Arithmetic and Good Roads.

The census returns show that there are
in the United States about II, 900, 900
horses, over 100000 mules and $4,000
asses. The annual cost of feed for these
animals is about $l,576, 100000. On fine
stone roads one horse can haul as much as
three horses can haul over the average dirt
road of this country. 1t is estimated that
it would be necessary to Build about ,000,-
600 miles of macadamized road in the
United States in order to have as good a
system of public highways as is found in
several European states. At $1,000 per
mile this would involve an outlay of 81,
OOO,OOO,OO pretty large sum OF money
But if one-half of the draft animals could
be dispensed with by the building of such
roads, there would be an annual saving Of
S73S, 100000 in the feed bill. This is 3
per cent interest on $50, 600, 100000. Con-
sequeDty, if road bonds were issued bear
ing per cent interest, more than 5000, 600
miles of macadamized road could be built
without increasing the annual expenses 81.
The people are actually paying > per cent
on 10000, 600, 900 in order to keep up the
present bad roads, while it would not cost
them one-siXth of that sum annually to
build the 100000 miles needed in order TO
put this country on par with France in
the matter of good roads
