the forests. While an immense amount of construction remains to 

 be done and many years will elapse before the system is completed, 

 during the calendar year 1921,1,104 miles of road and 2,959 miles of 

 trail were constructed or improved, and 3,007 miles of road and 4,294 

 miles of trail were maintained. These mileages include not only the 

 more important and costly work performed imder the supervision of 

 the Bureau of Public Roads, but also the comparatively simple and 

 inexpensive work done directly by the Forest Service. The figures on 

 accomplishments and expenditures follow:

Congress has now passed four measures appropriating money for 

 road and trail construction in the national forests. The first of

 4, 1912, which appropriated 10 per cent of the receipts from the 

 national forests in any State for road and trail construction within 

 the national forests of that State. The provisions of this legislation 

 were well adapted to national forest transportation needs, except 

 that it is frequently necessary to improve roads and trails which are 

 not entirely within the forest boundaries; but it soon became evi-

 meet the requirements both of the forests and of the local public. 



The act of July 11, 1916, therefore, appropriated $10,000,000, at
