ROAD MILEAGE. 
The total road mileage in the Southern States as of January 1, 
1915, was 814,565, of which 73,594.78 miles, or 9.03 per cent, were 
surfaced. This does not include streets in incorporated cities and 
towns. By comparing these figures with former investigations in the

ber 31, 1914, 30,018.60 miles were surfaced. The total road mileage 
and the mileage surfaced as of 1914, and comparative mileage for 
1909, are shown for the Southern States in Table 4. Detailed infor- 
mation on this subject is presented by counties in the State chapters.
