In administering the ten per cent road fund, forest 

 officers charged with the actual plans and expenditures in the 

 neighborhood of their forests have, in almost ail cases, se- 

 cured an equal or a larger cooperative fund rom state author- 

 ities for the building af certain. pieces of road. 



With the money thus expended many important roads are 

 being built or put in repair. One on the Wyoming national for- 

 est, six miles long, makes accessible to farmers a large body 

 of timber and opens up a region of great scenic beauty- In 

 northwestern Arizona, part of the fund will be used in connec- 

 tion with the LeFevre -Bright Angel road, important because it 

 makes accessible to tourists the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. 

 In one place, the Ocean to Ocean Highway crosses the Apache 

 national forest, Arizona, and on this project the forest service 

 and the local authorities cooperated enthusiastically. On the 

 Florida national forest i western Florida steel bridges and 

 graded roads .jhave, under the stimulus of this fund, taken the 

 place of corduroy, bog, and sand* 



This federal road fund is now available in all na- 

 tional forest states of the west. Just as fast .as returns come 



v 



in, the forestry officials say, a similar fund will become 

 available in states in which eastern national forests are being 

 secured.
