Four'fifths of Highway
System Is Still Unpaved
Highway Map of Georgia, as of April 1; paved roads shown by heavy
lines, unpaved by light lines.
The state highway system now com-
I prises 6,300 miles, of which 1,396 miles
I are paved with either high or low type
lof paving, 2,767 miles have been im-
I proved but not paved, and 2,137 miles
[are still unimproved, according to
| highway department reports. This
[represents the result of ten years of
work of the state highway depart
ment, operating under existing high
|way laws.
The total highway still to be paved
is 4,903 miles, or four-fifths of the
entire system.
The largest amount of paving laid
down in any one year will be the pres
ent year, when 309 miles now finish
jed or under contract, will be placed
in commission. During 1925, a total of
252 miles were paved.
Practically all paving laid down in
1928, and 1929, was contracted for in
December, 1927, and May and June,
1928, when more than 500 miles of
hard surfaced roads were placed un
der contract. At that time, it was be
lieved that this amount could be fin
ished uuder existing schedules nearly
within a year’s limit. However, the
I system of financing under which the
[department was operating failed to
provide the necessary funds, with the
result that many of the contracts were

delayed, while still others were held
over until the present year.
Up until the present time, no new
contracts of moment have been let
this year, and iu the state auditor’s re
port published in April, it was indi
cated that no funds would be avail
able for new construction until the
end of the year.
Commenting upon these facts, the
Joint Committee for Highway Bonds
states that while the funds of the
state derived from gas tax and auto
mobile license fees are growing from
year to year, the state cannot hope to
accelerate its paving program to any
great extent for a number of years
under the existing method of financing.
Even if the annual paving laid down
was raised to four hundred miles, it
would still take too long to finish the
system. Much of the paving already
laid down, it insists, is of such a
light type that it will have to be re
laid before many years have passed,
and this will still further delay the
completion of the entire system.
By issuing bonds to carry on a
paving program just -s rapidly as such
paving can be laid economically, the
committee states that millions of dol
lars will be sav'd, both in the upkeep
and maintenance of the highways
themselves and in the operation and
upkeep of automobiles.
