EXPENDED $4.127,889 !? ROADS New York State Has Appropriat ed $1,000,000,000 for Im proved Highways In 1911 Georgia road building by counties and convict labor furnished by the State, in dollars amounted to 14,127,899. The average cost per mile uf public roads was 249.15, or $1.58 per inhabitant. Georgia has no highway commis sion or State engineer, nor does the ' State directly engage in road con struction except to furnish the State convicts. In 1911, 4,744 convicts were employed in road construction work. The State, however, hus what is known as an advisory board of the Geological Survey, composed of tho elective officers of tho State and a I Geologist Department in charge of a j State Geologist This department col lects statistical information relative to the public roads und highways of the State. The 1912 report, the last available, shows that out of a public road mile age in Georgia of 83.89C, there have within the last few years been.built seven miles of shell, thirty-five miles of macadam, 235 miles of roads sur faced with gravel and chert and 4,~ 077 miles surfaced with sand-ciay ' mixtures. ! Nevada has no highway department j and contributes nothing toward the building of roads. In 1911 the legis I lature appropriated $20,000 for road work to be done by convict labor nnd j a road was built between Carson City, j tbe capital, and Reno. 3u 1913 the ! legislature appropriated $30,000 to be ! used in the construction of 1.100 miles J of "good roads," but Governor Oddie j vetoed it because the ppcproprlation I was so utterly insufficient Uo construct ! j the mileage of roads the legislature I had in contemplation, although road ! building in Nevada Is made relatively ! cheap by the reason of tine natural climatic and soil condition:!. Annual Automobile Tax. West Virginia has constructed no roads from State funds on|y. In 1909 tho legislature created a State road department and made a levy of 1 cent per $100 valuation. Political condi tions changed and the following ses sion of the legislature abolished the la?,' and prorated the money raised by tbe tax to tbe various counties, creat ing a State road bureau and chief road a State road bureau and. chief road engineer under the control of the State University, v which bureau has advisory authority over all public roads within the State. An annual automobile tax of *l? is collected. Permanent road building materials used in West Virginia is brick, con crete, tarvia, bituminous, penetration macadam, bitulithic and water-bound macadam. The latter is most univer sally used there on account of its ranging from only $60 to $3,000 per " mile. New York State originally begun Its direct road work by tbe creation of a highway commission of three, and providing for a bond Issue of $50, 000,000 to be used in road construction. In 1913 the legislature abolished the three-headed commission and substi tuted In its place a .single commission er^- and provided plans for the direct appropriation of another $50,000,000 to be used in, further construction of highways, making a total thus far provided of a round $1,000,000,000, all of which has not yet been spent V'-he newer New York has divided f the State into nine. ..divisions and . places a division engineer in active : supervision of the work and main tenance in each (Hv)bI on. , ' New York's Plan of Operation. ? Highways are classified as "State Highways,", boing those constructed solely at State expense; ''county high ways," constructed jointly by Stete, county and town; "town highways," constructed by the towns with the aid of the State. The highway commis sioner receives a salary of $10,000 ?er year. The first deputy receives 6,000, the second and third deputies $5,000 each. Other employes receive correspondingly' proportionate com i. pensetlon. The nine division engl , neors each receive $4,000 per annum. The law requires the appointment of a county road superintendent, and also a 'town superintendent if high ways. ' The duties of these ; officers are to supervise and maintain the roads,' highways and streets, bridges ' ' and culverts within their respective - Jurisdictions. . The State is building a system of cardinal trank line and market roads 1 at its own expense. It contributes-to r the building of roods by the counties s and. towns -based upon assessable [> values per mile of road. The law also . provides for tho use or convicts and prison labor. ' The first deputy commissioner is ? In charge of construction work, the 1 second of maintenance and repairs, the third of town highways. State and county highways com pleted under contract and ready for contract totnl G.109 miles, Plans are made for completing. 6,000 additional miles. I State Aid Plan la Colorado.

Mack King, Supervisor.Helton Ross Mitchell .Helton .;. Iva teni of primary State roads of 5.000 miles and about 30,000 miles of coun ty roads. She has neither made direct appropriation nor issued bonds for road work, but at the time e? her ad- j mission to the union by congressional grant, 500,000 acres of land became public property, the proceeds of which were to be used in internal improve ments, and the income from the Bale and rental of these lands is being ex pended by the State highways com missioner for permanent road im-1 provement. By a State aid plan she contributed to each county an amount equal to that expended by the county on what are classed "secondary roads," primary roads being a part of the 5.000 miles State highway system and iirst to be improved. The highway department is in charge of a State highway commis sioner and an advisory board, or com mission, of five members, one from each of five districts of the State. The quite usual sp?cifications, rules and regulations as to authority over pub lic roads Ib in effect. There is an automobile and motorcycle license fee based upon horsepower, running from a minimum of $2,50 up. The commis sioner receives un annual compensa tion of $3,000 and serves for four yearn. The secretary of the advisory board must be a civil engineer and receives $2.000. The advisory board receive no compensation, except trav eling and other expense while attend ing to duties of otilce. Better results might be expected, however, should the board be paid per diem and ex-* pense. The State expended about $000.000 In 1913 for road Improve ment. In the "Old Dominion." The Old Dominion State, by legisla tive appropriation from the general funds, sets aside approximately half a million dollars annually for the construction of public highways. The roads are built on a county aid plan, whereby the county Is required to cxnend an amount equal to that con tributed by the State. Convicts are worked on the roads and $145,000 per annum is appropriated for the main tenance of the State convict board forco. Sixty thousand dollars per year is required to maintain the Vir ginia State highway department, at the head of which is a State high way commissioner, appointed by the governor for a six-year term. The remaining three members of the com mission are deans of the engineering departments of the University of Vir ginia, Virginia Military Institute and Virginia A. & M. College. Their highway department was or ganized in 1906. Since that time the State has paid ono-half the expense of construction of 2,916 miles of hard surface road and I7? bridges. Of this 855 milea of road and 90 brid?es have been built during 1914. The State receives from a license tax on automobiles, about $115,000 per an num, which now goes into construc tion work, but which is to be shortly Bet aside for maintenance work.
