximately 110 miles of roadway for the Georgia State Highway Authority. Plans were drawn for six signal projects to protect dangerous railroad-highway crossings. These projects were for the erection of automatic flashing light signals, bells and/or short-arm gates.
As of June 30, 1966, plans were on the drawing boards in various stages of completion for 59 Federal-aid Primary projects and 35 Interstate projects, over 594 miles in length.

Federal-aid Secondary Projects
Plans for Federal-aid Secondary projects were prepared for the period covered by this report in the field division offices under direct supervision of an Assistant State Road Design Engineer assigned for that purpose. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, plans were prepared for 284 miles of improve-

ments. The total cost of these projects was approximately $15 million with an average estimated cost per mile of approximately $54,000. During this same period one Urban Secondary project was let with a length of approximately 3.9 miles at a total cost of approximately $293,000.
During the fiscal year ending .J une 30, 1966, plans covering approximately 218 miles of construction were prepared. The total cost of these projects was approximately $13 million and the average estimated cost per mile was approximately $59,000.

Division of Bridges
C. A. MARMELSTEIN State Highway Bridge Engineer
The Di vision of Bridges is responsible for the preparation of detailed plans, tracing of plans, and making cost estimates of the various structures required as an integral part of a road system. The structure types include bridges over streams, over railroads, and over highways, pedestrian overpasses, underpasses, minor drainage structures such as culverts, and major retaining walls.
This division acts in a consultant capacity to the field forces who build the structures in accordance with the plans, insuringthat the intent of the plans and specifications is carried out. Experienced engineers inspect bridge construction projects on a periodic basis.
This division also prepares specifications, supplemental specifications and special provisions covering the construction of bridges and other structures.
Suroeus
The initial step in plan preparation is the determination of the bridge site. Quite frequently aerial photographs of the area are used in determining a preliminary survey location. A location survey party makes a detailed survey of the proposed line and forwards all data in note form to the Division of Road Design or the Division of Bridges. These notes are plotted up and show such features as alinement, ground elevations, highwater marks for specified years, water boundaries, drainage areas, stream traverses, and topography. In some cases, proper appraisal of the conditions requires that a field inspection be made by '1 representative of this division. Exploration of subsurface conditions is also made as a requirement in determining the proper type of foundation to be used. These explorations or soundings are made by representatives of the laboratory. These outfits are equipped with floating equipment and diamond drills which will penetrate solid rock and retrieve samples.

Preliminary Work
When the foregoing information is received and plotted, preliminary bridge layouts are made. Determination of bridge length and height is the first step. For a grade separation, the total length, individual span lengths, and the height will be determined principally by the horizontal and vertical clearance requirements. However, in bridging a stream crossing, particularly a major one, hydrological analysis must be used in order that the opening provided by the bridge is sufficient to pass safely the discharge of a flood of the design frequency. The U. S. Geological Survey cooperates with the State in making these hydrological analyses. Once the overall bridge length and its height are determined, individual span lengths can be selected on an economical basis to fit existing conditions such as water boundaries, topography, etc. Before actual design begins, reference is made to traffic data furnished by the Division of Highway Planning in order that proper roadway width and load capacity will be used to meet present and anticipated traffic requirements.

Preparation of Plans
With these basic features determined, the design personnel prepares the plans. This work involves making the calculations that determine the size of the members necessary to support the loads. It also involves making detailed pencil drawings and ink tracings of these drawings, and a cost estimate based upon prevailing bid prices is made. All of this work is under the supervision of graduate, registered, professional engineers. Under these engineers are bridge designers, detailers and draftsmen.
Electronic data-processing machines are used for the solution of problems involving complex geometric layouts, design of spans, piers and culverts. These machines save a large number of manhours and accelerate the preparation of bridge plans.

Other Functions
Other assignments of this division are to cooperate with maintenance forces in effecting repairs to older bridges; to develop an index record of all State bridges; to act in an advisory capacity relating to questions concerning bridge load capacities and bridge clearances; and to check detailed shop drawings prepared by the structural steel fabricators.

Counties is being financed with Georgia State Highway Authority funds.

Project F-064-1 (8) Chatham County
This project covers the construction of a new, high-level bridge over Tybee River on State Route 26 between Savannah and Savannah Beach. The old bridge consists of a steel truss swing span and steel truss approach spans with narrow roadway. The new bridge has prestressed concrete pile bents supporting prestressed concrete beams with a concrete floor. The roadway width is 30 feet and the design loading is H20 - S16. The overall length is 3,534 feet and the estimated cost is $1,188,000. This new bridge eliminates the last low-level, narrow bridge on this road.

Project RAE (5) SP 1851 (23) Jet] Daois-Telieir Counties
This proj ect covers the reconstruction of two new bridges over the Altamaha River on State Route 27 between Lumber City and Hazlehurst. The old bridge consists of a steel truss swing span flanked on each end with a steel truss fixed span. The north approach has steel pile bents with steel beam girders and concrete floor. The south approach has treated timber pile bents with steel beam girders and concrete floor. The steel trusses and all of the south approach spans are to be removed. The five piers supporting the steel trusses and the steel pile bents of the north approach are to be widened. The concrete slabs on the north approach spans are to be widened. Except for the two new piers, all of the new substructure will be steel pipe piles filled with concrete. A portion of the existing steel beams will be used in the new structure. The existing bridge is 2,494 feet long. The new bridges will be 1,233 feet long and 521 feet long with 745 feet of fill section between them. Since there was no other bridges nearby, it was necessary to construct detour bridges to handle the traffic. The overall lengths of the two bridges is 1,754 feet and the estimated cost is $561,500 excluding the cost of the detour bridges. The new bridges will have roadway width of 28 feet and are designed for H20 loading.

Division of Urban Projects
S. P. ALLISON State Highway Urban Enaineer
The Division of Urban Projects is responsible for the preparation of plans and advancement of projects to be constructed with Federal-aid Urban funds and projects on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways in urban areas of 5,000 or more population.
During the two years covered by this report, contracts have been awarded for Urban and Interstate projects in the Atlanta, Macon, Columbus and Savannah urban areas for 38.943 miles of highways amounting to $39,764,472. In addition, the Division of Bridges prepared plans for bridges on urban projects amounting to $13,907,525, making a total of $53,671,997.
U1'ban Al'eas
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, re-enacted as Title 23, United States Code, defines an "urban area" as an area including and adjacent to a municipality or other urban place of 5,000 or more, as shown by the latest Federal census. For this purpose, the term "latest available Federal census" means the latest published official census, decennial or special.
The Act provided that the boundaries of urban areas would be fixed by the highway department of each State, subject to the approval of the Bureau of Public Roads. Each area has to include at least the incorporated area of the municipality but may extend outside the corporate limits to include areas which are urban in character. Satellite communities, such as city suburbs in a metropolitan area, may be included regardless of size. Thus, by the establishment of these urban areas, highway planning for the whole community without regard to corporate boundaries and political subdivisions is being facilitated.
Based upon reports prepared by the Division of Highway Planning, urban area boundaries have been fixed and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads for all places classified as urban areas, according to the 1960 census. The 53 urban areas in Georgia are listed below. Atlanta includes East Point, College

Park, Hapeville, Decatur, Avondale Estates, North Atlanta, and several other communities. The town of Rossville is included in the urban area of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Federal-aid Urban funds may be expended only on the extensions of the Federal-aid Primary and Secondary Systems within the established urban area. Minor street improvements, repaving, and other work inside curb lines is not eligible for the expenditure of Urban funds.
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 provides that after July 1, 1965 a Federal-aid project in an urban area of more than fifty thousand population shall not be approved by the Bureau of Public Roads unless such project is based on a continuing, comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooper-

atively by the State Highway Department and the local communities. The seven cities in Georgia in this category are Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and the part of the urban area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Georgia (Rossville). These urban transportation studies are being conducted by the Division of Highway Planning and further information is contained in that division's section of this report.
In order to comply with the above Federal requirements and to assure that local and State funds are utilized to maximum advantage, close liaison and cooperation are required between the Division of Urban Projects and local officials, including planning agencies in urban areas.
Frequently more time and effort are expended on preliminary studies of alternate locations and on alternate studies of interchange or intersection layouts than is required for completion of final plans after agreement is reached on where and what should be constructed.
For example, 1-485, which extends from Boulevard to 1-85 in the vicinity of Cheshire Bridge Road, a distance of just over five miles in the Atlanta urban area, required more than 18 months of preliminary studies before a final location was agreed upon by all interested parties. During this time the Division of Urban Projects studied five different proposed locations and made detailed cost comparisons on three locations. Included in this work was assembly of data from which the Division of Rightof- Way and the Division of Bridges prepared cost estimates for rights-of-way and bridges. At least 18 months, possibly two years, will be required to prepare final plans and purchase rightof-way for the first section of this project. The second section will probably require an additional two years for preparation of plans and purchase of right-of-way. t
Currently preliminary studies are being conducted for future projects in the Atlanta Metropolitan, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah areas. Some of these projects will be advanced to the contract stage during the next biennium; final plans for others may not be completed for several years.
In addition, final plans are currently being prepared for projects in the Atlanta Metropolitan, Brunswick, Columbus, Macon and Savannah urban areas.

Public Utilities
Urban projects invariably involve major conflicts with public utility facilities of all types. These include water, sanitary sewer, power, telephone, street lighting, public transit, airports, fire alarm systems and any other facility devoted to public use. The impact on public utilities is a major factor to be considered in preliminary decisions regarding alternate locations. During preparation for final plans every utility conflict must be located and resolved. Close liaison is maintained at all stages of preliminary and final plan preparation and as soon as final plans are advanced to the stage that conflicts can be determined utility owners are requested to prepare preliminary plans showing necessary rearrangement of their facilities. On complex projects one or more conferences may be held where utilities engineers and road designers resolve mutual problems. The Division of Urban Projects works closely with the Division of Utilities to insure that the location of all existing utilities and their final disposition is shown in the plans and that any special scheduling requirements are covered in the contract.

Electronic Computer
The Division of Urban Projects has continued to make use of the electronic computer, operated in the Division of Finance and Audits. This division maintains direct liaison with the computer center and has instituted the use of various programs which make it possible to obtain accurate computations which effect savings of many man-hours and accomplish improved highway designs.

Use of Contour Maps
This division has continued to make extensive use of aerial photographs and contour maps prepared by the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping and during the last year has assisted in preparation of computer programs to process data furnished by the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping for location of property corners and for original ground cross sections. These techniques show great promise of saving time and money and at the same time providing more accurate information.

