Planning 180,000
Miles of Improved
State Highways
Washington, D. C., Nov. 7.—A
program (or good roads construc
tion during the next fifteen to twen
ty years which will make the road
transportation facilities of the
United States far exceed those of
any other nation, in the world, past
or present, is the aim of tlie federal
government. The llghways of Rome
even, whose fame has come down
through the centuries, will pale by
comparison, officials declare. Under
the program, there will be built,
during the period, 180,000 miles of
improved highways, which will con-i
stitute the fedoral-ald highway sys
tem, and an equal or greater mileage
of state and local roads.
Details of this program will be
placed before the conference of
the highway board, which met here
eysterday for a three days' confer
ence. by state highway engineers
and officials of the bureau of public
roads of the department of agricul
ture. to whom lias been entrusted
the work of planning and supervis
ing the construction of the' federal
aid highway.
The plan will be presented es
pecially to enable the board to pro
ceed authoritlvely with its work
of devising aids for schools and col
leges to which the road-builders of
the country are turning for compe
tent highway engineers.
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the federal-aid
program alone at about $3,000,000,
000, spread over the period. They
basse their estimate on an average
cost of J17.000 per mile. The aver
age cost, in turn, takes into consir
eration all classes of improved high
ways from the cheapest to the most
expensive. Approximately one-third
of the proposed system, of 60,000
miles of mproved highways, already
are either built or building.
The program Is a new one. Up
to comparatively recent years, the
bureau declares, road building in the
United States has been conductcd
without special regard to a national
system. Highways had been con
structed where needed without con
sidering whether they would link up
in the most effective fashion with
the whole network of roads projected
to spread over the entire country.
Engineers had sought more to meet
immediate and local demands than
t!:e broader requirements of the
states and the nation.
rne reaerai-aia program, omciais
said, will contemplate the construc
tion of only such roafts as fit into the
national program and contribute to
the national system. At the same
time the roads will be so selected as
to serve the most important local
requirements. With marked modifi
I cations the system adopted in build
ing the railways of the country will
be borne in mind in the construction
of the nation's new highways. There
will be main lines of highway, cam
> municatlon between centers and thou
sands of miles of feeder roads, reach
ing back into the more sparsely set
tled regions and Into the rich agri
| culture sections, to tap areaas whose
' population and products will flow
] over the new system.
I New roads will be built—thou
sands of miles of them—where they
I will fit In most advantageously with
1 the entire program. The bureau at
; present is engaged in research work
. Into the most efficient methods of
| road building, including the charac
' tcr and wearing power of materials
and resisting qualities of various sub
stances and has already amassed a
great store of valuable Information
which will be available to the hign
<vay engineers of tomorrow whom
i the board especially is seekhig to
| have educated In practical and mod
; ern methods.
