556 Miles Roads
Were Paved in
State Last Year
The State Highway Department
built 556 miles of paved road during
1933, spending '59,560,000 on con
struction and $1,070,000 on main
tenance, it was stated in a review
of the year’s work made public Sat
urday at the department offices.
Coincidentally with the announce
ment of work accomplished Governor
Talmadge praised the operations of
the State Highway Board, and an
nounced that there will be no further
hanges in the personnel of the board,
as he will continue Eugene Wilburn
a3 chairman and reappoint John
Ileck, of Marietta, for anew six-year
term beginning January 1.
The department functioned under
more board chairmen during 1933
than at any time in the history of
the highway organization, the chair
men being consecutively Captain J.
W. Barneri', of Athens; Jud P. Wil
hoit, of Warrenton; J. J. Mangham.
of Breman, and W. F. Wilburn, of
Oglethorpe.
Some of the 556 miles of paving
reported by the board as completed
in 1933 was placed under contract
before the end of last year, ’but the
total does not take into account a
number of projects which have been
let this year but will not be built un
til 1934.
World Cotton
Crop 25,000,000,
Bales For 1933
Washington, D. C. —The world
cotton crop was estimated at 25,-
000,000 bales by the 'bureau of agri
cultural economics.
This year’s production was 1,900,-
000 bales larger than last year, but
2,000,000 bales less than the esti
mated world production in 1931-32,
and less than the average of the last
five years.
The 1933 increase was accounted
for almost entirely by incei-ased pro
duction in foreign countries, the bu
reau said. Production in countries
other than the United States was es
timated at 12,323,000 bales compar
ed with 10,598,000 bales last year.
The largest increase was in Egypt.
The apparent supply of American
cotton remaining in the United
States on December 1 was approxi
mately 15,900,000 bales, compared
with 17,250,000 on December 1,
1932. This reduction was attributed
tc a smaller carryover from 1932 and
to lai'ger consumption and exports.
