$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

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.

LONDON. March 5.?(6:10 p. m.))
?The Weekly Nation today discusses
in its leading article the proposed
reprisals by the Allies against ship
ping to and from Germany and asks
by what right England can refuse
America leave to import dyes from
Germany when England herself has
Issued licenses to her traders to buy
dyes from that source.
"It seems cleear to us that If the
navy receives a general order to ar
rest all neutral shipping on suspicion
of German origin or destination of
their cargoes, our prise court and our
foreign office will not lead unevent
ful HveB," Th? Nation says. It con
8idors that the Allies can tighten the
existing siege of German coast with
out setting up a siege against neutral
nations or stopping trade "which wo
do not declare to be Illegal, or against i
which we do not take measures that i
international law requires neutrals j
