It is estimated that about 300,000 men are at work building ýthe nation's roads. The magnitude of highway building is, poîinted, out in a. recent announce- ment of C. M. Babcock, highway coin- ,missioner of Minnesota. Mr. Babcoçk showvs that.in concret.ing 284 miles*of trunk highway *in. Minnesota last, year .it wvas necessary to. ship by f reight 24,9ý33 carloads of equipmnent ýand ma- terial at a total f reight cost of .$1,477,- 000. 0 f the average cost.of $23,848 per mile for finished. concrete pave- mieit. $5,188 vas required for f reight, Alot inicluding sand and gravel hauled locally by truck. Thisý year Mr. Babcock estimates that..the concrete ýpaving p rogram, of 425 milies .ill require railroad loadings of 37,400 carloads of paving inaterials, for which the f reiglit 'Charge ill be $2,650,00, In àddition to this« there vilM be -about 1,000 '.carloads of' brick. material and about 3,000 cars of tile. cTlverts and culvert inaterial. for use ini g1rading proiects.

A f ew* cities, howvever, are' tak- ing advantàge of present bargain prices in- materials and construction bv iu augurating programs for municipal im- provement construction.
