ILLINOIS [?] ROAD BUILDING AID

Neighboring F r Years Tardy In Road Making Naw Awake and Doe f livings. 9 ■ For years Tll'me's w.is behind .n_ ro:uT building but now it is awake and is building lots of good roads and this is being accomplished by state aid for . their — construction- Indiana;which has spent millions of dollars on its roads has done so without system and has wasted lots of money. The time is now at hand for building roads that will last and the permanent Td nd s that are being built where road making is a concrete and brick. There is some dispute as to which is the best. Brock costs the most and in Illinois last year the following was the proportion of roads built by state aid: Concrete 90.5 miles , brick 22.4 miles, gravel 1.2 miles and macadam 1 mile. The estimate for this year is concrete 58 miles,, brick 11 miles, gravel 22 miles, water bound macadam 5 miles, bithulitic macadam 6 miles. The Illinois law provides for

the state making an appropriation which may be used for permanent highways under certain corfditwns and counties using the money must appropriate as much as the state gives, it is thus a 50-50 split’ of the expense. For this year the state appropriated $2,000,000. W. W. Marr is the chief state highway engineer of that, state and he predicts that it won’t be long before Indiana is famous for its good roads. The tier of counties next to Indiana shows the greatest improvement and Vermillion county has planned to issue bonds for $1,500,000 for road building. The theory is advanced that by the issue of bonds the cost is not thrown on the present generation to build roads for the future generations but' that the future must help to pay-the expense and that we are able now to enjoy the advantages and share the cost with posterity. Indiana is one of five states that has failed to qualify for federal aid for roads according to the provisions of the Bankhead bill, recently reported favorably in the senate. The requirement is that the state provide a state highway commission, whicn has been done in 43 of the 48 states hr the country.
