Pennsylvania west of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, would cost a little less than
81 30 per year on all average valuation OF
$500. In other words the cost to the
farmer and the city resident having property
assessed at 81, 800 would not exceed 81 80
annually, and that for but 80 years. If the
money were borrowed at per cent and suf-
icient of the proceeds of the loan placed in
a sinking fund bearing per cent interest,
the fund would just balance the entire loan
in that time
This is based on an estimated cost of
81, 800 per mile and on the present assessed
value of reakand personal property OF the
counties in the above area. As all the ma
terials necessary to do this work is at hand
in these counties, and also all the labor re-
qulred in doing it, in our view of the ques-
tlon 1t might be said to cost Just nothing In
the sense in which that term is usually used.
1t does not necessarily follow that outlay is
either cost or loss.
If the amount required to build 200 miles
in any given county is found to be $500, 900,
3O-year 4 per cent bonds could be marketed
at par. To entirely extinguish this
debt in 80 years would require
the deposit at the same time at per cent
of Sill, 200 nearly. This sum added to
$3.50, 900 makes $40, 200 as the sum totals
of debt incurred for the improvement and
for the sinking fund to extinguish it at the
end Of the 80 years. Thus it is seen that an
annual interest charge of SIS, S4S carries
and at the end of 80 years pays off and
terminates the entire debt. More than this
sum is being utterly wasted annually in
every county in the area of the proposed
Improvement by our present road system,
if shifting much on highway can be called
a system.
Lawrence county is used as the basis of
above estimates. Its tax appraisement is
little under 500, 900, 600, city and county,
and the average wealth is not above the
average of the State. MACADAM.

Correspondent Who Thinks Fifty Dollars
Per Capita Would Be All Right.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In paragraph regarding the proposition
of Congressman Otis, of Kansas, to issue
$4,000, ,OOO, 900 of money" one would think
you sought to create the impression that the
country could not make that amount of
money. This amount would not be $50 per
capita, and added to what we already have
in circulation among the people. it would
not make more than S45 per capita, whereas
we once had about S56 per capita and the
most prosperous times We ever had. People
were generally out of debt and business
was transacted mostly on a cash basis.
Now there does not seem to be much cause
to become alarmed lest the ''money" be-
come as waste paper, even if we have the
amount proposed by Otis issued Take the
St. Louis agreement and the Ocala plat
form. Both these demand $50 per capita.
This is a conservative demand by conserve
tive organizations. INQUIRER.
