ANNUAL EEPOETS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



the Forester and the Chief of the Bureau of Pubhc roads, and an 

 earnest attempt has been made, in the selection of projects for this 

 program, to incorporate only such projects as will eventually be a 

 part of the general combined system of Federal-aid highways. 



In addition to the projects under the appropriation carried by 

 the Federal highway act, a considerable amount of construction 

 authorized under former appropriations by Congress has been carried 

 on. The status of all of the forest highway projects is shown in the 

 tabulations. 



For the administration of national forest road work a regional 

 office was established at San Francisco during the preceding fiscal 

 year, and the highway work in the five western districts is handled 

 through this office under the direction and supervision of a deputy 

 chief engineer. The work in the eastern districts is being handled 

 through the various district engineers and the Washington office. 

 The amount of forest road work in the eastern districts is compara- 

 tively small, and this arrangement seems to be working out very 

 satisfactorily.