Division of Right-of-Way
C. A. CURTIS State Highway Right-at-Way Engineer
The principal function of the Division of Right-of-Way is to administer and supervise the acquisition of rights-of-way necessary for the construction and maintenance of all highways under the jurisdiction of the State Highway Department. In connection with the acquisition procedure, numerous permanent records must be maintained relating to fiscal matters and documenting evidence as to property transactions. Other major responsibilities of the Division of Right-of-Way are to dispose of surplus improvements and land remnants acquired in conjunction with right-of-way acquisition, to administer the relocation advisory service and moving cost payments to persons displaced by rightof-way acquisition, and to assist the Law Department and other divisions of the Highway Department in clearing the right-of-way of existing encroachments and preventing future encroachments.
Oroomieation
The organization of the Division of Right-of-Way consists of a central office section located in the Highway Department's General Office supported by right-of-way sections in each of the six field division offices. The central office section, under the direction of the State Highway Right-of-Way Engineer, is responsible for maintaining all permanent records, processing reimbursement payments to the counties and cities acting as acquisition agents for the State and maintaining liaison with the Bureau of Public Roads. All plans, appraisals, contracts, and other miscellaneous documents are processed through the central office for final approval. The entire right-of-way acquisition program is under the direction of the State Highway Right-of-Way Engineer, who is responsible for developing and administering policies and procedures relating to all right-of-way activities. Personnel in the Field Division Right-of-Way Sections work under the direction of an Assistant Field Division Engineer in charge of right-of-way and handle the actual procedure of rightof-way acquisition as a field function by working with and assisting the counties and cities acting as acquisition agencies.

100

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

The Field Division Right-of-Way Section works under the direct authority of the Field Division Engineer; however, these rightof-way units work very closely with central office personnel and are under the guidance of the State Highway Right-of-Way Engineer.

Policies and Procedures
Under present policy, State funds are utilized in right-of-way acquisition for only Primary, Urban and Interstate projects. Federal funds participate in this acquisition in varying degrees depending on the type of project. Due to this Federal participation, it is necessary that State policies and procedures conform with regulations issued by the Bureau of Public Roads in order for the State to claim the Federal pro rata share of the rightof-way cost. As the Bureau, from time to time, issues Policy and Procedure and Instructional Memorandums changing or supplementing existing regulations, it is necessary that the State modify its procedures accordingly.
During this biennium, there have been no major policy or procedure changes that would affect the right-of-way program to any appreciable extent. Several changes of a minor nature have been implemented as follows:
1. A short form appraisal report has been put into use for all parcels with values of $250 or less and minimum payments of $25 are being made for very small takings.
2. Due to Bureau requirements, it is now necessary that all improvements on the right-of-way be vacated before the physical construction of a project can be advertised for bids.
3. For Federal-aid projects, recent Bureau instructions require that negotiations be conducted on a basis of a firm offer, in writing, representing the State's determination of the fair market value of the acquisition. Owners must also be supplied in writing with an explanation of the steps available to them if they elect to reject the State's offer. Division of Right-of-Way has prepared an informational brochure giving this as well as other pertinent information which will be furnished property owners during the negotiation period.

Relocation Advisol'Jj Assistance
During November of 1962, the Division of Right-of-Way activated the relocation advisory assistance program for all Federalaid projects as required under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. This service provide" assistance to families, individuals, or businesses displaced due to the acquisition of rights-of-way for Federal-aid highway projects. Under this program personnel of the Division of Right-of-Way, in collaboration with various Federal and local government agencies, assist the persons and businesses displaced in finding other comparable living quarters or business locations.
The 1966 session of the General Assembly supplemented the above program by the passage of Act No. 583 (House Bill No. 105) which provides for the payment of moving costs to persons, families, and business entities displaced by the acquisition of rights-of-way for all projects in which Federal funds participate in right-of-way cost. This program was implemented on May 18, 1966 and payments are now being made with a maximum payment of $200 for an individual or family and $3,000 for a business, non-profit organization or farm.

Interstate Sustem
During this biennium a total of 135 miles of Interstate rightsof-way have been acquired, consisting of 1,146 parcels on 15 different projects and costing $8,682,816. This represents approximately 12 per cent of the estimated Interstate mileage and brings the total mileage acquired as of July 1, 1966 to 700 miles or 63 per cent of the entire 1,105.4 miles to be acquired. The progress made in acquiring Interstate right-of-way during this biennium is somewhat less than during the previous two-year period due principally to a shortage of Federal Interstate funds and difficulties in route locations on 1-75-3 north of Atlanta and 1-20-2 between Atlanta and Augusta. It will be difficult to complete all right-of-way acquisition by 1969 in order to complete construction of the Interstate System by the scheduled date of 1972 unless additional Federal funds are made available at an early date.
The table below indicates the status of right-of-way acquisition as of June 30, 1966, for the various Interstate route sections in Georgia:

Routes have finally been selected for 1-75-3 north of Atlanta and it is anticipated that priority will be given this section in order to complete 1-75 from the Florida to the Tennessee line at the earliest practicable date. During this biennium a new section of Interstate was approved for Georgia, this being 1-485, a connector between 1-75 and 1-85 in the City of Atlanta. Although this section is only 5.2 miles in length it will be an expensive project both from a right-of-way and a construction standpoint.
In securing right-of-way for Interstate projects, the counties and cities act through contractual agreements with the State as acquisition agencies to secure the right-of-way. City and county personnel do the actual negotiating and purchasing with the State making reimbursement for all right-of-way cost and expenses incurred except the negotiating, legal, administrative and court costs.

Federal-Aid Primary and Urban Projects
The procedure in acquiring right-of-way for Federal-aid Primary and Urban projects is similar to that used for Interstate projects except that the counties and cities participate to a greater extent. The counties or cities, depending on the location of the project, act through contractual agreement with the High-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

103

way Department to furnish a certain percentage of the actual right-of-way cost along with all miscellaneous services in connection with the right-of-way acquisition.
During this biennium, 90 miles of rights-of-way have been acquired on 56 different projects, consisting of 1,146 parcels of property and costing $5,275,753.

Right-of-Way on Secondary Roads
Federal-aid Secondary and Post Road projects require rightsof-way varying in width from 80 to 130 feet with the roads of potentially higher traffic capacities requiring the greater width. This right-of-way, in practically all cases, is furnished by the local county and city governments without cost to the State or Federal governments. As roads under this category are highly beneficial to the area which they serve by increasing land values and providing more convenient, rapid, and safe access to local markets, the local government agency can usually acquire the right-of-way at a minimum cost.
Even though no Federal funds are utilized in the actual rightof-way acquisition, it is necessary that the right-of-way be protected from encroachments in order for the State to collect the Federal pro rata share of the construction cost. All rights-of-way for Secondary-type roads on the State Highway System are acquired in the name of the State, whereas rights-of-way for roads of this class not on the State System are acquired in the name of the county.
For the two-year period covered by this report, right-of-way consisting of 2,395 parcels was acquired on 508 miles of 113 Federal-aid Secondary projects. Right-of-way was also acquired on approximately 60 miles of full State-financed Post Road projects. In addition to the above, right-of-way certification documents and allied papers were processed through the Division of Right-of-Way for numerous Post Road projects let to county contracts.

Surplus Property Disposal
A large percentage of property acquired as right-of-way, particularly in urban areas, contains various types of improvements. These improvements generally consist of dwellings, business structures, farm buildings, and in some instances machinery

104

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

or equipment that are declared by the courts to be realty. If the owners do not desire to retain these improvements and have them relocated at State expense, it is necessary that the State buy the improvement along with the land. If the State acquires the improvement, it is necessary that it be cleared from the rightof-way in order to permit construction to proceed and it is to the public interest that the improvement be disposed of with the maximum amount of recovery possible.
In accordance with Georgia law, these improvements are declared surplus and offered for sale under sealed bids which are accepted by the State Supervisor of Purchases. By order of the Governor, bid proposals listing all items for sale are prepared by the Property Management Section of the Division of Rightof-Way and furnished the Supervisor of Purchases for advertisement and distribution. It is a policy that former property owners always be furnished bid proposals with the opportunity of submitting bids on improvements purchased from them if they so desire.
It is often impossible to dispose of certain types of improvements, particularly old, highly depreciated dwellings and farm buildings. In such cases, these buildings are included in the construction contract as clearing and grubbing items. In some instances, it is necessary to let special demolition contracts where buildings are sufficient in number to warrant such action.
During this biennium surplus improvements, consisting principally of 330 items of miscellaneous buildings, have been sold for a total proceeds of $244,810 on 36 projects. The percentage of initial cost recovered in these sales varies, depending on the location of the project, the type of building, the demand for salvage material in the area, and the available space on which to relocate movable structures. As related to the appraised value, recovery on contemporary brick dwellings may be as high as 40 per cent and similar type frame dwellings have returned up to 35 per cent. Returns decline rapidly from this high due to zoning restrictions, obsolete designs, removal cost, and lack of competition in certain areas.

Land Economic Studies
A research project under the supervision of the Division of Right-of-Way and conducted in cooperation with the Division of

Thirty-First Report, State Higluoay Department of Georgia

105

Highway Planning and the Bureau of Public Roads has been under way since September of 1961 to determine the economic influence and impact of the construction of high-type highways on remainders resulting from right-of-way acquisition. These studies have been confined principally to the history of land sales by property owners of such remainders. Studies have been completed for both limited-access Interstate highways and roads on the Primary System; however, as a majority of the land transaction activity has centered around interchange areas on the Interstate System, a major portion of the studies reflects conditions pertinent to these areas. Appraisers doing fee appraisal work for the State have access to these reports and they have found them very valuable in estimating consequential benefits and damages in their appraisal work under comparable circumstances. As of June 30, 1966, approximately 80 studies have been completed covering a wide range of land transactions. These studies seem to indicate conclusively that the value of land near interchange areas, particularly near urban areas, is materially enhanced by the construction of high-type, highcapacity highways, regardless of whether the highway is a limited-access Interstate route or a free access Primary route. It appears from subsequent sales that some landlocked remainders may suffer damages whereas severed areas may be damaged very little, if any, and may actually show an enhancement in value.

Control and Protection 01 Right-ol-Way
Protecting the right-of-way for public highways is a problem that requires constant vigilance by Highway Department employees. Adjacent land owners, advertising firms, and the general public are constantly encroaching on highway right-of-way by erecting various type structures, fences, and signs, parking illegally, dumping debris, excavation activities or using the rightof-way as service area for business operations. These encroachments, to a very large degree, are not intentional but are due either to ignorance as to Highway Department regulations controlling the right-of-way or as to the location of the right-of-way limits. The burden and responsibility of protecting the right-ofway fall principally on field division maintenance and engineering personnel, right-of-way personnel in the field and General Office, and the State Law Department. As outlined elsewhere in this

106

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

report, permits for driveways are processed by the Division of Traffic and Safety Engineering and permits for encroachments by utilities are processed by the Division of Utilities.
The State Highway Board, during 1951, adopted Rules and Regulations for the Control and Protection of State Highway Rights-of-Way, which were printed in booklet form and given wide distribution. These regulations have been revised several times with the last revision and reissue effective August 15, 1963. The foreword of this publication states in part as follows:
The laws of Georgia provide that lands obtained for State Highway rights-of-way shall be held inviolate for public highway purposes and shall be preserved as such by proper protection against the appropriation of said lands for uses other than those for which they were procured. No deed shall be issued or act allowed to alter the title of the State to the said lands for public highway purposes.
These regulations also give full instruction for the issuance of permits for such encroachments as are legally permissible and give full engineering data as to designs acceptable for driveways and entrances.
It is also necessary that rights-of-way on all Federal-aid projects be maintained free of encroachments as Bureau of Public Roads regulations contain the following provision:
The rights-of-way provided for Federal-aid highway projects shall be held inviolate for public highway purposes. No projects shall be accepted as complete until all encroachments have been removed from the rights-of-way. No signs (other than traffic warning and directional signs), posters, billboards, automotive service stations or other commercial establishments for serving motor-vehicle users, roadside stands or any other private installations shall be permitted within the right-of-way limits; neither shall any portion of the rights-of-way be used in connection with any private business or undertaking.
In order for the State to collect the Federal pro rata share of cost on a Federal-aid project, these regulations must be observed. This is true even though no Federal funds were utilized in rightof-way acquisition.

