HUGE SUN IS SPENT IN BUILDING ROADS $288,000,000 to Be Spent in Twenty-One States During Construction Season ATLANTA, Sept. 18.—Highway construction in the United States for the 1923 road construction sea son, in which Georgia will have a big part, wil represnt an expendi ture of $228,000,000 in tjyenty-one states from which reports have been tabulated by advocates of good roads here. Last year the samo states spent $272,000,000 in road construction, the expenditures this year representing a gain of $15,000. Approximately one-half of the total mileage projected and under construction this year, it is stated, is federal aid work. On March .1, •federal aid work under construc tion amounted to $258,000,000 as compared with $233,000,444 on the same date last year. ‘‘These are large figures,” said John N. Hold er, chairman of the Georgia High way Department. ‘‘They show that the building of good roads in this country has passed from the thou sand to the million dollar class and is munting high in the latter class. They show that the country very generally is aroused to the neces sity for providing good highways for the use of farmers and com mercial interests, that communities are being connected with roads that can be traveled without incon venience in all weather and during all seasong and that rural isolation ns rapidly becoming to a thing of the past through the connecting up of isolated sections with other com munities.” Thirty states now tax gasoline, as compared with four at the begin ning of 1921 and most of> the reve nue goes for road purposes. , Geor gia raised its» gasoline tax at the last session of the legislature and the big fund which will be derived from that source will prove a big aid to road improvement in the state. The highway department accomplished a great deal in road construction during the last year and new construction now under ■way will add many good roads.
