Excerpts: About two decades have passed since one of our States, predominantly agricultural in character, built its first mile of rural paved roadway. The cost was financed in part from public funds and in part from private contribution. Not at that time or for many-years following did anyone foresee that the same State would be able, as it was in the one year 1930, to finance and to build more than one thousand miles of standard paved roadways, or that by the end of 1932 its system of primary rural highways would be nearing completion to modern standards of construction. It appears desirable to summarize briefly the principles expressed upon which there is apparently an international meeting of the minds of those who occupy positions of responsibility for and authority over highway affairs in their respective countries. These are grouped with particular reference to their dominant motive or particular application, but summarized in brief form which fails to develop the shades of meaning which may be necessary for application to any particular country. --- Administrative Policies Essential to Sound Financing -- Sources and Disposition of Highway Revenues -- Organization and Control -- Anticipation of Revenues -- Construction and Maintenance Programs.
