“instruction at the present time.
To build these roads has
1.0.861, 370. including the
igne-third. $2. 524.366, while the State
0! Connecticut has contributed $4,-
' p37, 004.
l. Under the. laws governing Fed-
,oral Aid for highways the United
States Government will pay up to
one-half of the cost of construct-
i highways on a system mapped
out within a State. which shall not
total more than seven per cent. of
,n‘iho total rural road mileage of the
‘ to.
Main Highways.
.. The system of highways where
.‘Federai Aid funds are to be used
is filed by the State officials with the
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and
, must be in general the main high-
Ways and arteries of travel in the
State. Three-sevenths of each State
‘system must be on inter-State or
‘cross country routes and the rest
must be intercounty roads, called
secondary highways.
Connecticut's total rural road
mileage is 12.000 miles, of which
835 mllcsarc included in the Fed-
eral Aid highway system, construc-
tion had either been completed or
,nthorized on 137 miles of this up
0 June 30. 1925. which leaves 698
miles of the system yet to be built.
" Congress has made appropriations
or Federal Aid up to end of the
fiscal closing, June 30. 1926. Of the
total appropriations made since the
vlppugurntion of the Federal Aid
mtem in 1917. Connecticut's share
jun been $3,855,993. However. much
ytthis has been used, the balance
remaining to Connecticut's credit for
I. new Federal Aid projects being on
3' June 30, $1,331,360.
Although President Coolidge has
intimated that he did not strongly
. flavor largo appropriations for Fed-
-: eral‘Ald in highway construction. it
is probable that Congress will con-
tinue to appropr atc approximately
. $75,000,000 11. ycar for this purpose
1' as in the past few years. as Western
rStates are highly in favor of the
plan.
, In addition to the Federal Aid
roads each State has gone on with
- its own road program. Many of the
main arteries of travel on the de-
signated Federal Aid highway sys-
, tom have not yet been constructed
, , Is there are State or county roads
'3 there which“ serve the purpose at
present.

highways were completed during the

and 4.687 miles opened to the pub-

eral Aid roads now open to travel
up to more than 46,000 miles of the
175.000 miles of the designated Fed-
eral Aid system which is planned to
serve as main arteries of travel in
the nation. This has cost a total of
$1,182.11 62.290. of which the Federal
Government has contlibuted 5517.-
995,148. For the present fiscal year
Congress has made available 380,-

projects.
Texas led. in mileage completed
during the year with 784 miles. fol-
lowed by South Dakota with 458
miles. Illinois with 431 miles. and
Minnesota with 429 miles. The out-
standing result of the year's work,
according to‘tho Bureau of Public
Roads. has been the large mileage
of colltlnuous highway routes made
available. gaps having been filled in
practically every State.
