GOOD ROADS IN TEXAS
The total amount of money ex-
pended ip the United States for
improvement on highways, accord-
ing to the Federal Goverment re-
ports, was approximately $140,000
000, giving an average of about
$2,800,000 per state During the
same year Texas voted ty>nd issues
for building good roads to the
amount of $8,915,500. From this
it will be seen that Texas had
more than three; times its share of
road-construction funds in 1911,
considered from a viewpoint of
individual states
When figured on a basis of area,
however, it is found that Texas
fell a little below its proportion.
With an area of one-fourteenth of
that of the United States, Texas
has an expenditure of approxima-
tely $9,000,000, or not quite one-
fourteenth of the entire amount
credited to the Union.
The last comparison shows up
more favorably when it is con-
sidered that Texas has a density
of population of only 14.8 per
square mile as compared to 25.8
for the United States as a whole.
The comparison that is most
gratifying to Texans is that of
contrasting the spirit in favor of
good road building in the Lone
Star State, that has been so
noticeable within the past few
years, with the decided disfavor
for adequate appropriations of
several years ago. The increased
favor of highway improvement is
indicted by the fact the bonds for
road purposes were more than
twice as great in 1911 as in 1910,
the total amount voted in the lat-
ter year being $4,015,500.