Division of Utilities
LEWIS E. PARKER State Highway Utilities Engineer
The Division of Utilities is responsible for the coordination of railroad and utility matters between the several divisions of the Highway Department and the railroad and utility owners. This division is also responsible for developing and administering policies and procedures, methods and regulations related to highway-utility matters. This division furnishes functional guidance to the Division of Road Design, the Division of Urban Projects and to the Field Division Engineers in implementing the policies and procedures of the Highway Department in matters concerned with railroad and utility adjustments, relocations and encroachments.
The Division of Utilities is under the direction of the State Highway Utilities Engineer who is assisted by three engineers in the General Office and approximately 20 representatives of the Utilities Sections of the six field divisions.
Functions and Activities
Through representatives in the six field divisions, the Division of Utilities works cooperatively with the various railroads and utility owners in the following activities:
1. Coordinating the highway program with the planned expansions of railroad and utility facilities.
2. Preparing plans and estimates of cost for the relocation or adjustment of facilities that are in conflict with proposed highway construction.
3. Preparing and executing contracts for the elimination of railroad and utility conflicts with proposed highway construction.
4. Coordinating the activities of the railroad and utility owner with those of the highway contractor through preconstruction conferences and continuing consultation during the course of construction of the proj ect.

108

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

This division handles with the Bureau of Public Roads for the approval of all contracts with railroads and utility owners when Federal funds are involved. This division issues authorizations to the railroads and utility owners for accomplishing the work necessary for adjusting or relocating their facilities in conflict with construction and maintenance activities. All change orders involving railroads and utilities are reviewed by this division. All bills rendered by railroads and utilites are checked by this division before being transmitted to the Treasurer for audit and payment.
Permits for permissible railroad and utility encroachments on the State highway right-of-way originate in the field divisions, with appropriate recommendations by the Field Division Engineer. These permits are forwarded to the General Office and the Division of Utilities reviews the application and submits the permit to the State Highway Engineer for approval.

Liaison
Besides coordinating highway-utility activities with the larger telephone, power and gas companies operating in Georgia, the Division of Utilities maintains liaison with 55 independent telephone companies, 42 electric cooperatives, and numerous city and county-owned utilities.
During the calendar year of 1965 the State Highway Department let 86 Federal-aid Projects to contract which included utility relocations or adj ustments to be paid for with State and Federal funds. On these projects the Division of Utilities prepared and executed 216 contracts with the utility owners for reimbursements with State and Federal funds exceeding $2,300,000. On these and other highway projects the utility owners spent in excess of $10 million of their own funds in the removal of highway conflicts or plant expansion that were coordinated with highway construction.
In 1965 the Division of Utilities issued in excess of 3,000 permits to utility owners, permitting them to install their facilities on or across highway rights-of-way.

Division of Contracts and Estimates
T. D. SPENCE State Highway Office Engineer
The Division of Contracts and Estimates is responsible for the preparation and processing of documents pertaining to the construction of projects under the various programs established by the Highway Department. When the plans for a project are completed and approved, they are turned over to this division to carry out the remaining administrative steps leading to the final completion of the construction work.
Estimates and Proposals
When construction plans are received, this office prepares detailed cost estimates, bid proposals, and notices to contractors on each project. On projects involving Federal funds these documents must be approved by the Bureau of Public Roads.
Detailed cost estimates become a basis for allocation of engineering, construction and supervision funds, as well as a basis for comparison of bids received.
Proposals specify the construction to be accomplished and include a detailed listing of all bid items and quantities for the project, as well as all supplemental specifications and special provisions peculiar to that project. The Standard Specifications also become, by reference, an integral part of the proposal.
Notices to contractors indicate the general nature of proposed construction, the date, time and place for receiving and opening proposals, and a detailed listing of bid items and quantities comprising the project. These notices are mailed to all qualified contractors and are published as official advertising in the legal organs of the various counties in which the projects are located.
Bids and Contracts
On the date established in the notices, proposals are opened and the totals announced in the presence of the general public, the State Highway Engineer and the State Highway Director.

The complete results are later tabulated and the correct low bidder ascertained. When the low bids are approved by the State Highway Director, and by the Bureau of Public Roads when Federal funds are involved, the contract and bond are prepared for execution by the contractor, bonding company, and the State Highway Director. When the contracts have been executed, this office authorizes construction and prepares detailed contract price estimates reflecting the funds to be provided by the Treasurer for the construction of the project and its engineering and supervision. These estimates are also used for auditing all statements for payment to contractors and as a basis for the project agreements with the Bureau of Public Roads for projects involving Federal funds.

Monthly Statemenis
In accordance with the specifications governing construction work, the field division offices submit monthly statements covering work accomplished on which payments to the contractors should be made. These statements are audited and then passed for payment to the Division of Finance and Audits. Upon completion of a project, the field division office submits the final statement, with complete details attached. This entire final statement is then audited, including all the tabulations and computations, to verify the quantities as shown on the face of the statement.

Siatements to Support Reimbursement Vouchers
This office prepares itemized statements for support of reimbursement progress vouchers and final vouchers on each project involving Federal funds. The statements in support of final vouchers show construction costs for each type and width of roadway, as well as cost breakdowns for signs, fencing, erosion control, landscaping, lighting, bridges, bridge culverts, underpasses, etc. Costs of preliminary engineering, construction engineering and supervision, utility adjustments, right-of-way, and other costs incidental to the project are also itemized in such statements. These statements are used by the Division of Finance and Audits in preparation and support of vouchers claiming reimbursement from the Federal Government.

112

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Electronic Data Processing
Electronic data processing is presently being utilized in the preparation of cost estimates, itemized proposal forms, and notices to contractors. Current planning is directed toward extending such utilization into a total contract information system for coordinating, controlling, and recording all requisite information for each contract, from receipt of construction plans to final acceptance and payment. Such system will automate the processing of most contract documents, expedite payments and reimbursements, and provide accurate, up-to-date information relative to each project.

Specifications
This division actively participated in preparation of the new Standard Specifications published January 1, 1966, with particular emphasis being directed toward their adaptability to electronic data processing. Preparation of all supplemental specifications and special provisions are coordinated through this office to insure consistency with other contract documents, and to confirm adaptability to electronic data processing.

Change Orders and Supplemental Agreements
This division is responsible for the proper handling of all changes that may occur in connection with the proper construction of the project. Contingencies frequently arise that could not be foreseen when the plans were prepared, and this division is responsible for the proper approval of such changes. These changes are handled by change orders, construction changes, 01' supplemental agreements. In cases where it is impracticable to establish unit prices for supplemental agreements, the work is done by force account and the force account bills are handled through this office for review. On projects involving Federal funds, approval of the Bureau of Public Roads is obtained for the changes occurring during construction, so that the Federal Government will participate in the increased cost due to such changes.

Division of Construction
W. C. SMITH. JR. State Highway Construction Engineer
The responsibilities of the Division of Construction include making inspections of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (hereafter called P. S. and E. inspections) of proposed projects; the design of rest areas along the highways; and the supervision of construction. The Division of Materials and Tests is under the general supervision of the State Highway Construction Engineer. The circumferential Interstate route around Atlanta, the Atlanta Freeway, and the projects of the Georgia Rural Roads Authority and bridge projects of the Georgia State Highway Authority are not under the supervision of this division.
Preliminary Plans
The Division of Construction cooperates and assists in the preparation of plans, coordinating with the Division of Bridges, the Division of Road Design, the Division of Surveys and Aerial Mapping, and the Division of Right-of-Way during the location and plan preparation. Liaison is maintained by this division between the field division offices and the affected divisions in the General Office wherever and whenever necessary. Liaison is also maintained with the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads in matters pertaining to the review of preliminary and final plans. Effective work in this function can and does result in acceleration of plan production, savings in man-hours and cost of plan production.
Field Inspection
When plan preparation has reached a point where further work in the Division of Road Design is impractical without risking duplication of effort or wasting of man-hours until all questions which have arisen are resolved between the various divisions of the Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads (on Federal-aid projects), the incomplete plans are delivered to the Division of Construction for field inspection. The P. S. and E. inspection is made by the State Highway Construction Engineer or his designated assistant in company with a representative of the field division office, a representative of the

122

Thirty-First Report, State Hightuay Department of Georgia

Bureau of Public Roads (on Federal-aid projects) and representatives of any other divisions deemed advisable. Detailed inspection on the site of the work is made and compared with the plans. A report is prepared and distributed to all affected divisions or agencies in which all questions at this time are resolved or a definite course of action established. Additions and/or deletions to the preliminary plans which the inspecting party deem advisable are recommended in the report. With this report in hand, all divisions and agencies can proceed in a uniform manner to complete the plans, specifications, right-of-way acquisition, and preparation of estimates and contract documents required to advertise the project for bids.

Construction Inspection
When a contract has been let and construction authorized, personnel from this division make periodic inspections of the contractor's work. These inspections continue throughout the period of construction and until the job is finally completed and accepted by the Highway Department, at which time the proper agency is notified that the road is to be taken over by them for future maintenance. One important objective of these inspections is to insure uniform interpretation and application of the specifications, and to produce uniformity in construction procedures throughout the State. On projects involving Federal aid, these inspections are often made in company with an engineer from the Bureau of Public Roads. On final inspections for acceptance of a project from the contractor, an engineer from this division is accompanied by a representative of the field division office. and on Federal-aid projects by a representative of the Bureau of Public Roads. The State Highway Construction Engineer reviews change orders and supplemental agreements proposing changes from the final plans, as well as force account bills and claims, and he recommends approval or disapproval of these.

Georgia Highway Authority Reconstruction Projects
This division cooperates with the Division of Maintenance in the implementation of reconstruction projects financed by bond issue of the Georgia State Highway Authority. P. S. and E. inspections are made with representatives of the other divisions who are concerned with the program. All of this activity is coordinated very carefully with the Division of Maintenance, as

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

123

that division is responsible for the expenditure of the funds entering into the reconstruction projects.

