May X?A 1 late publication Issued by tbe Bureau ] of Public Roads of the Department of i Agriculture, contains an article, his- i torical in Its character, of the orisin j and progress of road building in West Virginia since the state government i look it hand. It will be found to be i full of intsrest for the people of that 1 State. It is as follows: > ! Slate participation in road and bridge Improvements in West Virgin- 1 In is of recent origin, limt'od in amount although of state wide scope. State interest in road improvement may be ; said to date tram 1907, with the appointment of a state highway inspector ; who was empowered to investigate the i conditions of the roads throughout the , State and to make rccommendat'ons to the legislature concerning such new legislation as in his opinion would bo beneficial. i mm, _ M H _ A ? n Tne OlliCC OI puouu rya.ua, ouwiuiBtered by a commission of public roads, , with l'imited supervisory and advisory duties over road and bridge matters, j was created in 1S09 and abolished in 1911. The State road bureau was created In 1913. State financial aid was not annually extended until 1917 at which time the State highway depart- , ment was reorganized and a system of ' State roads was designated. The principal duties of the state road officers prior to 1917 were to furnish advice and supervision when requested by the county officials having charge of local improvement. The system of State roads designated in 1917 comprises about 14 per cent of the total road mileage of the State, and will be constructed under the supervision of the State highway department. The main traveled roads of West Virginia comprise about 20 per cent of the total mileage of the State, and about one-fourth of these roads, or 1600 miles of the total, have been imnroved hv surfacing. Practically all of the road Improvement in the State has been carried out by the counties -which, under the State law are invested with broad powers over road work, subject, however, to limited State supervision. The state, during 1916, expended $10,967 for support of a highway department and the oounties expended about $6,600,000 for road and brldgo improvement During 1917 a total of $8,200,000 was expended by all road officials of the State. Weat Virginia is traversed by mountain ranges from north to south and presents difficult problems in road location and construction, although, generally speaking, road material of good qnal'ty is abundant and in the eastern and western parts of the State, and Is scarce in the central portion of the state. The organization of the road forces of the State and the relation existing between them lb shown on a diagram oMMMMnwlno *Wa owtjolft In thft rtffi cial publication. State. The state road commission Is composed of two members appointed for terms of four years by the governor of the state, with the advice and consent of the State Senate. The mumbers are required to be citizens and residents of the State and to represent the two leading political parties of the State. One member Is required to be a practical civil engineer of known business qualifications and who shall have at least three years' responsible charge of the oonstrcctlon and maintenance of pobto; roads and highways. The other member of the commission Is required to be of known and successful business qualifications and ono member Is dee!gnated by the governor as secretary-treasurer of the commission.
