FEDERAL All MUST BE Washington, D. C., Feb. 4.?". stitch in time saves nine," an when this is applied to the repa 01 ronprovea /uguwajra, ib iuv? the saving of hundreds of thoi sands of dollars a year to taxpa: v ers. Building the highest types of in proved highways and then promptl forgetting them, expecting them t provide their full measure of ec< nomic service without further a tention, must stop. This, in effoc is the demand of the United State government as expressed in the rt cently enacted federal -aid bill pre iding $75,000,000 for road build tag in 1922. The provision for compulsor maintenance in the new federal ai bill is one of its most rmportan features. In harmony with th spirit of President Harding's firs message to congress, in which h deprecated the failure to give prop er attention to ^roads after cor struction; the new act lays a heav; ^ penalty upon fadlure to maintaii roads to be constructed with fedei al add. , * ' The act defines "maintenance''' r its broadest sense as "the constan 9 snaking of needed repairs to pre serve a smooth-surfaced highway." To insure that each- highway aid ed by the government will receiv J. , - that kind of maintenance, the ac 'h provides that the .secretary of ag riculture .shall serve notice upoi any state which allows a road i? ? -? l?y?lr nf moinfiintn/'P. flillW JLV1 AC?VCV VA ? If within 90 days after notice thi proper attention has not 'been givei , to the road, the secretary is au V. thorized to proceed to maintain i l* himself, and to charge the cos agsinst the federal funds alloted t that state. The secretary is furthe - " erdeced to refuse to approve an; other project in the state until th amount spent for maintenance o: tte project in question has been re landed by J&e state. When th ittoney is paid lb Act it is to be re apportioned among all oAllfe state so that the delinquent state wil lose all but a small portion.

CAL VERT. 2tc. 2, 6;2-13 JROADS : MAINTAINED I crack at irregular intervals, and these-cracks must be treated to keep the pavement from quickly disintegrating. Bituminous pave ments may roll up and develop bad spots occasionally, which spots must be cleaned out and restored. In brick pavements there are times when some structural defect needs to be remedied to prevent impair ment of the surface. In the case of secondary pavement types, includ ing the macadam family, periodic restoration and reconstruction are necessary since the advent 'of motor driven vehicles. It is, therefore, to the interest of th? various states: 1. To consider, in the selection of pavement types, the question of cost of maintenance over the entire life of the pavement, rather than .the first cost alone. 2 To keep all pavements in a good state of repair. - .3. To keep complete, detailed and accurate records of mainte nance costs on all types of pave ments. A number of states, as for ex ample Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York already are keeping such maintenance records, separa ting the oost on the surface proper from the cost on ditches, shoulders, (bridges ahd signs. , In Illinods, for instance, brick and#concrete types are listed as x follows in the last report of the 5 state highway commission, the fig ures showing .the average cost for one year of requiring the surface 3 of a mile of 18-foot roadway: v Concrete, cement $42.24 t Brick, all types, __$ .33 t In Ohio the records, are even 3 more complete, revealing the fol r lowing maintenance costs for one y year and per mile of aH wtidths: e Bridk, rigid types, $ 23. f Concrete, cement $ 98.
