BETTER ROADS I BREAK ROAD-BUILDING MARKS During 1922 Fl»cal Year 10,000 Mile* of Federal-Aid Roads Were Constructed. — (Prepared by tha United Slat'* Department vt Agriculture.) AU records for road voMtructlon In the United States were broken during the fiscal year 1922, according to the ; annual report of the bureau of public roada, United Stales Department of Agriculture,, Durlug tiiut ja-rlod 10OU) tulles of federul-ald roads and more than an equal mileage of highways without federal assistance were constructed. From tlie viewpoint of federal-aid progress tlie year divides Itself into two periods, one before mid the other after the passage of the federal highway act. The first period was a season of great construction activity, during which the greater part of the work of completing the 10,000 miles was done. It was also one of almost complete stagnation with respect to the initiation of projects. When the year opened there was an Unobligated balance of $18,793.5-14 ofthe federal-aid appropriations, and the projects initiated since the beginning of the work aggregated 35.402 miles. By the end of October, 1921, the unobligated balance had been reduced to $11,714,328, the lowest It had been since 1918. Only two states at that time hud a balance of more than sl.000,000 to draw upon for new projects, and a number were so reduced that their balance was not sufficient to pay for another mile of road. Just before the passage of the federal highway act tlie mileage submitted by the states had not grown during the fiscal year, but had actually diminished as a result of the withdrawal and substitution of projects. The total mileage proposed was only 35,379 miles, as compared with the 35.402 miles of four mouths before. Immediately upon the approval of the act the ''• - ■ ■-— - r "~~ Well-Constructed Cement Road. Initiation of projects took on new life and in the months of March and June reached the unprecedented total of 1,250 miles a month. At the close of the year the submitted mileage is 39,9 M) miles, 4.538 miles greater than at the close of the preceding fiscal year. At the close of the preceding year projects completed aggregated 7,469 miles, and there were 17,978 miles under construction, which were estimated as 50 per cent complete. In one year the completed mileage has grown to 17,716 miles, an Increase of more than 10,(MX) miles, and there still remain under construction 14,513 miles whl-h are estimated as 56 per cent complete. The federal aid earned by the slates on completed and uncompleted projects j amounts to $194,560,135, of whl-h $166,911,552 have actually been paid. The total length of projects hi all stages, including those which have been completed and those which are In the stages preliminary to construction, is 39,940 miles. The roads brought to completion during the year average over 200 miles for each state. The greatest Increase In completed mileage is in Texas, which has added during the year 933 miles to Its completed highway. Arkansas, Georgia, lowa, Minnesota and North Carolina, each with an Increase of more than 500 miles, and Montana and Wisconsin, with more than 400 miles, made notable advances toward the goal of a completed highway system. A number of smaller states, such as Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, made very substantial Increases In proportion to their size. The largest payment of federal aid during the year also went to Texas, which received from the government $5,915,046 and earned nearly $2,500,000 more. Other large payments were made to Illinois, lowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania, each of which received from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 or more during the year. Much License Fee Money, The Pennsylvania state highway department has received $400,090 thus far In revenue for motor vehicle license applications for 1923. More than 40,000 licenses have been applied for. I . Issues Maps of Roads. The provincial minister of roads of i Quebec issues a map of roads of that province, the first of its kind ever issued In Canada, and which is of great , Interest to motorists, especially from I the United States. $

AUTO PRICES TO INCREASE Leading Manufacturers Say Rock Bottom Levels Have Been Reached Detroit, Jan. 30.—Automobile prices have reached "rock bottom" levels ' and from now on will show a tendency to advance, according to lending man-, ufacturers here today. Several companies already have an- ; nounced slight increases and it is rei ported others soon will do likewise. Increased cost of basic materials and labor is given as the reason for I price advances. “Everything points to the conclusion that automobile prices have reached rock bottom levels and that the next movement will be upward,” said W. R. Wilson, president of the Maxwell I Motor company. "The automobile industry was the first to deflate to the limit after the war and it found itself jusified in doing so by the prompt return of volume business. "Now it faces the fact that for the i lust six months primary materials of I every sort have been trending upward in prices and that labor still is com-; manding high wages and getting scarce." Chicago, Jan. 30. Price increases will be general throughout the auto-; mobile industry within ninety days,! Capt. Eddie Rk-kenbacker, vice-presi-dent of the Rickenbacker Auto company, declared here today. "The automobile market has hit the bottom,” Rickenbaiker said. ‘‘The. reaction is under way. The cost of spring cars to the consumer will be higher.” Adams County Cattle Tested for Tuberculosis — Dr. George W. Hamilton, of Fort Wayne, Federal inspector for Tuber , culosis in cattle tested herds of cattie in Monroe and Washington townships, assisted by County Agent Busche. It | has been stated that only those herds which are already on the government lists are being tested at this time, no initial tests being made. Several are ri the waiting list for initial tests. | automobile stolen Geneva Ford Roadster Driven to Portland Saturday Night Disappears Irvin Butcher, of Geneva, accompanied by two friends, attended a dance Saturday night held in Portland.