Rest A1"eaS on Interstate Highway System
The Bureau of Public Roads has recommended more and larger rest areas, with full sanitary conveniences, on the Interstate Highway System. Accordingly, the Highway Department has employed a firm of architects who have drawn plans for standard rest room buildings, and an engineering firm who have designed standard water supply and sewerage systems. Approximately 66 rest areas will be so equipped and many existing rest areas will be enlarged. Four of these will be let to contract soon, as well as 22 deep wells. Others will be let to contract as soon as locations have been selected and funds for construction become available. During this biennium, roadway construction for 16 rest areas on the Interstate System has been completed or is in progress.

Specifications and Construction Manual
This division is responsible for revising and updating the Standard Specifications. Specified sections, such as those pertaining to bridge construction, pavements, and materials are written by the divisions responsible for those items, and then the proposed specifications or revisions are forwarded to the Division of Construction for editing and subsequent approval by the Bureau of Public Roads.
The Division of Construction also is responsible for writing and editing the Construction Manual which is to be used in conjunction with the specifications.

Interstate Project Payrolls
This division is responsible for the examination of all payrolls on Interstate projects to insure that the employees are being paid the wages predetermined by the Secretary of Labor, as contained in each contract. When a classification has not been set up for any particular employee, then it is the function of this division to establish the proper classification as to wages for this employee. This is subject to scrutiny by the Department of Labor in Washington with a provision that the State's decision stands if no exception is taken within thirty days.

124

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

A complete payroll record, by weeks, is maintained on each Interstate project, and when the final statement is presented for payment, it is the function of this division to certify that payrolls have been submitted for each week during the life of the contract.

Record of Construction Progress
Through reports from the field, this division maintains a record of each construction project showing the date work was authorized, the date construction was started, monthly record of progress and per cent completed, date of completion and date of final acceptance.
A separate report is prepared each month for members of the State Highway Board. This report covers all active contracts outstanding and gives the name of the contractor. It also gives the number of active contracts under construction by each contractor, the location, time allowed, date work began, per cent complete, and any delays and/or extensions pertaining to each contract. This report thus enables each member of the Board to be informed of the efficiency of each contractor, and the status and progress of each active project which has been let to contract by the Department.

Procurement of Supplies
This division is responsible for the processing of all requisitions received from the Central Laboratory and from the Aerial Laboratory, as well as the requisitions originating in the Division of Construction. An accurate record is kept of these requisitions and every effort is made to expedite the delivery of supplies as requested by these divisions of the State Highway Department.

125

Division of Materials and Tests
W. C. SMITH, JR. State Highway Construction Engineer
W. F. ABERCROMBIE State Highway Materials Engineer
The Division of Materials and Tests is composed of several sections or units, each specializing in a specific field of investigation, design, inspection, sampling and testing and its work involves close cooperation with other divisions of the Highway Department from the beginning of a project to its completion and final acceptance.
Soil Surveys and Bridge Foundation Investigation
This division begins work on a project when the Soil Survey and Bridge Foundation Sections make preliminary studies to determine the basic soil and rock conditions for preparation of the plans. Soil survey data are used as guides in establishing typical sections and grade line. Information from the Bridge Foundation Section is necessary for design of bridge and culvert foundations. While these data are not actually shown on plan sheets, they are taken into consideration when grades, typical sections, and bridge foundations are being developed and the soil survey sketches and accompanying test data are made available to prospective bidders. In conjunction with the Soil Survey and Bridge Foundation Sections, the Geology Section investigates probable areas of potential landslide problems, the type and location of rock formations and possible quarry sites to determine the quality of rock for road construction.
A nalysis and Design Studies
Samples of probable sources of local materials and aggregates are submitted to the Atlanta Laboratory for analysis and design studies for portland cement stabilized bases, bituminous stabilized bases, asphaltic concrete and portland cement concrete pavements. Information from these analyses and design studies is used in the evaluation of final section design, quantities and economics of a project.

126

Thirty-First Report. State Highway Department of Georgia

Testing
After the contract is awarded for the construction of a project, the Central Laboratory in Atlanta, with its six branch laboratories (one in each field division), is called upon to make routine tests of the materials entering into the various items of roadway and bridge construction. This rather standardized routine testing at one time accounted for the major activity of this division, but now it represents only a small portion of the overall functions of the Division of Materials and Tests.
In addition to routine testing during actual construction, the Division of Materials and Tests works in very close cooperation with other divisions, particularly with the field forces, during the construction phase of a project.

Asphaltic Concrete Section
The Asphaltic Concrete Section assists at all central mixing plants, including those used for all types of soil-aggregatecement mixing. This assistance begins immediately after a contract is let but only after the contractor has selected the materials he will use. Actual designs are made on base course mixtures or asphaltic concrete mixtures to determine suitability of proposed materials and to ascertain correct proportions of each ingredient. As soon as a central mixing plant is erected on the job an inspection is made by a mechanical technologist to determine the working condition of the plant. All scales used on a project are checked for mechanical condition and calibrated for accuracy by a crew with a specially equipped weight truck. After the mechanical inspection and scales calibration, trained specialists are assigned to the project to calibrate the plant and assist the field forces while materials are being produced. After the plant is operating properly, these specialists return at periodic intervals to check the overall operation and assist the field personnel in any problems which may have arisen. In addition to these operations, this section operates three mobile laboratory trucks equipped to core and analyze base and pavement materials. The portable laboratories spot check, on irregular intervals, all projects.

Portland Cement Concrete Section
The Portland Cement Concrete Section has the responsibility for testing of concrete materials, design of concrete mixes and

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

127

supervision of concrete plants. Materials proposed for use in making concrete are submitted by the contractor and tested for quality requirements. These materials are then proportioned into design mixes and tested for design requirements to establish job mixes for each combination of materials proposed for use. Specialists from this section inspect ready-mix plants and hauling equipment to determine their adequacy for producing concrete. Ready-mix plants are rated for capabilities to produce concrete according to these plant inspections and instruction and examination of their personnel on the basic fundamentals of concrete production. Personnel from this section assist in calibrating plants and resolving any problems concerned with concrete. This section also maintains personnel at all prestressed concrete plants for sampling and testing materials and inspection of the manufacture of prestressed concrete.

Soils Section
The Soils Section has the responsibility for testing soil materials and design of soil-cement mixtures. This section performs routine testing of soils being used in construction and consolidation, strength and particle size testing for bridge foundation settlement and bearing capacity determinations. In addition, proposed materials for soil-cement construction are proportioned and tested for design requirements.

Receiving and Aggregate Section
The Receiving and Aggregate Section has the responsibility for receiving and dispersing all samples, for testing of all coarse and fine aggregates, physical testing of all metal materials and testing portland cement and concrete cylinders. All samples submitted to the Laboratory are received, opened and assigned a Laboratory number by this section here and directed to the various other sections for the tests required.

Chemical Section
The Chemical Section has the responsibility for testing all chemical materials, paints, fertilizers, bituminous materials and highway directional materials. Personnel from this section also sample and test raw materials and witness the manufacture of paint purchased by the State.

128

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Inspection Section

The Inspection Section has the responsibility for sampling and inspecting those manufactured materials, such as pipe, highway directional materials, paints, metal materials and fencing, which can more readily be pre-inspected prior to shipment to the project. To perform this work, inspectors are stationed in Atlanta and at five other strategically located points in the State. Their activities carry them into each of the States surrounding Georgia.

Administrative Section
The Administrative Section has the responsibility for handling all administrative and clerical duties of the division, including personnel placement, reports, correspondence, accounting and supplies. As the duties of inspection and testing are a part of the engineering costs of construction, this work is charged to the various projects according to the individual tests and inspections performed for each project. Using electronic data processing, each project is furnished monthly a completely itemized statement of test charges made for work during the month. This section also maintains in a separate warehouse a stock of approximately $100,000 worth of the many laboratory items, supplying the field divisions through regular procurement procedures common items of laboratory equipment and supplies.

Records Sampling Section
The Record Sampling Section was established in order to comply with a directive from the Bureau of Public Roads. It has the responsibility for sampling, on a random basis, the materials used in construction and measuring individual course thicknesses on all Federal-aid projects to ascertain whether the work was done in strict compliance with the plans and specifications. It must also check, at the completion of a project, all reports of all routine tests performed on materials during construction to ascertain that all materials used were properly tested and conformed to specifications. Sometimes, many years after the soil survey is made, representatives of this section are back on the completed project gathering final samples in an attempt to insure that the work has been done in strict conformity to the plans and specifications. Results of the record samples and audit of

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

129

test reports are certified as to the conformance to the plans and specifications prior to final acceptance by the Bureau of Public Roads.

Research and Development
The Division of Materials and Tests maintains a continuing program of research for development and improvement of new materials and test methods. Presently a project being conducted in cooperation with the Division of Highway Planning and the Bureau of Public Roads involves the evaluation of various pavement aggregates as to their susceptibility to resistance to skid after polishing during normal and extensive wear from braking action of vehicles. Other studies being conducted include evaluation of bearing materials for bridge members, and support value of subgrade soils and base and pavement materials.

Shop
To maintain its many trucks, drills, boats and other vehicles, along with the Joint Research and Testing Laboratory Building in Atlanta, the division operates a shop which can perform the many and varied tasks required for an operation of this magnitude.

Branch Laboratories
The six branch laboratories are a vital part of the overall activity of the Division of Materials and Tests. This division is responsible for all phases of the work at a branch laboratory and furnishes supervision and all equipment, materials and supplies necessary for the proper conduct of the work. The six laboratories are limited in the scope of their work only by space and equipment. Samples of soil, asphalt cement, fine and coarse aggregate and concrete cylinders may be submitted to a branch laboratory and receive exactly the same treatment as given to those materials at the Central Laboratory in Atlanta.

New Building
On February 29, 1956, when the present laboratory building on the Georgia Tech campus was dedicated, the Division of Materials and Tests had a total of 83 employees. To carry on its many duties and exercise its responsibilities, it now has 277 employees,

four boats, two marsh buggies and 71 trucks, including a weight truck, two mobile laboratories, six drills for record sampling, and ten multi-purpose drill rigs, costing from $15,000 to $30,000, used for soil surveys and bridge foundation studies.
Needless to say, the Division of Materials and Tests has long since outgrown its main laboratory building in Atlanta. The soil survey and bridge foundation work is now headquartered on Lambert Drive just off the Northeast Expressway. The Geology Section and the so-called Warehouse Stock AccountLaboratory Branch share the same address. But after many years of being crowded, the end now seems to be in sight. On May 17, 1966, bids were received for a modern laboratory building to be erected on Kennedy Road, Forest Park, adjacent to the new Maintenance Activities Building. The successful bidder, Batson-Cook Company, started construction on June 6, 1966, and completion is scheduled for January 1968. Cost of the facility will be approximately $2,500,000.
As an indication of the volume of work performed by this division, the following tabulation of number of samples tested is given.

