More than a hillion dollars will be went on city street and ruraL highway construction In 11)22, according to the latest esti mated of highway -engineers. Of tills, more than $tib0,000,0f|9^1ll go for rural highway s and the balance for city streets. _ _ Because, of the rapid increase in tlie use of motor vehiclrs, both for pas senger and freight transportation, stare highway officials estimate that it will be at least five years before the coun try catches up with the demand for improved roads. With road improvement proceeding at such a rapid rate, highway engineers see an economic falla<ry in the tendency of *t>me communities to permit the building of what are readily re<*og nized as temporary ]>aveinent type*. The day of the gravel ami macadam roads for heavy traffic Is past, they say. The maintenance expenditures which such m?ds entail make them, iu tlw> long run, far more expensive than the permanent type*. In every Instance engineers are contending for the best possible type because they realize that high first cost means long er service and consequently, greater economy.
