Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Biennial Report of the State Highway Commissioner: For Two Fiscal Years Ending June 30, 1916 In the back cover will be found large two-colored maps of the upper and lower peninsulas showing the completed, projected and prospective roads. These maps show the centers of road building activity and the progress of road work in the state at a glance. The trunk lines are distinguishable since they offer continuous lines of travel over long distances. Completed roads are shown by heavy red lines, roads applied for are indicated by open red lines, while gaps in trunk lines are denoted by heavy green lines. It is thought that many people have not a complete understanding of the field covered by the work of this Department nor of the amount and methods of expenditure of the public money placed at its disposal. For this reason, it is proper to preface the report with a description of the present organization for -road administration and its relation to the road work of Michigan. Following this will be given a resume of the road work of the State and the status at the close of the 1914 fiscal year, which properly introduces the detailed report of the work of the Department during 1915 and 1916. The report will conclude with a recital of the outlook for the future, and recommendations for future work.
