FEDERAL AID BIG STIMULUS feet clear spun) by raising the maxi
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, ilium to $20,000 per mile. This Post-
Operatlons Begun Thus Far Aggregate
More Than 29,000 Miles.
The unprecedented stimulus given
highway construction In the United
States in the four years that have
passed since the Federal Government
entered upon its policy of aiding road
Improvement Is shown by the fact that
road operations under the Federal aid
road act thus far initiated aggregate
in length nine times the distance from
New York to San Francisco, according
to Thomas H. MacDonald, Chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Federal Government's share in
this stupendous undertaking is greater
than the cost of the Panama Canal.
fFhe participation of the National Gov -
eminent In highway Improvement
niurked a departure from a policy
which hud been followed for nearly a
century. Federal co-operation with
the States 011 approximately a "50-50"
basis has counted more than any other
factor, says Mr. MacDonald, in initiat
ing highway construction that is be-
ing carried on under adequate super
vision, and in accord with a program
co-ordinating local, State and national
needs.
Highways of Durable Types.
Second only in importance to the
size of the present road-building pro
gram is the excellence of the charact
er of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent of the total allotment of
Federal funds Which has been approv
ed to date will be spent for roads of
sqch durable types as bituminous con
crete, Portland cement concrete, and
vitrified brick. These roads, when
built, will increase' by 7,6000 miles the
total of 14,400 miles of roads of this
class which existed in the United
States before the Federal aid road law
W68 passed. But these figures by no
means represent the total mileage
tffected.
In 1915 the total expenditure for
roads and bridges by all the States
and local governments was $267,000,
000, while this year the estimated
funds available for main road con
struction are nearly three times that
amount, or $63:1,000,000. In all, Fed
eral funds to the amount of $266,750,
000 have been apportioned among 4S
States without a suggestion of fav
oritism so adequate are the provis- l.
ions for a just apportionment.
Far-Reaching Results.
One of the early and most far-reaching
results directly attributable to the
adoption of the Federal aid program
was the creation of adequate State
highway departments in 17 States
which previously had either no State
department, or departments insuf
ficlently equipped. Within one year
after the passage of the Federal aid
road act more constructive State high
way legislation was placed upon the
statute books than had ever been en
acted in a similar period in the history
of the country.
The insistence of the Government
upon the construction of Federal-aid
roads under the supervision of en
gineers of the State departments has
resulted In piecing a much larger
proportion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1915, the year before
the Federal-aioj act was passed, only
30 per cent of the money for roads and
bridges built in the United States was
expended under the supervision pt.
State highway deportments. Th(is
year these departments will exercise
control over fully 80 per cent of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building
The Federal Government's present
program of highway Improvement is
the result of two acts
The Federal
id road act. tlgned by the Cresuicni
July 11, 1916, and provisions in the
Postoffice appropriation bill for 1920,
signed February 28, 1919, containing
an amendment to the original reoei.u-
aid road act. The original appropna
tion of $75,000,000 was made available
for rural post roads in Installments
at the rate of $5,000,000 for the Bscal
vear ending June 90, 1917; $10.00lUiuu
for the fiscal year 191S; $15,U0t).uuu
for the year 1919; $20,000,000 for the
1920; and $25,000,000 for tlie
y ea r
fiscal year
ending June. 19.1. 1 en
million dollars for forest roads was
made available at the rate of $1,000,
000 a year after July 1, 1916. The ap
portionment of the post-road approp
riations of the States, after deduct iie:
the administrative fund, which must
not exceed I per cent, is based upon
area, population, and mileage of rural
delivery and star routes in each
State. Each of these factors has a
weight of one-third.
Federal Activities Broadened.
Three months after the signing of
the armistice 111.' I'ostoffii e appropria
tion bill for 1920 hecame a law. One
of the important amendments which
it contained that the term "rural post
roads." an used in the earlier set. wa
to be construed to mean "any public
road a porti.n of which is now used
or can be used or forms a conne. tinK
11-k tn exec, ,1 ten miles in 1 n-th
,la a ,,r hcrclfter
or any roao
ocl in the transportation of ln
United States malls " The law
changed a limitation to the effect that
the Government
not be in excess 01 i"""" i"
. .,YAA - n, nt
elusive of bridges of more .h.n
onice appropriation hill carried an ad-
j ditionul appropriation of $200,000,000
for the construction of Federal-aid
roads and $9,000,0,0 additional for the
' construction and maintenance of roads
and trails In the national forests.
I All of these Federal funds may be
j expended only for construction and
1 must not exceed 50 per cent of the
1 value of the roads. In other words
i the States, Hither directly or througl
county or other government units, are
required to bear something more than
half ot' the total cost of their road im
provement. Under the law the Secretary of Ag
riculture is charged with the adminis
tration of the Federal-aid act. He has
assigned the details of administration
to the Chief of the Bureau of Public
1 Roads,
branch, of the department
considered to be in closer
which
touch with the highway situation and
requirements of tie country as a
whole than any ower agency in the
United States.
States Must Initiate Projects.
The Federal-aid;' act requires that
road projects for' Federal-aid be in
iated by the States. As a first step
a statement is forwarded to the dis-
trict engineer of the Bureau of Public
Roads, announcing in effect that the
State proposes to build a piece of road
of a certain type and length in a cer
tain locution. This notice, known as
I a "project statement," is accompanied
by an estimate ol cost. The project
statement is examined by the district
engineer to determine whether the
project complies With the Federal-aid
road act. If his decision is favorable
he forwards the statement to the
Washinghton office with his recom
mendation. There! it is examined by
the chief engineei; and his assistants,
and if the latter concurs in the recom
mendation of the district engineer the
project is placed Before the Secretary
of Agriculture for jtlis approval. Until
the Secretary hatf acted, no further
action is taken lifer the State. Over
halt' of the projects handled are
passed by district officers in an av
erage of live day .111 illustration of
the manner in which work can be ex
pedited even where a large organiza
tion and complex) procedure are in
volved. Big Mileage Approved.
Up to June 30,1920, 2,985 projects
involving a total of 29,319 miles of
road had been approved by the Sec
retary of Agricultural. The (prelimi
nary estimate r the cost of these pro
jects is approximately $384,900,000, of
which approximately $163,841,000 will
be approved as Federal-aid. On the
same date 2,116 projects, representing
approximately 15,944 miles, had eitehr
been completed or were under con
attraction. The estimated total jpost
of these projects in various stages of
construction and completed is $200,
000,000. The total cost of Federal-aid
work approved by the Secretary in the
19 months subsequent to the signing
of the ainiistice, and prior to July 1,
1920, which is approximately $330,00,
000, exceeded by $63,000,000 the cost
of all roads and liridge work done by
States and counties in this country in
1915. The value of the work com
pleted during that period amounted
to $60,000,000, a rate of construction
equalling that of the Panama Canal.
