 of 1914, 42,226 miles of public road of which 3,270.5 miles, or 7.74 

 per cent, were surfaced. Of the surfaced roads, 3,101 miles were 

 sand-clay, 85 miles gravel, 53.5 miles shell, 27.5 miles macadam, 

 and 3.5 miles bituminous macadam.

 second, with 350 miles, or 27.40 per cent; Florence County third, 

 with 225 miles, or 19.56 per cent; Richland County fourth, with 202

 ties is contained in Table 48.