Post Roads

All rural mail routes not on the State Highway System are classified as Post Roads. Farm-to-market roads are also constructed under the Post Roads program, so that generally the term "Post Roads" includes all roads not on the State Highway System. The improvement of these roads by the Highway Department is financed with 100 per cent State funds or with Federal-aid Secondary funds which are 50 per cent Federal and 50 per cent State. The roads and bridges constructed by the Georgia Rural Roads Authority are financed by bond funds, as outlined in a previous section of this report.
During the two years ending June 30, 1966, the Highway Department awarded contracts for the improvement of 3,094 miles of roadway on Post Roads not on the State Highway System and the construction of 162 bridges, with a total cost of nearly $47 million. A detailed tabulation of the projects placed under contract is presented elsewhere in this report, and a summary is given below.

Division of Maintenance
J. O. BACON State Highway Maintenance Engineer'
The Division of Maintenance has the responsibility for the preservation and upkeep of all roads and bridges on the State Highway System. The division is also responsible for the administration and the supervision of the many affiliated activities necessary to implement the program. The ultimate aim of this division is to economically maintain all of the highway facilities in the same or in better condition than that which existed at the time they were constructed or incorporated into the State Highway System, and to make such improvements or betterments in the system as can be accomplished within budgetary allotments for maintenance and reconstruction by maintenance forces.
It is impossible to list in this report all of the details and accomplishments of the Division of Maintenance according to their relative importance. In order to render maximum service to the traveling public, this division is subdivided into various units under General Office control for efficiency of operations. These units, their functions, and a brief synopsis of their activities are listed below.
General
The central office of the Division of Maintenance is located in the General Office in Atlanta and is headed by the State Highway Maintenance Engineer. His immediate staff consists of two assistants, a property control officer, a highway accounts executive, three landscape engineers, clerical and stenographic personnel and four maintenance engineers, each of whom acts in an advisory capacity in the administration and supervision of maintenance activities in each of the six field divisions. These field divisions are each under the direct supervision of a Field Division Engineer who supervises both construction and maintenance. The functions of the field divisions are outlined in more detail elsewhere in this report.

Georqia State Highway Authority Bond Program
The history and functions of the Georgia State Highway Authority have been given in a previous section of this report. The Division of Maintenance has the responsibility for programming roadway improvement projects of the Georgia State Highway Authority, and for establishing a system of controls governing the expenditure of the bond funds. Excellent progress has been made in the program during this biennium. During this period from July 1, 1964, to June 30, 1966, construction and engineering underruns plus interest accumulated on funds deposited for contract payments on construction projects enabled the awarding of additional contracts for the widening and resurfacing of 705.922 miles of roadway at a cost of $6,156,425.70.

Highway Property Control
The scope of the Highway Property Control Section of the Maintenance Division has continued to increase. Inventories of repair parts, tools, equipment, gasoline and lubricants of patrol sections and special outfits are continually made at irregular intervals. When items are found which are in excess of the needs of these units they are returned to stock in the field division shop stock rooms for reissue. The item-for-item swap system has reduced the surplus of items in these units to the point that excesses have become a rarity.
Spot checks are made at irregular intervals of the field division shop stock inventories. Complete inventories are also taken at irregular intervals. When discrepancies are discovered between the amount shown on the stock record card and the inventory, the causes of these discrepancies are determined and the stock room personnel are advised as to the reasons for such discrepancies. The stock room personnel are also instructed as to the proper procedures to be followed in order to improve their keeping of the inventory records and to eliminate recurrences of these errors. Studies of the arrangement of stock rooms are being constantly made. When better stock room layouts are found the stock rooms are rearranged in order to provide for more efficient operations. Quantities of stock items are continuously studied and lateral transfers between divisions are made when warranted. This procedure has reduced the statewide level of stocks maintained.

A marked improvement has been made in the keeping of time and cost records on all equipment which is the result of a continuing program of training. The forms used and the method of keeping these records have been improved. The forms and system now in use provide the Field Division Engineer and the Field Division Mechanic with more complete information. This improved system enables the man in the field to more easily record the necessary information. This system also greatly reduces the amount of time required by the field division offices to compile and consolidate the data.
A new Field Division Automotive and Equipment Maintenance Shop has been completed and is in operation in the First Division at Gainesville.
The Fourth Division Automotive and Equipment Maintenance Shop is located at Albany. A new office building for the use of the Division Mechanic and all other office personnel has been added to this facility. The addition of this office building has enabled the much needed expansion of the shop stock room. The remodeling of this stock room is progressing satisfactorily.
The Fifth Division has one Automotive and Equipment Maintenance Shop located at Glennville and another at Swainsboro. The Glennville shop stock room has been remodeled and the shop is considered adequate. The new shop building has been completed at Swainsboro and is now in use. One building has been moved from the old site to the new site for use as a warehouse building. The necessary storage facilities inside this building together with necessary external work to more adequately weatherproof this building are progressing as rapidly as possible.
The new Sixth Division Automotive and Equipment Maintenance Shop has been completed at Cartersville and is in operation.
All necessary equipment has been installed in all of the above shops for inspecting equipment for defects. This additional inspection equipment is necessary in order to insure that all State Highway-owned automotive equipment meets the standards required by the State Vehicle Inspection Law which became effective on January 1, 1965. State Highway Department personnel in each division shop have been examined by the State Patrol and are qualified and authorized to make the above inspections of all State Highway Department vehicles.

138

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

In all of the above shops, stock rooms have been designed to function as economically and efficiently as possible. Studies continue to be made of these installations with a view toward improving their efficiency.
The Douglas Shop and Warehouse use the same stock control procedures as those used by the field division maintenance shops.
Special stock accounts have been set up in each of the six field divisions. These accounts cover engineer stakes and laboratory supplies. Charges are made against the projects on which these items are used. This system permits the State Highway Department to recover the cost of such items from the construction projects on which they are used.

East Point Warehouse Discontinued
All activities at the East Point facility have been discontinued. The sale of this property has been referred to the State Purchasing Department for disposition, in compliance with the Resolution passed at the 1966 Session of the General Assembly (Georgia Laws 1966, p. 367) which Resolution amended the original authority to sell this property (Georgia Laws 1961, p. 291).

Maintenance Activities Building
The State Highway Department has a Maintenance Activities Building located on a tract of land owned by the Highway Department on Kennedy Road, Forest Park, Georgia. The activities located in this building are as follows:

Offices
State Superintendent of Signs Highway Maintenance Engineer in charge of equipment Chief Radio Engineer State Superintendent of the Centerline and Bridge

Regular Maintenance
The Field Division Engineers and their maintenance assistants have superintendents and foremen in charge of work crews who are assigned to perform work on specific sections of roadway. These crews are responsible for the normal maintenance of these roads and bridges thereon. Regular maintenance consists of machining dirt roads, patching failures in pavements, repair of shoulders on roads, maintaining adequate drainage, policing the rights-of-way, snow and ice removal from roads and bridges, litter clean-up, mowing rights-of-way, the erection as well as the fabricating, cleaning and maintaining of warning and directional signs and many other minor maintenance items.
The Division of Maintenance employs 650 State convicts under a contract with the State Board of Corrections for use on regular maintenance. A budget allocation of $1,200,000 per year is made to provide for this expense. Also the division employs 16 county convicts under agreement with the counties involved. No additional funds are provided for this item.
Two other very important aspects of regular maintenance are the division repair and equipment shops and the division sign shops in each of the field divisions. The repair and equipment shops are prepared to repair and service practically all types of road equipment used in maintenance. The division sign shops are equipped to fabricate most of the smaller road signs needed in the field as well as to erect and maintain the signs. Both shops are under the supervision of the Field Division Engineer and his maintenance assistant.

Roadside Parks
Georgia's roadside park program has been expanded and improved during this biennium. Since employees of the State Highway Department cannot work on or improve private property, it has been necessary to secure deeds or long-term (usually 10year) leases to suitable sites to be developed into roadside parks. Public-spirited citizens, civic clubs, garden clubs and other agencies have been most cooperative and helpful in procuring adequate sites on which to build roadside parks. All parks are built by and maintained by State Highway maintenance forces.
During the advent of the program, parks were built hurriedly. They were furnished with tables, grills, and trash cans. The

142

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

original construction consisted of grading, drainage, grassing, crushed-stone driveways, fencing, and selective clearing of the land. Today, the types of construction and facilities are more elaborate. Water has been provided in many of the parks. This is true with all rest areas built on Interstate highways. All of these Interstate rest areas have deep wells, rest rooms are being installed, and it is contemplated that eventually a full-time caretaker will be required for each of these areas.
The construction and maintenance of the parks are constantly being improved. Thousands of visitors use and enjoy the comforts and conveniences of the parks. Letters of commendation of the roadside parks have been received from every State in the Union and several foreign countries. Visitors from adjoining States advise that Georgia's roadside parks compare favorably with those of their own States and some park sites are superior.
There are 278 roadside parks and rest areas completed within the State and 20 more are under construction at this time. Eighteen parks were completed and added to the system during this biennium. No overnight parking within the parks is allowed. Playground equipment is located in some parks, but it is supplied solely by local citizens or civic groups.
The parks are inspected regularly by personnel of the Roadside Parks Unit and reports of their findings are furnished to the State Highway Maintenance Engineer for corrective measures to be taken by division maintenance forces.
Roadside parks vary in size from one to three acres and construction costs vary from $1,500 to $3,500 each. The larger parks have been constructed along highways that show the greatest traffic count or use. Rest areas along the Interstate System are far more elaborate. Due to the purchase of the land and the extra facilities, including deep wells and rest rooms, the cost of constructing these parks ranges from $30,000 to $50,000 each. No other phase of highway development with such relatively small expenditures has the universal appeal and approval as roadside parks.

Truck Weighing Unit
One of the major causes of deterioration of the highways is overloaded trucks; therefore, the State Highway Department has a program to enforce the laws relating to oversize and over-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

143

weight vehicles, which is administered by the Truck Weighing Unit of the Division of Maintenance.
A director, with a complete office staff located in the General Office in Atlanta, supervises the Truck Weighing Unit. The director, an assistant director, field supervisor and area supervisors direct the field activities of the unit.
The daily operations of this unit consist of enforcing all laws pertaining to over-dimensional vehicles. There are 19 mobile units, each consisting of a truck checker II, who serves as crew foreman, and five truck checkers. These units enforce the legal weight and size limitations on vehicles and are located in strategic positions throughout the State. These locations are reassigned daily by the General Office in Atlanta. Each crew has a set of portable scales which can be readily transported from one inspection point to another.
One of the duties of the Truck Weighing Unit is that of issuing permits for overweight and oversize vehicles. These permits are issued only when movements are of such nature that other forms of transportation are not available, and the cargo itself cannot be reduced, either in size or weight. Permits for single trips may be obtained by calling the General Office and applying by giving required information on the vehicles, such as tractor and trailer license numbers and the State in which issued, the origin and destination, dimensions over legal limits, and description of the load. When the General Office receives the required fee for the permit, the teleprinter, through Western Union facilities, then sends the permit to the applicant authorizing that person to travel. The proposed movements of these vehicles are carefully checked for possible obstructions and the ability of the road surfaces and bridges to withstand additional size and weight of the vehicle. Single trip permits, other than those issued by teleprinter facilities, are processed from application made either in the office in Atlanta, or from applications made by mail.
The Truck Weighing Unit employs 17 permit officers. Their duty is that of checking vehicles on the highways to determine if these vehicles have valid permits. The permit officers have the authority to make arrests for violations.
The legal gross weight of a vehicle is 73,280 pounds, and the overall maximum length is 55 feet. All permits are now $1.00.

