Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways Green Book: Third Annual Edition, 1922 O combine in one volume a compendium Of the outstanding highway activities Of the past year and a forecast of the future is the Object of the Highways Green Book. Doubtless the most noteworthy highway achievement Of 1921 was the passage of the Federal Highway Act which for the first time confines Federal aid road funds to a definite system of inter state and inter-county roads comprising not over seven per cent of the total mileage in each State and which at the same time pro vides at the suggestion of President Harding, a plan by which these roads are to be adequately maintained. Thus the most im portant milestone in our highway history has been passed. Unusual progress was made last year in the matter Of highway research and highway engineering and transport education. For ward legislation in a number Of States looking to more efficient administration Of highway affairs, a larger measure Of centralized control and greater revenues from bond issues and taxation has been adopted. These subjects and many others Of interest to students Of current highway legislation, economics, taxation, progress, construction, maintenance and transportation are ably treated in the pages of this book by the best known highway authorities in the country. The Chairman Of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board believes that this book is a veritable storehouse of information on nearly every important phase Of the subject of highway development and that it will, therefore, appeal to public speakers, legislators, college and high school students, newspaper and magazine writers, automobile and commercial clubs, good roads associations, manufacturers Of road building machinery and materials, contractors, public spirited citizens and above all motorists. The Good Roads Board Of the A. A. A. Gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to all those who have in a broadminded spirit of cooperation contributed their time and effort to make the 1922 edition Of the Highways Green Book a success.
