Its construc tion will give Pennsylvania a net "ln order that not only the State at large, but its thousands of com munities may reap the benefit that will come from good roads it is necessary that there be a secondary system of roads—nlove-tailing with the primary system. To secure this secondary system it is necessary that every Pennsylvania county co-oper ate with the Commonwealth. "Each Pennslvania county is en titled to a portion of what is called the State-aid fund. The State shares with the several counties on a 50-50 basis. The counties arrange their portion of the 50-50 expendi ture as they see fit, insofar as the division between county and town ship is concerned. The State will follovf preferences indicated by County Commissioners as to the thoroughfares on which work will be done on the State-aid plan. "But the total represented by what the State and the counties will spend on State-aid roads does not truly represent the total that will and should be spent on the construc tion of secondary highways. The State Highway Department takes the position that because the State alone is paying for the main or primary highway system the count ies themselves should be willing to put into the construction of second ary routes the money they would have spent had they been called to meet the State in the cost of con struction of the primary system. "In other words, a county's share of tiro State-aid fund for the two year period covered by the legisla tive appropriation may not be suf ficient to do extensive construction on the secondary system. The Com missioners of that county have au thority to borrow money or issue bonds, in the manner provided by law, and spend that money as they see fit. If they use it to construct permanent roads on State highway routes then, upon completion of the thoroughfare, the State assumes the maintenance and repair. "Several counties have already is sued bonds for road work, a dozen counties have bond issues in pros pect, and many others will if neces sary borrow money with which to aid in the construction of permanent sections of secondary highways. Al most every county in the State has indicated that it will avail itself of the State-aid apportioned to it under the law. "The State Highway Department urges that counties enter into the work of constructing roads with all the vigor and energy of which they are capable. "The Commonwealth has mapped out the most comprehensive pro gram ever undertaken in America. "If we are joined by the counties themselves —if the counties will lay out their own highway systems, and follow a definite year-by-ycar pro gram of construction, the result will be a revelation not only to our selves, but to the entire United States. "The State is paying all the cost of building the primary road system. It is paying several millions of dol lars during the next two years to ward building the secondary system, and it asks that each county in Pennsylvania do as much for itself as the State is doing for it." Building Prospects Are Encouraging All Over U. S. Ilthough building construction work is steadily increasing through out the country it has not reached the normal level maintained a few years ago according to the American Contractor in its monthly review of operations during February. The increase in work is encouraging however, for the last month, 153 cities reporting new projects which will cost $32,058,628 to complete, as compared with $21,680,314 in the same month in 1918, or 48 per cent, more. In the two previous years operations in clightly more than 100 cities totalled more than $50,000,000 each February. Harrisburg is third in the amount of construction work started last month in the list of third class cities reporting in this State. In Reading 24 permits were issued for operations with an estimated value of $148,375; Erie, 60 permits, $71,- 533; Harrisburg, 25 permits, $44,- 530. Last year, however, in Feb ruary only three permits were is sued in Reading for work costing $125; 25 in Erie, $30,025; and 4 in Harrisburg, $181,900.
