Road Building Surges in 1921 as Federal Aid Expands
The Bureau of Public Roads reports nearly 14 000 miles of road built this season with federal aid and about as many independently, the most in any year. Costs for grading with local materials fall to 1914 levels, freight rates drop slightly, and manufactured road material prices ease. Congress appropriates 75 million dollars to accelerate construction and states consider higher aid to fund interstate and intercounty highway systems.
