Road Building Exposition and Government Engineering Corps
The exhibit demonstrates road building devices, lectures, and training programs used to develop a national corps of engineers. Since 1905 the office has expanded staff, budgets, and a comprehensive plan to investigate county road work and publish plans, estimates, and recommendations. A May 1907 project aims to standardize construction and administration across states. The bulletin published in 1907 reports 2,150,000 miles of U.S. roads with 7.14 percent improved in 1904 and near 80 million dollars spent on that year.