Equipment
The Highway Maintenance Engineer in charge of equipment initiates requisitions for new equipment after the State Highway Maintenance Engineer approves the recommendations of the various divisions. It is his responsibility to check the specifications prior to ordering and to see that all new equipment delivered meets the specification requirements.
His records contain all necessary information for adequate property controls. The Highway Maintenance Engineer in charge of equipment maintains constant contact with the field divisions and their repair shops. He and the field inspectors under his supervision constantly work with the divisions for better care and servicing of equipment.
The following equipment was purchased for the Division of Maintenance during this biennium.
Year ending June 30, 1965 - 799 Units - $2,209,416.49
Year ending June 30, 1966 - 846 Units - $2,073,694.33
It is worthwhile to note that many of the equipment units were purchased from the Federal Government as surplus at considerable savings to the State.
Signs
A very important service for the convenience and safety of the traveler in Georgia is the fabrication and erection of road warn-

146

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

ing and directional signs. These signs are constantly having to be replaced due to natural deterioration, vandalism and other causes. The marking of detours is also a service of great importance to guide the traveler safely around new construction work in progress throughout the State.
The Forest Park sign shop is attempting in every way possible to aid in the upgrading of the statewide sign system to bring it into conformance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This unit is also involved in research to determine the most feasible way of renovating Interstate signs as this becomes necessary.
The sign shop is located at Forest Park, in the Maintenance Activities Building, where old signs are reclaimed and new signs are fabricated for distribution to the field divisions. This shop is under the supervision of the Superintendent of Signs and has an average crew of 11 employees. During this two-year period, the shop fabricated 142,107 new signs at a cost of $641,525 and reconditioned 1,257 old signs at a cost of $6,940, making a total of 143,364 signs costing $648,465.
By the utilization of all modern equipment, careful planning, and close supervision of production the cost of the signs has been kept to a minimum.
Erection of signs on the highways is supervised by the sign foremen located at Gainesville, Tennille, Thomaston, Albany, Douglas, Soperton, Jesup, and Cartersville. The necessary equipment and labor are furnished these foremen to erect all signs within their respective territories.

Radio Unit
In keeping with the continuing increase in activity and efficiency of the Division of Maintenance, the use of two-way radio has been expanded by the addition of 142 units-an increase of 32 per cent. Improved parts handling and distribution and newer, more efficient service techniques have made this expansion possible with no additional personnel to date.
Research and development programs have been instigated for intelligent evaluation of the unit's operation in an effort to determine any need for change or improvement and to investigate such technical advances in the electronics field as might prove

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

147

of value to the Highway Department. The development and construction of an electronic warning device for maintenance vehicles and a comprehensive communications coverage study of the entire system are two results of this program.
In response to a demonstrable need, a study is presently under way to determine the most feasible way to extend radio service to certain elements of the Highway Department other than the Division of Maintenance. As a part of this study, an effort to determine the value of Citizen's Band equipment in this application was made by working closely with the Division of Materials and Tests and other engineering personnel. The results, although incomplete at this time, would seem to indicate that this particular type of equipment is practical only in limited applications. The study is continuing.
In compliance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, all records and measurements required are kept up to date. The Radio Unit is continuing to work closely with all cities and counties requesting assistance in planning municipal radio systems. The unit also continues to work closely with State Civil Defense in order to be of service in case of emergency.

Centerline and Bridge Painting
During this biennium, the Centerline Unit increased the number of miles of roadway edge lines and this procedure found considerable acceptance with the public at large. During the year ending June 30, 1965, the Centerline Outfits painted 23,788 miles of centerline and barrier lines, applied 14,442 miles of edge stripes and prelined 369 miles of roadway. The total cost of paint and beads, personnel, supplies, and equipment repairs amounted to $963,665 for the year. Work in the year ending June 30, 1966, consisted of painting 22,977 miles of centerline and barrier lines, 16,910 miles of edge marking, prelining 236 miles, painting 416 ramps and 13 curbs, at a total cost of $1,156,266.
The Division of Maintenance has taken over from the State Toll Bridge Authority the maintenance of the Sidney Lanier Bridge at Brunswick, on which the toll fees have been eliminated. The painting of this large structure is under way and will require two to three painting seasons to complete.

During the year ending June 30, 1965, 27 bridges were painted and repaired, on which the total cost of paint and materials, personnel, supplies, and equipment repairs amounted to $157,793. Similar work during the year ending June 30, 1966, was performed on 14 bridges at a cost of $190,404, and the bridge painting crews began repainting the structural steel on the older portions of the Interstate System.
During the second year of this biennium, the Centerline Outfits began to apply edge lines to all roads 20 feet or more in width to the extent that funds were available, paying particular attention to those roads having higher traffic volumes. The completed older sections of the Interstate System needed centerlining and this work was undertaken. In addition to the centerline in existence, edge lines were applied on both sides. The Centerline Unit also began using black and white alternate stripes on concrete pavement to increase the contrast for the motorists. Also, where needed, the entrance and exit ramps are being edge-lined, particularly where the ramps are asphalt and have no curbs. An additional outfit has begun operations, utilizing the small centerline machines for marking the gores at entrance and exit ramps at interchanges.
The Centerline Unit is carrying on considerable research to devise means of obtaining lines or markers that will give better wet night visibility to the motorists. To this end, special reflectorized markers have been placed on certain sections of highway and additional ones will be tried to obtain this desirable safety feature.
The Division of Maintenance is now contemplating the purchase of an additional centerline machine to take care of the extensive operations required within metropolitan areas. The division has also purchased two paint heating systems to install on the centerline machines used in north Georgia to allow centerlining in colder weather and to shorten the drying time of the paint system.
The Centerline Unit has been assigned the responsibility of mud-jacking the older sections of concrete highways to bring them back to their proper elevation and to underseal these concrete sections to prevent the intrusion of water. Three mudjacking machines have been obtained and two additional crews will be organized to carry out this work.

Tire and Battery Inspection
The Tire and Battery Inspection Unit maintains records of the serial numbers of the tires and batteries assigned to each of the various pieces of automotive equipment owned by the Highway Department. It is also the duty of this unit to make inspection trips to the field to examine all tires and batteries to see that they have serial numbers and to examine all replaced tires to determine their fitness for recapping. If tires are determined not to be suitable for recapping, they are centrally assembled and periodically disposed of as junk.
In the event tires or batteries fail to meet the warranted service, it is the responsibility of this unit to require the vendor of such items to fulfill their guarantee.
During this two-year period approximately 22,205 tires have been branded and recorded in reports made to the Tire and Battery Inspection Unit. Also approximately 5,850 batteries have been entered in the records. This unit has inspected and classified 13,907 tires and 3,568 batteries have been classified for junk. In addition 1,510 tires have been recapped during this biennium.

Douglas Shop and Warehouse
The Douglas Shop and Warehouse was established for making repairs to and overhauling major units of equipment which could not readily and feasibly be handled by the division repair shops. The warehouse portion of this facility is used for housing and issuance of a revolving stock of repair parts and supplies.
The shop makes repairs to maintenance equipment of any type-heavy duty, automotive or miscellaneous. It also provides transfer truck service for hauling equipment in need of repairs to and from the Douglas Shop, in any area of the State. Each piece of equipment repaired is given a job number and covered by individual cost record. When the job is completed, the person or unit to whom equipment is assigned receives a copy of the invoice with itemized cost of repairs for his record.

Road Condition Bulletin
The Division of Maintenance issues a printed road condition bulletin every month, containing a State map on which the latest

detour information is indicated. The bulletin shows where const r uct ion is in progress, whether the road is closed or traffic may proceed; and if the road is closed , the temporary route that ha s been provided. The bulletin conta ins complete information as to the type of const r uct ion, the distance involved a nd directions as to detours. Eighteen hundred copies of the bulletin are printed and distributed each month. A mailing list is maintained of business concerns, motor clubs and individuals who have requested that the bulletin be sent to them regularly.

Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety
WILLIAM S. DERRICK State Highway Traffic and Safety Engineer
The Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety was created in February of 1966. It has the responsibility for the promotion of efficient movement of people and goods on all roads and bridges comprising the State Highway System. Its activities include specific efforts in the areas of traffic accident analysis; sign design and use; recommendations on application of pavement marking and traffic islands; right-of-way control including driveway permits; the development and implementation of standards in traffic signal control; engineering studies to assist the Department of Public Safety in the regulation of vehicular speed through provision of speed zones at appropriate locations; and establishment of minimum safety criteria for Highway Department employees, including appropriate employee safety training programs.
The accomplishments of the Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety are denoted through the acceptance of its recommendations and coordination with other divisions of the Highway Department. particularly the divisions of Highway Planning, Maintenance, Urban Projects, Road Design, Right-of-Way, and Construction.
Division Traffic Engineer
The several sections of the Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety are located in the General Offices with the exception of the Division Traffic Engineer. There is a Division Traffic Engineer in each of the six field divisions who is charged with the basic responsibility of data collection and interpretation for each of the major elements of traffic engineering and safety conducted in the highway program. His duties include field investigations for traffic signal problems, high accident locations, speed zone requests, maintenance of uniform standards in traffic control, evaluation of traffic congestion points, and the promotion of traffic engineering in construction areas as well as urban

and rural locations throughout the highway field division. He is also responsible for field investigations in connection with applications for driveway permits and right-of-way encroachments, and locations at which fatal accidents occur.

Traffic Signa,ls
The Traffic Signal Section deals primarily with the review of applications and reports submitted by the Division Traffic Engineer in connection with requests for use of traffic signal equipment of a specific design and type at a given location. Coordination of all traffic signal activity is conducted in this section as well as on-the-spot follow-up for particularly complicated problems. This section is headed by an assistant traffic engineer who is thoroughly familiar with traffic signals in both local and urban application as well as the warrants developed in the Georgia Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Sign Design
The Sign Design Section prepares plans for sign work let to contract, including regulatory, warning and guide signs, pavement markings, guardrail, and other controls needed to regulate and control the flow of traffic. In addition, this section also reviews construction plans including sign design and other factors pertinent to the safe and efficient flow of traffic.

Tmffic Markings and Islands
One section of this division is responsible for recommending the type and configuration of islands and pavement markings necessary to adequately channelize traffic flow. These markings are placed on the highways by the Maintenance Forces and they include raised markers, stop bars, legends in the roadway and crosswalks, each of which may be applied with paint or thermoplastic materials.

