The action of the Legislature in 1907 authorizing additional employes for the State Highway Department made it at last possible to develop the former incomplete organization into a fairly well balanced and adequate force with which the Department's work can be handled without continuing to impose unreasonable burdens upon any of its employes. A portion of the season of 1907 was necessarily devoted to re-adjusting and systemizing the Department' -:1 work. The formative period, which was developed slowly in the early days of the Department because of the inadequate force of employes and equipment, is now ended and the Department organ.ized and capable of handling a much larger amount of road construction than present appropriations permit.

The cost of inspection is 3 per cent. of the cost. 1,697 applications on file call for the...
Excerpt from Report of the State Highway Department of Pennsylvania for the Year 1905 The clerical work of the Department has increased so rapidly that the bookkeeping methods which were first adopted were found inadequate, although careful study had been given to the matter when the Department was organized. In order to cope with the increased work already necessary, and the further probable increase to be experienced in the future, a new system of keeping the records of the office has been devised, after examining the systems in use in the Highway Departments in other States. The new system will be soon put into use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
