Let us now review briefly. The Highway Bulletin credits (or disered- its) those in charge of the depart- ment prior to June 30, 1923, with the construction of only’ 885 miles of earth roads, 252 of which were gravel surfaced and the Liberty Memorial Bridge at a total cost of $9,273,318.38. Reliable records show that on Jan. 1, 19 2,082 miles of surveys, 1,750 miles of designs had been made and the equivalent of 1,388 miles of grad- ing and drainage structures had been constructed. In addition to this the Liberty Memorial Bridge and 275 miles of gravel surfacing had been completed (26 miles of which were surfaced by the department's own forces). Approximately — $1,500,000 worth of surplus war materials had been distributed and the maintenance of the state highway system had been supervised at the following cost: Construction « $7,262,636.40 ; . of Pittsburgh tos are the couch had been !

The claim is made that $9,273,318.56 was spent prior to that time for the construction of the Liberty Memorial Bridge and the building of: 885 miles of earth roads, 252 of which were gra- vel surfaced. Now let us analyze this statement and see how closely it sticks to the truth. The Liberty Memorial Bridge cost, in round numbers, $1,365,000, and the ing that period was approximately $2,500 per mile, making the total cost of graveling $630,000. Deducting the cost of the bridge and the gravel surfacing we have a balance of $7,- 242,318.56 as the cost of 885 miles of earth roads. This gives an average of about $8,200 per mile, covering # period of six years. This would be a pretty stiff price to pay far garth roads as all taxpayers will agree. But let us see what the actual facts are in the case. Referring to the Senate Investigat- ing Committee Report of °1923, the data of, which was furnished under + |oath, afd the report of the Highway Commission for the biennial period, ending June 30, 1922; we find from the former that on Jan. .1, 1923, 2,- 082.4 miles of surveys had been made, of which 1,750 miles had been design- ed. (Referring to the biennial report we find that up to June 80, 1922, 1,- 510 miles of grading contracts had been let and from personal knowledge the writer is sure that by the end of 1922 this mileage had been increased to at least 1,600 and that work had been done on every project except one. remarkable statements regarding the} average cost of gravel surfacing dur-| the buildings had been sprinkled: with gasoline before the fire was kindled.
