STATE HIGHWAYS!
i
$B40,000,000 Appropriated To Help j
Stules Build i ?4,1 o I - Mile Systemj
of Highway* Throughout United |
State? |
By E. E. DUFFY
Federal aid road- are forming a(
network of highways over the coun-l
try that will bring all portion? of 1
the United States within hailing dis-|
tance of each other. The ;j>t :!
J amount of money chat has been ap- j
' propriatexi or will be authorized
appropriation to build this network j
is $?40,000,000.
Nearly 75,000 miles of federal aid}
roads were completed or under con-}
structioh according to the latest i
figures obtained June 30. last. A ho j
according to these figures the system
will include nearly L8f>,000 miles of j
rnori i"Vi on oil ?" *"v""
.... ...... (in. ,
posed are completed. To build these
'75,000 miles of road, more than a.
* billion and a quarter dollars ha-!
been expended. Of thi.- sum -I-1.j
per cent was spent for concrete!
highways, IS.7 per cent for grave! 1
and S.3 per cent for bituminous!
macadam; the rest of the money wast
divided into smaller portions among I
other types of roads.
According to the conditions under!
which the money for road: is given i
each state, it mutt keep up its own]
system. The plan briefly is this: j
If any state fails to maintain its;
roads the secretary i.f agriculture Ssl
authorized to repair the highway.-!
and charge the com of the cop'.i;sj
to the ar.'.otu.i of. rat::.;, .l.~ fc.,..u"j
government ha- on hand of this pur-1
V. itcular state's portion. The money J
tin::-, spent is deducted from the j ,
money the state bus coming and at! ,
aliotmdr/ts are withheld from this J
particular state until the money has
beer, paid bach, .When the cost is
refunded it is reapportioned among
all the states so that the state fail- ,
ing to kec-p up the roads loses al! but
a sir,ail sum.
Thus the states are anxious to
build loads that will require a minimum
amount of maintenance. For
this reason nermunent roads, such as i
concrete are preferred. A hard suv- ,
faced thoroughfare requires leys cast
to keep up and the motley 'furnterly j
spent in upkeep of semi-permanent
roads can he used in extending the
state'' highway system. ,
Another provision of the federal j
aid system is that the minimum ,
width of roads he eighteen feet.
Thin minimum is maintained unless 5
spec:;.; perns -ion obtained f ont .
the secretin?,' of agriculture to re- <
duco them in width. """ * c
Federal aid is given to the state ] t
ftu road building oil the following .
basis: (
P Before any siate can benefit from j
f iteia act it must lay out a system, to '
irBpHlpproved by the secretary of agii- j
culture. consisting of not more than j
seven per cent of the total mileage ,
of roads in the state. This has been t
done in all states. 11
States receive tnonsv according to ,
theii' population,' men and mileage iSfj <
ppst roads in relating'' to the totals i
of all (he states. Each of these' ,
phases are Riven a rating of one- 5
third in determining the amount of ,
mousy the stf.ic is to leceive. ,
Except in states v. here more than ,
five per cent of the area is miao- ,
public land, the amount of federal (
aid received on any project is Km- ,
ited to 50 pen cent of the- cost of la- ,
tor and material?. In the stales five ,
per cent or more of whose area is ?'
public land, the 50 per cent allow- .
unce is increased by an amount equal (
to one-half of tile pe'reentage of <
public land in the state. ,
For example, under the above j
provision, Arizona is given 72.31 1
per cent of the cost of the roads. ,
Neva/la benefits to the extent of ,
87.72 per cent of the road expends- ,
Jure. Thus western states with a
small 'population are enabled to build
extensive highway systems.
J1 Pennsylvania has 90,000 miles in
*^v its state road system. Approximately ,
4,000 "miles an federal aid roads,
laid out :? a unified system accord- i
ing to Federal provisions. Built forj
permanence, 3,900 miles of Perm-i
q sylvania roads are of concrete con-1
duuvbivsi.
