Abstract
THIS bulletin has been published for the purpose of helping to conserve the expenditure of the “vast sums” now being spent upon the roads of Wisconsin. For the years 1907-1911 the appropriation by the State for highway purposes was 2000Z. per annum, in 1912 it was 8o,oooZ., in 1913 170,000l., in 1914 it had risen to 246,000l., and these figures represent less than one-third of the total amount spent on State-aided roads in the corresponding years. It must be remembered, however, that ten years ago there were practically no stone roads beyond the town boundaries.
