OVER 8,000 MILES OF
ROAD KEPT UP
According to the State Highway
(News, the only news paper published
lon Capitol Hill, the State Highway
Department in the working season
!just closed maintained 8,262,68 miles
lout of the total milage of 10,200 miles
in Pennsylvania state system. This
statement, which is based ‘on the re-
ports of engineers in the department,
shows the greatest amount of main-
[tenance and in addition to the vast
milage covered 396,99 miles were re-
surfaced.
The detail of the maintenance work
shows: 5,824,465 miles of earth roads
dragged or scrazud, 1, 880, 48 of stone
or hard surface roas and 557, 75 miles
of flint, gravel and shale roads dress-
ed up. This ‘mileage is more than the
diameter of the earth and only roads
of minor importance have not heen
gone over. However, these were in-
spected and put into a fair condit-
ion. Most of the work done was of &
semi-permanent character.
The publication also contains the
interesting announcement that chan-
ges made in the department were jus-
tified by records of work done and
adds: “Other changes will be made
| whenever employes fail to_live up to
the high standards set for them.
