In 1904 New Jersey had 2,422.3 miles, or 16.32 per cent, of her 
total mileage surfaced. In 1909 she had 3,377 miles, or 22.75 per cent, 
of surfaced roads, while in 1914 she reports 5,897.45 miles, or 37.8 per 
cent of the total miles surfaced, thus showing that during the 5-year 
period 1909 to 1914, 2,475.99 miles of road, or 17 per cent of the total 
mileage, were surfaced. Information showing the total road mileage 
and mileage improved in the various counties is contained in Table 8, 
which does not include city streets. These are included in Table 9, 
which is supplementary and is given because New Jersey is, to a very 
great extent, urban in character, and the street and country-road 
problems are closely interwoven. Table 9 is copied from the Twenty- 
second Annual Report of the Commissioner of Public Roads, 1915.
