mis~ioner Bennett. The refund. re-

making the net expenditures for the
rear 2,197,263, or slightly in excess
of the sum spent in the season of
1915-16. This increase was maintain
ed due to increases in the cost of
maintenance and reconstruction of
highways, and money to‘meet it was
found in the increased revenue from
the automobile department; material
and labor costs increased because of
war conditions.
The chief expenditures of the de‘
partment were of three kindszs The
construction of highways the con-
struction of trunk line highways un-
der new of lit]; and 1917, and pay-
mc-nt. for the maintenance. construc-

appropriations were made for specific
purposes. such as elimination of
dangerous conditions. on trunk linen,
construction of specified bridgett and
for the general opt-ration of the de-
partment, '
Ample Provision For New Roads
The last Assembly made ample
provision for new road construmion
and the coming two years should
show increased mileage to improved
hizhways. although the total is re»
stricted by reason of the federal gov-
ernment's schedule, that onlv neces-
sari roads should be immune] and
because materials
scarce, by reason of war conditlons.

The total mm.
es and repairs on
trunk line roads for the year was 81,-
495,486. In comparison the amount in
191314 was $785,090. in the latter year.
the miles maintained were 744. while
the past year the figure was 923.
The total expended the last year for
hard pavements on roads already con-
structed was almost twice that ex-
pended in any previous year. For
maintenance, of state aid routes the
cost was $191,955 for 533 miles, as
compared withdllllfi'fs and 389 miles
in 1913-14.
The total amount expended for
both ordina ryand permanent repairs

is as follows:—

Particular attention is called to the
fact that the total amount expended
for permanent improI'ement. namely
the placing of hard pavements 'on
roads already constructed in almost
twice that expended in any other
year. Experience has shown, Com-
missioner Bennett says. that the
concrete road so far has been thor-
oughly successful.

icreased vehicle fees. it is necessary to
provide additional appropriations for
replacements and this policy has been
adhered to by the legislature of 1917
so that our program of replacements

such a manner as to protide hard sur-