Traffic Speed Studies
The Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways provides for the designation of speed zones by the Director of Public Safety upon determination of the need for and extent of such zones by the Director of Public Safety and the State Highway Director, based upon engineering and traffic investigations.

The Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety makes the necessary speed control studies in connection with the establishment of speed zones. Such studies are undertaken by this division upon it own initiative, or upon the request of the county commissioners or municipal authorities. Recommendations are submitted to the Director of Public Safety and if he concurs therein, he issues an order establishing the speed zone.
Annual studies of traffic speed and speed trends on State highways are made. The information obtained is furnished to the Bureau of Public Roads and when combined with similar information furnished by other States is useful to the Highway Department in the establishment of highway design standards. The information is furnished also to the State Department of Public Safety for their use.

Traffic Accident Statistics
The Traffic Accident Section is in charge of an assistant traffic engineer, who has the responsibility for evaluating traffic accident statistics. Copies of all reports of traffic accidents reported by the Georgia State Patrol are furnished to the Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety by the Department of Public Safety. These reports are reviewed each month and any highway conditions reported by the State Patrol as having caused, or having been a factor in an accident are reported to the Field Division Engineers so that the conditions may be corrected immediately.
This section prepares monthly and annual summaries of accidents on the State Highway System. It also maintains on an annual basis information showing the comparison of accident characteristics between the Interstate System and comparable sections of roadway not on the Interstate System.

Right-oi-Way Control
The Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety processes applications for permits for driveways and grading on the rightsof-way of the State Highway System. The Division Traffic Engineer makes field investigations at the site of proposed driveways, permits are recommended by the Field Division Engineer and reviewed by this division prior to approval by the State Highway Engineer. The site and layout of drive-in theaters are checked for traffic safety.

Employees Safety
The Employees Safety Section, in charge of a safety engineer, was established for the purpose of developing standards and supervising training that will promote on-the-job safety to employees of the Highway Department.

Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Division of Traffic Engineering and Safety has coordinated the development of a spot improvement program in highway safety being carried on by the Highway Department in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads. The intention of this program is to assign high priority to those projects which, when completed, will substantially decrease potential hazards on the highways. These hazards are pinpointed as a result of past accident experience, research analysis, engineering judgment, and in some cases public complaint.

Inoentoru of Siqn and Junkuards
The coordinated efforts of this division with the Division of Highway Planning, Division of Road Design, and the Division of Right-of-Way have resulted in the establishment of an inventory of all signs that contain commercial advertising and all junkyards along the Interstate System and the Federal-aid Primary System. This information will be used in carrying out the provisions of the Federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965, covering the control of outdoor advertising and the control of junkyards in areas adjacent to the Interstate System and the Federal-aid Primary System, which is a function of the Division of Road Design.

Field Divisions
For administrative and operating purposes, the State is divided into six geographical divisions, with headquarters in Gainesville, Tennille, Thomaston, Tifton, Jesup and Cartersville. In each of these cities, there is a functional division office headquarters building, which has been constructed since 1957. At each location there are also division laboratory buildings and division maintenance repair shops in conjunction with the field headquarters building.
The field division provides liaison between the General Office in Atlanta and the actual highway construction and maintenance activities at the "grass roots" level. For this reason, the division office personnel and their field subordinates are eminently responsible to the taxpayers and the general public for the success of Georgia's highway construction and maintenance programs.
Organization
The Field Division Engineer is the administrative head of each field division organization. All instructions issued by the division heads and other officials of the General Office are transmitted to the field personnel, commercial contractors and others through the Field Division Engineer. Administratively, the field division office is separated into several sections, and generally an Assistant Field Division Engineer is the head of each section. Although the organization and operation of each field division may vary slightly from the other divisions, in general the functions of the several sections are as outlined below. These functions are performed for the Georgia Rural Roads Authority and the Georgia State Highway Authority as well as for the Highway Department.
Location Surveys
The Assistant Field Division Engineer for location surveys is responsible for the field survey work in the layout of all types of construction projects, and this work is accomplished by field survey parties. This section is also responsible for the roadway design and development of plans on Federal-aid Secondary,

162

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

State-aid and Post Roads projects, and projects of the two Authorities mentioned above. The Division of Bridges in the General Office is responsible for the design of all bridges included in projects on which the roadway design is accomplished in the field division office.

Right-oj-Way
The Assistant Field Division Engineer for right-of-way acquisition is the head of the Right-of-Way Section. This section is responsible for the acquisition of all rights-of-way, easements. etc., which are required for the construction of all types of roads. Rights-of-way are acquired in the name of the State for all projects on the State Highway System, including Interstate projects. Rights-of-way are acquired in the name of the county or the Georgia Rural Roads Authority for projects not on the State Highway System.
The acquisition of rights-of-way on Federal-aid Primary and Interstate projects involves the following: (1) the appraisal of the value of each parcel, including improvements, growing crops, timber, etc., and severance damages, if any; (2) the preparation of and negotiation with the property owners for options; and (3) the negotiation for signatures on the right-of-way deeds. These activities are conducted in conj unction with local county officials and professional real estate appraisers. At any time that the foregoing procedures break down, because of the failure of the property owner to negotiate satisfactorily, it is the responsibility of the Right-of-Way Section to recommend to the State Highway Right-of-Way Engineer that condemnation proceedings be instituted. This section also cooperates with the Division of Utilities, in the General Office, in negotiating with public utilities in the rearrangement of the facilities which are in conflict with the highway construction.

Construction
The Construction Supervision Section is responsible for the supervision of all construction projects, both those by commercial contractors and by the counties under county contracts. This supervision is accomplished through one or more Assistant Field Division Engineers and/or a Bridge Engineer. The actual supervision of these construction activities is conducted by person-

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

163

nel of the field residencies. Each field residency office is supervised by a Field Highway Engineer or a Resident Highway Engineer and includes various subordinate engineers, technicians, etc., depending upon the amount and the scope of the work assigned to the residency. The Assistant Field Division Engineers in charge of this construction supervision make routine visits to each active construction project, for the purpose of consulting with the residency personnel on unusual construction features, the correction of defects in the methods of construction and to make recommendations pertaining to contractors' operations. The Assistant Field Division Engineer is often accompanied by a representative from the Construction Division of the General Office and also by a representative of the Bureau of Public Roads on all Federal-aid projects except Federal-aid Secondary. The Assistant Field Division Engineers on construction also have the responsibility of attending all Plans, Specifications and Estimate inspections by officials from the General Office and the Bureau of Public Roads.

Mtiieriats
The Materials Section is responsible for the procurement of ail selected local materials used in highway construction and for the sampling and testing of all materials used in highway construction. The sampling of these materials is accomplished by technicians assigned to each residency and by technicians assigned to the Materials Section of the division office. The testing is accomplished by field technicians in the division laboratory, or by the General Laboratory in Atlanta, as required. This section conducts a continuing training program for field materials technicians including an annual clinic. It also checks, on a continuing basis, the procedures used by the field materials technicians and inspects contractors' base course and pavement manufacturing plants.

Office
An Assistant Field Division Engineer, often referred to as the Office Engineer, is responsible for the overall management of the field division office and usually acts as the executive officer for the Field Division Engineer. This section is responsible for all of the contract documents, monthly and final statements on which payments are made to contractors, and similar activities

at the division level. This section is responsible also for services and supplies activities, which include: (1) receipt and dispatch of mail; (2) telephone communication facilities; (3) maintenance of all files; (4) maintenance of stock levels of all field engineering and office supplies; and (5) complete building operation and maintenance, including janitorial service. In some divisions, the Office Engineer is responsible for personnel management and in other divisions there is a separate section for personnel management.

Maintenance
The Assistant Field Division Engineer on maintenance is responsible for the maintenance of all roads on the State Highway System in his division. This work is accomplished by maintenance patrol sections, which are assigned specific areas, usually though not always, within the geographical limits of a county. A patrolman is in charge of each maintenance patrol section and has a crew of men and equipment that are necessary to perform routine maintenance activities, such as road surface repairs, right-of-way mowing and weed cutting, etc., and keeping drainage ditches and structures open. In addition to these regular maintenance patrol sections, each division has several special heavy maintenance outfits, supervised by a superintendent or foreman, who are provided with heavy equipment to handle more difficult roadway and bridge repairs, such as widening of roadway shoulders, ditches, etc., asphalt paving and resurfacing, bridge painting and repairs of damages to bridges. The administration of the activities of the patrol sections and the special heavy maintenance outfits is conducted by the Assistant Field Division Engineer through Highway Maintenance Assistants, who are generally assigned geographical areas within the field division. This section is responsible also for the erection and maintenance of all roadway signs, and the repair and maintenance of heavy equipment, trucks, etc.

A.ccounting
In some field division organizations, accounting is a separate section and in others the accounting function is an additional responsibility of the Assistant Field Division Engineer on maintenance. This section processes all payrolls and travel expense statements of the field division personnel, both engineering and

Division of Highway Planning
OPERATED IN COOPERATION WITH U. S. BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS
LELAND S. VEAL State Highway Planning Engineer
The Division of Highway Planning is operated in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and is financed jointly with Federal and State funds. Since 1934, the various FederalAid Highway Acts of Congress have authorized the use of 1% per cent of all Federal-aid highway funds for engineering and economic studies. These Federal funds are matched by State funds in the same ratio as that applicable to construction funds. Title 23, United States Code, specifies that these funds may be expended for engineering and economic surveys and investigations for the planning of future highway programs and the financing thereof, for studies of the economy, safety, and convenience of highway usage and the desirable regulation and equitable taxation thereof, and for research necessary in connection with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of highways and highway systems, and the regulation and taxation of their use. The funds are available for planning and research only, and may not be used except for the purposes outlined above.
The principal functions of the Division of Highway Planning consist of conducting fact-finding studies, economic investigations, fiscal studies, inventories of highways, traffic surveys, urban transportation studies, preparation of State and county maps, and recording the history of road development. Reports and recommendations prepared on the basis of these studies and records aid the Director, the State Highway Engineer, and other officials of the Highway Department in the formulation of policies and the intelligent planning for future highway needs. Much of the work as carried on by this division has been made a prerequisite of approval for Federal-aid construction projects.
Traffic Surveys
Traffic counts are being made for 24 hours, every day in the year, by the use of automatic traffic recording machines at 61 continuous count stations located at strategic points throughout

168

'Fhirt y-Fnst Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

the State. Thirty-nine of these locations are in rural areas and 22 are in urban areas.
As of July 1, 1966, a feasibility test was being conducted with four continuous count stations using a computer in the Division of Highway Planning, in conjunction with a switched telephone network, to automatically retrieve and electronically store continuous count traffic data. The development of this system of data telemetry will eliminate former requirements for manual retrieval, coding and keypunching of continuous count information. As a result of the success of the test, nine additional continuous count stations will be incorporated into the telemetry system by January 1, 1967.
In conjunction with the continuous count stations, some of which have been in operation for 28 years, 146 seasonal control stations are being operated. These stations are operated for a period of seven days during each of the 12 months. These data, along with the data obtained from the continuous count program, permit the development of seasonal variation patterns for every State and Federal-aid System road section in the State.
In addition to the above, 24-hour coverage counts are made at some 11,500 rural locations and 5,500 urban locations. These data are used to produce an estimate of annual average daily traffic for all sections of the State Highway System, as well as county roads and city streets. The computer listing of this information is made available by county or city to the general public at a nominal charge. Also, each year a traffic flow map of the State Highway System is prepared and sufficient copies are printed for distribution to Chambers of Commerce, business concerns and others. Copies of the map may be obtained from the Division of Highway Planning upon request.
A truck weight study is conducted in August and September of each year, at 12 strategic points throughout the State, to obtain data on truck types, changes in truck traffic volumes and weights, loading practices, etc. These data are furnished to Highway officials and the Bureau of Public Roads and when combined with similar data from other States are used to establish trends in traffic classification, in the weights and weight distribution of commercial vehicles, and quantities of goods transported.
This division gathers the necessary traffic information at locations of new construction projects to furnish required design related traffic factors to the Division of Road Design and Division of Urban Projects for their use in the development of plans

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

169

for Federal-aid projects. This work consists of preparing schematic diagrams in strip map presentation together with diagrammatic sketches of each major intersection upon which is shown the estimated future daily traffic and design-hour volumes for the next 20 years on the Interstate and Primary Systems, and for the next 15 years on the Secondary System.

