Expenditure* for Road and Bridge
Work Are Reported In
Statement.
The State Highway Department In
vitee attention to following statement
of Its procedure, expenditures and ac
complishments.
All bids by contractors are opened at
the State Highway Department in the
presence of the State Highway Board,
the State Highway Engineer, a repre
sentative of the Bureau of Publiq
Roads, the contractors and general
public.
When a county wishes to construct a
federal aid project with Its convict
force or otherwise, contract Is given
to the county without its having to bid
for the same at a letting.
In aw-ardlng such contract to a coun
ty It is at an amount which is less
than the cost of similar work when per
formed by contractor and under the
cost as estimated by the State Highway
Board, approved by the representative
of the Federal Government.
When a contract for the construction
of a federal aid project Is awarded by
the state highway board, after same
has been duly advertised in the news
papers of thq state, and especially in
the newspapers of the county in which
th« project Is located, it Is done only
after a representative of the bureau of
public roads, the state highway engi
neer and the county authorities of the
county have recommended such to the
state highway tx>ard, who then ap
proves the contract. This statement
Is made to show the complete co-oper
ation of county authorities and high
way officials in awarding contracts for
road building in Georgia.
Again, unless the lowest bidder fails
to make bond to carry out his contract
or unless the county authorities object
to awarding the contract to the lowest
bidder, the state highway board has.
always awarded the contract to the one
who makes the lowest bid for it.
During the time the state highway

construction purposes have been aa

of the mucous lining of the Eustachian

The bridge mileage constructed by
Georgia to January 1, 1923, out of fed
eral aid funds wn s 45 ner cent o!
the- total bridge mileage constructed
by all states out of similar funds.
The total number of miles of road
constructed or under construction and
soon to be completed is 1,793.84.
Total mileage of road 3 for
funds have been provided and plans
made is 568.08. Grand total mileage
of roada, 2,361.92.
Total bridges mileage constructed,
under way and planned, 15.70. Grand
total of roads and bridges. 2,377.62.
The following figures give the total
of each type of road completed, being
constructed and provided for:
Roads constructed and being con
structed: Clay or top soil, 1,296.79
miles; gravel or chert, 251.09 - miles;
bituminous macadam, 86.26 miles; con
crete, 151.12 miles; rock asphalt, 8.23
miles; brick, .35 miles. Total roads
constructed and being constructed,
1,793.84 miles.
Proposed roads for which funds have
been provided, plans and surveys
made: Clay or top soil, 418.65 miles;
gravel or chert, 110.36 miles; bitumi
nous macadam, 22.67 miles; concrete,
16.40 miles. Total proposed roads for
which funds have been provided and
plans and survey made, 568.08 miles.
Total roads constructed and being
constructed and proposed roads for
which have been provided, plans
and surveys made; Clay or top soil,
1.715.44 miles; gravel or chert, 361.45
miles; bituminous macadam, 108.93
miles; concrete, 167.52 miles; rock as
phalt, 5.23 miles; brick, 35. Grand to
tal of all roads constructed, being con
structed and proposed roads for which
funds have been provided, plans and
surveys made, 2,361.92.
Since, to the majority of people, fig
ures alone do not convey an accurate
Idea of what they represent, and it is
only when these figures are placed In
contrast with known or existing objects
that they fully grasp the magnitude of
the story that in cold fiacts and
f'gures, suppose the completed road,
which is 1,051.80 miles in length, had
been constructed as one highway, it
would then reach from Atlanta through
Greenville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Dur
ham, Richmond, Washington, Balti
more, and Philadelphia to New York.
If the roads under construction, to
taling 755.34 miles, were extended south
from Atlanta, we would travel through
Montgomery and Mobile to New Or
leans, and, when the roads already
planned and for which funds have been
appropriated are completed, the jour
ney would continue from New Orleans
through Houston to San Antonie, Tex
as, a distance of 570.48 mile 3. These
fignrc-3 include bridge as well as roads.
Thus the total mileage above will pro
vide an imaginary road from New York
to San Antonio, Texas.
Below is shown the average cost per
mile for the different types of con
struction; *
Graded and drained.. $7 .614.62
Band clay and top soil. 5,084.31
Gravel and chert... 11,755.37
Wat*rbound macadam 1G,509.72
Bituminous macadam 27.263.28
Bituminous concrete 34,175.92
Portland cement concrete ....32,044.76
