This mileage was made up of 287,928 miles on the state systems, and 2,731,- 172 miles on the county and local sys- tems. According to the bulletin, the states had surfaced approximately 396,401 miles.

The surfaced mileage included roads with all types of surfacing, such as sand, clay and top soil, gravel, water- bound macadam, bituminous macadam, sheet asphalt, bituminous concrete, Portland cement, concrete, and block pavements of brick, asphalt, wood or stone.

Byrd, one of the most talked of men in this country today, will be in Chicago on the night of January 25 to tell the Greater Chi- cago public about his recent trans-At- lantic flight, and to give them an out- line of his next great undertaking--his aerial expedition to the South Pole. The Illinois League of Women Vot- ers of which the Winnetka league is a unit, under whose auspices the lec- ture is to be held, was successful in securing Commander Byrd for this one Chicago public appearance, only after carrying on considerable telegraphic communication with his manager. Late reports show that those who assisted with the preparations for the Commander's North Pole "journey by air" and the Atlantic Flight confess themselves amazed at the dimensional breadth of his impending expedition to the "bottom of the world." Com- mander Byrd is to build a tiny city on the rim of the bleak Antarctic Con- tinent as a base for his flight to the South Pole, This base will comprise portable houses, machine shops, radio station, airdome and food and fuel depots. Byrd will tell his own story at Or- chestra hall. In addition he will show motion pictures including many ex- clusive "shots" taken of the trans-At- | lantic flight, pictures of interest taken | when he and his party landed on the bleak coast of France at Ver-sur-Mer. This man who has said little about his achievements holds many distinc- tions. How many of us remember his having charge of the navigating arrangements for flights of the N-C planes across the Atlantic in 1919: and, again, his being in charge of the navy planes in the Macmillan expedi- tion which finally resulted in Byrd's unique contribution to history; name- ly, his own flight with Floyd Bennett to the North Pole? Commander Byrd is a native of Vir- ginia, of which state his brother is now governor. His coming to Chicago at this time is apropos, since concerted action is already much in evidence to make Chicago a great airport city of the world.