Urban Transportation Planning Studies
Transportation planning in urban areas continues to receive special study by the Division of Highway Planning. Such studies are comprehensive in nature and are established as continuing transportation planning programs in cooperation with the governing bodies of the areas concerned as well as with the city and regional planning commissions. These planning studies include a review and determination of travel patterns and traffic volumes, a review of traffic control features and the physical street system, inventory and projection of population, land use, and economic data with projections of these data to future design years. A plan is then developed for an integrated transportation system and a program for its implementation cooperatively by the local governments and the State Highway Department.
During this biennium, work has been performed on planning studies in Milledgeville and Cedartown, and a study in Waynesboro will be begun during the latter part of 1966.

Planning in Cities Over .50,000
In the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, Congress declared it to be in the national interest to encourage and promote the development of transportation systems, embracing various modes of transport in a manner that will serve the States and local communities efficiently and effectively. To accomplish this objective, the Bureau of Public Roads is directed to cooperate with the State highway departments in the development of longrange highway plans and programs which are properly coordinated with plans for improvement in other affected forms of transportation and which are formulated with due consideration to their probable effect on the future development of urban areas of more than fifty thousand population. The Act provides that after July 1, 1965, a Federal-aid project in an urban area of more than fifty thousand population shall not be approved unless

such project is based on a continuing, comprehensive transportation planning process carried on cooperatively by the State Highway Department and the local communities. The six cities in Georgia with population of more than fifty thousand are Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah. Rossville. Georgia, is included in the urban area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the transportation study in that area is being conducted in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Highways.
During this biennium, transportation studies were started in Albany and Columbus, and the studies in Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Savannah have been continued. These studies are being conducted in cooperation with the local governmental agencies and in each instance an agreement has been entered into between the State Highway Department and the city and county officials of the metropolitan area, outlining the phases of the work for which each agency is responsible.
The Augusta study includes the city of North Augusta and the County of Aiken in South Carolina, and the South Carolina Highway Department is participating. The Columbus study includes Phenix City, Alabama, and the Alabama Highway Department is participating.

Road Inventory
A complete inventory of all rural roads in the State was finished in July 1954. A reinventory was completed in all counties in 1961 and a second reinventory in all counties was finished in 1966. The road inventory includes the measurement of all public roads in the State, in accordance with an Act of the General Assembly of 1951, as outlined in a preceding section of this report. This work is essential to keep the records up-to-date and has provided the field data required in the preparation of revised county maps.
Information was obtained on each road to show the type of grading, base and surface; the width of surface, roadbed and right-of-way; topography and culture in sight of the road, such as farm units, dwellings, schools, churches, cemeteries, airports, lakes, streams, railroads and public parks. The information obtained on bridges includes type of substructure, type of superstructure for each span, length of spans, and other data.

172

Thirty-First Report, State Highway Department of Georgia

Information was obtained also on each railway-highway crossing, indicating the sight distance, kind of obstructions which restrict clear views, and type of protective devices. These data will be useful in [he preparation of programs for protecting the most dangerous railway crossings by flashing lights. gates or separation structures.

Maps
Maps of all counties in Georgia, prepared by this division, are available to the public at twenty-five cents each, to cover the cost of printing. The maps are revised on the basis of the road inventory and show all roads, streams, railroads, municipalities, militia districts, and items of culture as mentioned above.
The value and usefulness of the county maps are evidenced by the large demand from individuals, business and engineering concerns, and governmental agencies. These maps are also of inestimable value in carrying on the various activities of the Highway Department.
The official map of the State Highway System, issued for free distribution, is prepared by this division and is revised yearly. This map is lithographed in colors and wide distribution is made throughout the United States to tourists and others who plan trips to Georgia.
Maps are being prepared for all incorporated places in the State. Maps of 428 municipalities have been finished and are available for sale to the public.

Road Life Study
The Road Life Study has as its objective the assembly of records of highway construction and retirement on the State Highway System. This study provides a complete record of every road and bridge on the State Highway System constructed by the Highway Department since its organization in 1916, as well as roads and bridges constructed by the various Authorities. These records show the amount of expenditure for each type of construction, a detailed description of each road and bridge by location, type of surface, length, width, year built, and all subsequent retirements and reconstruction.

Thirty-First Report, State Highway D'epartmeut of Georgia

173

Fiscal Study
Each year, information is compiled on the revenue, expenditures and outstanding bond indebtedness for roads and streets of all counties and municipalities in the State. These data are obtained directly from the records of the local governmental units. Monthly and annual statistical reports are prepared for the use of Highway officials and the Bureau of Public Roads on motorvehicle registrations, highway-user taxes, and highway expenditures.

Records of Highway Systems
This division assembles factual data required by the Bureau of Public Roads in justification of all projects included in the various Federal-aid programs and prepares reports to substantiate requests for additions to or changes in the Federal-aid Systems. Records are kept of the State Highway System and the various Federal-aid Systems. An annual report is compiled, of which copies are furnished to the Bureau of Public Roads, giving information as to the mileage and surface type of roads constructed during the year and the total mileage, by type of surface, of the State Highway System, county roads, and the Federalaid Systems.
Tabulations are made of the State Highway System by routes, counties and Congressional Districts for use by other units of the Highway Department and the State and local governments. A tabulation of the official mileage of the State Highway System and other public roads in each county is furnished to the State Treasurer as of the beginning of each fiscal year, which is used as a basis for the apportionment and disbursement of the State funds appropriated by the General Assembly to the counties for construction and maintenance of roads.
As instructed by the Director, this division prepares the required official documents, accompanied by sketch maps, for execution by the Director, covering changes in the State Highway System, including relocations and abandonments due to new construction.

Highway Needs Study
The Statewide Engineering Study of Highway, Road and Street Needs, started in 1962, has been continued during this biennium.

The overall study includes a comprehensive appraisal of all highways, roads and streets in Georgia to determine present and future needs for construction, maintenance and administration of the highway network for a 20-year period. This phase of the study is being performed by personnel of the State Highway Department. Although the principal responsibility for conducting the study was given to the Division of Highway Planning, all of the Field Division Engineers, their office staffs and resident engineers were called upon to assist with field appraisals and cost estimating. This portion of the study, commonly referred to as the Needs Study, is nearing completion and a report will be published early in 1967 to present the findings of the study.
A further phase of the overall project is a complete study of present financing procedures for highways, roads and streets and an evaluation of the State's ability to meet present and future needs as determined by the Needs Study. This portion of the project, referred to as the Fiscal Study, is being conducted, under contract, by Wilbur Smith and Associates, a nationally recognized firm of consulting engineers. The findings and recommendations of the Fiscal Study will be published in a separate report prepared by the consultant, which will be completed in January 1967.

Highway Research Projects
The highway research projects listed below are being financed with Federal-aid 1% per cent planning and research funds and State-matching funds.
The Severance Damage Study has been described in the section of this report under Division of Right-of-Way, and the Skid Resistance Study has been outlined under the Division of Materials and Tests.
The Highway Management Study, conducted by Highway Management Associates of Madison, Wisconsin, and described in the section of this report under Director of the Highway Department, was financed with planning and research funds.
Under a cooperative agreement between the State Highway Department and the U. S. Geological Survey, the latter agency is conducting a small watershed study. This consists of investigations of the water resources of Georgia, with special reference

Division of Finance and Audits
W. M. WILLIAMS Secretary and Treasurer
The Secretary and Treasurer of the State Highway Department is the administrative head of the Division of Finance and Audits. It is his duty and responsibility to receive, protect, and disburse all funds coming into the Highway Department.
The Division of Finance and Audits maintains an adequate system of financial records and an internal audit system. It prepares, quarterly, a comprehensive budget under which the Secretary and Treasurer approves all funds for the purchase of equipment, materials, supplies and services before such purchases are authorized by the Director of the State Highway Department. This division prepares all financial reports, including a monthly balance sheet with supporting data which reflects the current financial condition of the Highway Department and the available resources to the end of the current fiscal year. It prepares biennial budgets for submission to the General Assembly.
The accompanying statements reflect the financial condition of the Highway Department for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1965, and June 30, 1966.
The balance sheet, reflecting assets, liabilities, and capital investments, is identified as Exhibit "A".
Exhibit "B" reflects the revenue from all sources accruing to the Department and amounts appropriated to each of the various activities for the years 1965 and 1966.
The actual receipts and expenditures for the periods are presented in Exhibit "C".
A comparison of the receipts and expenditures for the past ten-year period is found in Exhibit "E".
The records are subjected to a thorough annual examination by the State Auditor, who has found the financial activities fully recorded and the accounting procedure to be sound and adequate.

Electronic Computer Center
The Electronic Computer Center, located in the DIvision of Finance and Audits, has experienced a steady increase in demand for computations of every nature. A Current Billing - Concurrent Audit System has been implemented and accepted by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and was put into effect July 1, 1966.
The Division of Contracts and Estimates has begun utilizing the computer for preparing notices to contractors, cost estimates, and proposals, and expects to expand into bid checking and price estimating based on historical data.
Engineers are using the computer extensively to solve more varied and complex problems. Design and final earthwork quantities are being derived for the field divisions, the Division of Road Design and the Division of Urban Projects. The Division of Bridges uses the computer for many calculations incident to preparation of plans. Both the Aerial Survey Laboratory and the General Laboratory find the computer indispensable for solving tedious mathematical problems.
New equipment is on order, to be delivered when the addition to the Highway Building is completed. This equipment can be readily expanded to accommodate new applications and expansion.
