Vl ~ !) * 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 B k Jb gllj^ TRY THESE MENUS in your GE Refrigerator Informal Luncheon Iced Fruit Soup French Toast Sandwich with Chopped Ham Filling Currant Jelly Stringiest) Bean Salad Eclairs with Hot Chocolate Sauce Coffee Afternoon Bridge Pineapple Mint Smash Macaroons Assorted Wafers After-Theater Lunch ' Tomato Rarebit on Crackers Fudge Luxuro Eclair Coffee 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.
