Statement Showing How Many Miles of
? lto^dway i'un lis tluilt In Thla State.
Columbia, Ma/eh 20,? Thtt:Stat?' High
way OwnilMob Hiiuauuml tod??y the
amount of federal c<>ad buildiivK funds
ai>|K>r(iiMio<l to each county lu the State
and issued at ths noue time au instruct
ive and interesting statement interpret -
m?. the apportionments of mn? "V i"t'>
terms of , road mileage {or two good
types of road beds, South Caroliua'a
share of federal funds for road build
ing- ^mounts to $3,tmU5!.0t. The
State Highway Commlssiou has appor
tioned this among thf forty-six counties
of the* State on the ba*t* of their popu
lation. area, total taxable property and
their mileage in the proposed State high
way system.
Before the federal fund# for road cou<
struct ion become available, they must be
covered, under present condttion*, dol
lar for dollar by the counties. There
f..?v, the federal funds plua the county
funds will provide n total of $0,132,
308.08 for road coustructiou in this
?State.
Based on au ^ estimated cost of $22,
000 per mile, this sum will build 280.U
miles vf wumtc roadway iu the State.
Assuming that top-noil, rwul will cost
f3,600 per mile, a total of 1,80&,5 mllae
of this excellent type of road can be
built with the federal w fund* available ;
now plu.H the money which the counties
must add to them.
The significance of fliesc figures on the
road mileage .which .tajaL^be' w gotten for
$0,812,308.08 is apparent from the fol
lowing facts.
for this Kiwn abpot trwo-thlrds of
the total mileago In the proposed Stat^
highway system, Unking all the county
seats, could' be correctly graded and lo
cated and surfaced with top-soil or sand
clay, affording satisfactory year-round
tioads for general purposes over which
farmers could haul their fertilisers in
tfrsTaprfi* Wit&ottT'fcoggtag
which rowtetetu could Uke their pleas
ure .all winter. ]
For this sum one concrete road could
bo built across South Carolina, ruuntng
cither from tho mountains to the coavt
or from the Savannah river to' the
North Carolina line.
The estimated cost* per mile for con
crete or 'top-soil roads. giv? %bovo are
ib?ged on an ? .allowance ,of . $2,000 per
mile for the cost of grading, culverts,
etc.; $1,500 per mile for snrfaclng with
concrete. These estimates are based on
averages and will not hold good for all
caw*. Therefore, the State Highway
CoimniKMon'H .wmpMatlon on mileage
which can be secured with the federal
funds after adding State or county fww*
i? an approximation and, while accur
ate enough' to give an adequate idea
in terms of miles of what can be done
with the road building -funds, ft is po%
to be regarded *as literally correct to
the tenth of amlle.
.Furtthermjorei it was announced at
the-oSco of the commission when these
figures were made public that the fig
ures <m costs were given on concrete
and top-soil roadways because tb?*e two
classes were typical and not because
the commission intended to intimate that
it would recommend the bulMihg of
these two type*. Federtf aid
given to buiW other types road be
sides top-soil and concrete.
Aft^r the commission gavb out t^e
ot federal money apportioned to
each county for road building and in^
terpreted these srums into ternurof mil
eage for top-soil and concrete roaJways,
it was said that road builders might
i*? rki? ^ vn ^p9M4rflvly lryy
than $2,000 pr r mile for grading where
sand day roads .are built for the rea-1
? in that itbis * type of road is. suitable j
chiefly- for* the coastal section 'of the
State where the topography Would ne
cessitate less grading.^ Hence where
sand-clay roads could be built , instead
of top-eoil more mileage could probably
b4 obtained for the same money.
Besides the $3,106,164.04 for ( road
building which Congress has appropriat
ed there is also available federal funds
to the sum of $760,000 for building
bridges, which, Mke the amount of money <
for building roads, will be available Vhen
the counties in SoUth .Carolina coref^ft]
dollar for dollar.
