Budget for Two Years’ Road Work State Has Expended More Than $32,000,000 in Two Years On April 14, Governor C. C. Young signed the general budget bill for all state revenues and expenditures for the two-year period beginning July 1, 1927, and ending June 30, 1929, the total amount being $193,770,465.09. For the first time in the history of the state a detailed set-up of the revenues and expenditures of the California highway commission has been made a part of the budget data which was submitted for the consideration of the legislature. The setting forth of the detailed and explicit program to be carried during the biennium, including the listing of all work with its estimated cost, should have the effect of economical and efficient operation of the highway department.

M. Morton says: "The subdivisions of the highway organization are expected to follow the set-up for the period included in the budget which was prepared by them last fall and approved by the central office. This means that the efforts of the divisions should be concentrated on preparation of plans and specifications for the reconstruction work detailed in the budget. Projects not mentioned in the budget can not take precedence over those which are set forth in detail. The amount set aside for maintenance of state highways must be carefully conserved and handled so as to accomplish that maintenance without exceeding the appropriations. The same applies to the minor improvements, and to all other details of the set-up. "Inasmuch as the budget includes a two-year period of activities, the divisions are requested to separate the proposed work into a schedule for each year, with approximately half of the total expenditure for each half of the biennium. "To a large extent the option to initiate new reconstruction projects or to delay those previously considered of immediate importance, has to be foregone under the budget. The energies of the department must now be concentrated upon accomplishing only those things which are included in the budget. Each division organization should familiarize itself with budget projects and appropriations which concern its territory, and should, as soon as possible, adjust its plans and its forces to accomplish the construction as outlined."

ESTABLISHED 1905 the Southwest, July 1, and later another for the Pacific Northwest. Burke H. Critchfield will be in charge of the California and Southwest office, and William A. Schoenfeld will be in charge of the office in the Pacific Northwest. Lloyd S. Tenny, chief of the bureau, announcing the establishment of the regional offices, declared that the national importance of marketing and research problems in agriculture on the Pacific coast and in the intermountain states makes it desirable to establish closer contact with the bureau than is possible now by reason of the distance of the regions from Washington. The San Francisco office will serve the territory covering California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Mr. Critchfield has been connected with the bureau of agricultural economics several years, and has been identified particularly with the new type of regional economic survey begun in 1923. He has directed such surveys in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, the New Orleans trade area, Mississippi and Louisiana, Idaho and Montana. His latest work has been an economic study of the demand, marketing and production of northwestern prunes which was made at the request of producers, co-operative associations and private distributors in that region. He will give particular attention to developing contacts between the bureau's work and the various marketing organizations on the Pacific coast, will inaugurate marketing research and assist in relating the bureau's domestic and foreign demand information to the problems of distribution and marketing. William A. Schoenfeld, who has been designated for the northwestern region, was formerly assistant chief of the bureau of agricultural economics in charge of research, and also chairman of the crop reporting board.
