Relative to the value of highways,
the State Board of Agriculture of
New Jersey has published pam
phlet showing how that State has
been affected BY some roads recent
ly constructed under the new law.
This pamphlet says of them:
Real estate has been doubled,
trebled and quadrupled i'll value
since the construction of Telford
roads from Orange to Dover, N. J.
One of the cronic grumblers against
taxes for road improvements in I'm
ion county, when asked if he would
consent to have the road restored
to its old condition in order to save
the taxes, replied "Well, as l
shall not be required to pay more
than two dollars a year for the rest
of my life, it would not DO worth
while" The travel has increased
on these roads tenfold in a years
time. Since the law went into eff
feet real estate values in Union
county have advanced near 81, $780,
900, exclusive of property ad vances
in Elizabeth Of about $500, 900
more.
