It was here that the great men of the Nephites welcomed the scribes to their midst and bade them be at home. Doctor Rees, captain of Kiwanis, welcomed the scribes to the city, and Scribe Cooper, of the province of Carbon, made response thereto. Blood, a captain in the state road commission, told of the relation of the scribes to the state road program, which was followed by discussion.

Government Participation The plan under which this vast road fund is to he expended is one of cooperation between the federal government and the states; that is to say, it is basically a proposition, the states to furnish half the total cost of the roads and the government the other half. However, m the public land states an allowumc is made for unpatented lands, which, of course, are owned by the government. For its ownership of these lands the government pays to the states additional sums to be applied on road building costs in proportion to the amount of public lands within the several states. Utah is one of the large public land states, and this state receives from the government 21.8.r 12 per cent of the total cost of federal aid roads as the public land proportion of the cost. This is in effect a special road tax paid on government unpatented lands, and it is turned over to the state and applied as part of the states 50 per cent of road costs. This 24.8542 per cent added to the governments 50 per cent brings the total government percentage to 74.8542, and reduces the states percentage to 25.1458.

That state receives federal aid to the total percentage of 87.2258. Since the exhaustion of the state road bond funds, the counties have been called upon to supply the amount necessary to match federal aid allotments. Engineering Costa The generous help given by the government has made necessary calling into existence thoroughly organized road departments in all of the states. The federal aid plan demands that this organization shall be efficient and well equipped to handle the immense volume of work incident to the economical expenditure of state and federal funds. The result is that in Utah, as in other states, the effort has been to secure skilled men, specialists in road building work, which has come to be recognized as a separate and very important branch of engineering. Considering the comparatively short time since scientific road construction was commenced, there has been wonderful progress, and each year finds new and improved methods applied to this work. One has but to compare recent construction with work done five, six or seven years ago to be convinced that the outlay for engineering investigation and supervision has been a profitable investment. In this connection. It might be well to' say that perhaps the agitation which in the past has been aimed Phone 100 1909-191- 2 1913-19- 14 1922 Authorized Ford Dealer for ei i -- n-p- sive lead Totals ' Ci" er b e ly . poi ... $1.81 S ' I' and i ui her -- . i aie til eolista.'

It is economy to do so. Use of Federal Funds It is felt that in some quarters as to the there is a use to be made of federal funds allotted to Utah. From statements that occasionally aie made, it would seem that the idea is prevalent that certain definite portions of the funds belong to certain counties, or sections of the st ate. This is a mistake. The federal funds are allotted to the state as a whole, and they are to he expended under the direction of the state road commission, in coopeiatnm with the Federal Bureau of Roads, in localities and on roads where they will do most in furthering the generul plans of the government which looks to the building of improved highways for gi m ral nun The state road commis nei makes no allocation of funds to counties or localities as such, but .nit intes projects in conformity with 'he general scheme. The commission as at present organized makes no of the state, but attempts to administer its affairs with due regard for the interests of all concerned. Federal Aid Roads Utah has a total road mileage of Of this total, 3148.5 21,057 miles. are state roads, 'the balance coming the head of county roads. The federal law, approved Nov. 9, 1921, units government aid to 7 per cent of the total road mileage, or 108-miles. This mileage is divided into primary and secondary roads, the primary to be interstate highways and the secondary intercounty roads, with no difference in the construction standards on the two classes of roads. It will thus be seen that federal aid can be applied on only about half the total state road mileage. The Federal Bureau of Roads has just recently approved the statea designation of 1430 miles on the 7 per cent These roads traverse the most populous sections of the state, arid when improved will serve counties having about 95 per cent of the population. Up to the present time about 22 per cent of the primary and secondary systems has been constructed under In addition standard specifications. to this, there are now under construction 80 miles of gravel surfaced roads and 15.8 miles of concrete paving, and eight bridges with a total cost of $1,120,000. The 1923 program includes 143 miles of graveled roads and 19 miles. of hard surfaced pavement, in addition to the mileage now under construction. The cost of the graveled roads will be about $1,130,000, and of the hard surfaced roads, $600,-OOProjects proposed for construction in 1924 and 1925 will involve the expenditure of $1,928,000.
