Sept 15. The grreat extension in the use of motor m vehicles in the past few years has brought about a marked Increase in the construction of new, substantial and mare costly types of roads in New York, Nw Jersey and Pennsylvania, it has been found by the t*. S. De partment of Agriculture. The third 6-yearly study of road mileage, road types and highway finances in the three Middle Atlantic States, just re ported by the Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering, in Depart ment Bulletin No. 356. shows that in 1914 roads treated with bituminous, preparations made up 15.4 per cent of the improved highways as against 1 per cent in 1909. A similar showing is made in the report for concrete, brick and other of the more substantial materials used in road construction. Approximately 9 per cent of the improved road mile age of the three commonwealths is now surfaced with such materials, while in 1909 roads of this type con stituted only 1 per cent of the im proved highways. In 1904, when the first road study was made, neither bituminous nor the more substantial roads were found in the three States, untreated macadam and gravel roads predominating. The changes of re cent years brought about a reduction from 51 to 39.3 per cent of the total in the proportion of untreated mac adam toads during the period from 1909 to 1914. The figures are com * plete except for Pennsylvania, where it was impossible to secure detailed information regarding the type of surfaced roads in the second class of townships. Macadam Passing Out Of the road improvement made only in the o-vear period of the most re cent study, more than 3,500 miles, or 37 per cent, were treated with bitu men, while only 20.5 per cent were untreated macadam nd 26 per cent plain gravel. This indicates con clusively, in the opinion of officials of the Office of Public Koads and Rural Engineering, that for roads carrving heavy automobile traffic, the " old standard type of waterbound mac adam has had its day.

In addition, county,! town, and township bonds voted in New York totaled nearly $12,000,000; in New Jersey. $14,000,000; In Penn- i sylvania. $27,500,000. New York was the only one of the three common wealths voting State bonds for road j improvement. The amount author- I Ized to the close of 1914 was SIOO-' 000,000, of which $65,000,000 had I been issued. All the three States j have highway departments and apply! State funds to road improvement. J Approximately one-third of all ex penditures are provided by local units in New York, and about one-half in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Loads in Mileage Although the road mileage in the Middle Atlantic States on January 1, 1915, was 185,770.84 miles, of which the approximate State mileages were- New York. 79,000; New Jersey, 15.- 000. and Pennsylvania, 91,500. This' is exclusive of practically all streets; in incorporated cities and towns. The ! percentages of surfaced roads added in the 5-year period were 3.5 in New! York, 17 in New Jersev, and 7 in Pennsylvania. The report is the first of a series l which will relate to road lnvestiga- ! tions of mileage, conditions and tin- 1 nnces throughout the United States.
