Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Cost Keeping Only in rare instances were cost-keeping systems found in counties or townships. This condition is due largely to the notable scarcity of information available on the subject of highway cost keeping, as practically all textbooks on cost keeping have been prepared from the viewpoint of factory management and are not readily adaptable to highway work. Furthermore, the usefulness of highway cost data has not yet been generally appreciated by public officials. Purpose of the bulletin. - The purpose of this publication is to present, first, in an elementary way the principles which govern cost keeping; second, a practicable application of those principles to highway work. Development of cost systems. - Cost keeping was developed in the manufacturing industries. To Charles Babbage has been conceded the honor of having first called the attention of the manufacturing world to its desirability, in 1832, in his publication entitled "The Economy of Manufacture." Half a century elapsed, however, before factory managers, forced by relentless competition to eliminate waste and incompetency from their factories, began to introduce systems of cost keeping. Since 1900 the use of cost keeping in manufacturing industries has developed steadily. During this period of development principles regarded as basic have been established. While cost keeping for highway work is of comparatively recent origin, it is based upon factory cost keeping, and the same principles govern. Cost Elements. The term "cost," as generally interpreted and as used in this bulletin, is the summation of expenditures expressed in terms of money involved to acquire or produce a utility or to perform a service. The cost of every unit of product, whether it be a square yard of road surface maintained, or a cubic yard of concrete which is a part of a bridge or culvert, is composed of four basic elements of expense, namely: (1) The cost of labor. (2) The cost of materials. (3) The cost of service of plant and equipment. (4) The cost of general expense or overhead. Labor. The costs of labor are divided into two classes; first, direct labor cost; and, second, indirect labor cost. All labor chargeable against the product which can be designated as directly expended on it is called direct labor. All labor chargeable against production and not directly expended on the product is called indirect labor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Transportation Re-Makes America Outstanding in the progress of highway transportation in recent years is the uplifting of safety standards. Highway fatalities during the first half of 1939 were about a fifth less than they were a few years ago. At that rate, more than lives are being saved annually because of these improved safety condi tions, and the outlook is that continued progress in that direction will be made in the future. Better motor vehicles and better roads, plus a driving public which is becoming educated to the simple rules of safety, are making highway transportation safer. To day it is safer to ride a mile in an automobile than ever before, despite the great increase in highway traffic.

Download or read book Highways and Highway Transportation Classic Reprint written by George Richard Chatburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Highway Transportation The following pages on Highways and Highway Trans portation do not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject, but rather a glimpse of the vast development ofthe humble road and its office as an agency for transportation. Possibly the grandeur of the mountains is best appreciated by one who lives among them, who climbs their acclivitous heights, who daily experiences their power and majesty, and measures their magnitude by grim muscular exertion. But, even so, it would be foolish to contend that he who gets his information from the seat of a Pullman car receives no benefit from the hasty glimpse, or, that his imagination is not quickened and cultured by the experience. In writ ing this book, then, I have had constantly in mind the myriads of people who have not the time, and possibly not the facilities, to search the pages of the literature of the past for the origin and development, or to work out their present importance, of our amplification of roads and of road uses. It is felt that many of these people laudably desire a conversational knowledge of the origin, evolution and present status of highway transportation, even though it be glimpsed by a'very rapid passage through a very large subject. The primary objects have therefore been, to sketch briefly and simply the development of the transportation systems of the United States, to indicate their importance and mutual relations, to present some practical methods used in the operation of highway transport and to make occa sional suggestions for the betterment of the road as a usable machine for the benefit and pleasure of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways Green Book: Third Annual Edition, 1922 O combine in one volume a compendium of the outstanding highway activities of the past year and a forecast of the future is the Object of the Highways Green Book. Doubtless the most noteworthy highway achievement of 1921 was the passage of the Federal Highway Act which for the first time confines Federal aid road funds to a definite system of inter state and inter-county roads comprising not over seven per cent of the total mileage in each State and which at the same time pro vides at the suggestion Of President Harding, a plan by which these roads are to be adequately maintained. Thus the most im portant milestone in our highway history has been passed. Unusual progress was made last year in the matter Of highway research and highway engineering and transport education. For ward legislation in a number of States looking to more efficient administration of highway affairs, a larger measure Of centralized control and greater revenues from bond issues and taxation has been adopted. These subjects and many others of interest to students of current highway legislation, economics, taxation, progress, construction, maintenance and transportation are ably treated in the pages of this book by the best known highway authorities in the country. The Chairman Of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board believes that this book is a veritable storehouse of information on nearly every important phase of the subject of highway development and that it will, therefore, appeal to public speakers, legislators, college and high school students, newspaper and magazine writers, automobile and commercial Clubs, good roads associations, manufacturers of road building machinery and materials, contractors, public spirited citizens and above all motorists. The Good Roads Board of the A. A. A. Gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to all those who have in a broadminded spirit of cooperation contributed their time and effort to make the 1922 edition of the Highways Green Book a success.

Let us hope that he may be able to say that in approaching this great economic prob lem, they did so in a manner which showed that they were well informed as to the conditions under which they could deal with it in the light of the previous experience of men, and with the help which the resources of modern science could afl'ord them.

This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toll Roads and the Problem of Highway Modernization Progress in automotive transportation depends on continuing technological development in the automo bile and allied industries, and on the provision of adequate highways to permit the benefits of scientific advance in the vehicle and its operation. In the past we have directed the major part of our efforts in this field to the vehicle itself, yet the cost and quality of the final service depend on a balanced development of both vehicle and highway. Failure to give proper weight to the importance of the highway system has resulted in excessive transportation costs and inferior serv10e. There is growing recognition today that substantial modernization of our highway system must be under taken to achieve the economy and quality of service which the vehicle is capable of providing. A significant current approach to this goal is the development of toll highways. Many states are authorizing, constructing, and operating toll roads as a means Of overcoming as quickly as possible their most critical highway de ficiencies. Re-emergence of the toll road raises the question whether this method of financing and pricing highway services offers a desirable solution to the prob lem of reconstructing our principal highways, and whether traditional methods of highway finance are able to meet present-day requirements.
