II the good results of such a
road would be to the farmer
in marketing his products.
# viii viii be admitted without
argument that if we tad ll'd a
good road from Evening
Shade to Batesville the
farmers who would 60 to that
point to rP1k market their crops
':otl could save ore tAlrd Qffthe
tin tine which is now now reqplred;
fhe can save one third of
hls time the same condition
would permit him to hauul
one tHird more freight.
The conditions \ i 10 which, will
permit the farmer to haul
bpe third mere freight
within il! one third IT'D .lesss tine tin
than is now required will
also saye one third to him
in the way of wear and
tear of wagon and team.
Jet us reason ~ upon these II!
propositions.
The farmer who hauls
his products twennty:four
miles, at the season Of the
year wheA be is ready for
the market will be requlred
to employ twenty'f9ur hours
to make the trip. With a
good road he could make
the same trip in sixteen
hours, thus he would save
in time eight hours. This
time is wq'rrth l5c per hour
or sl,2o, "'' =" : Il "'
During the ; time the farm.
er is marketing his crops
Fifteen hundred pounds is a
good load. If we had a good
road he could haul At least
1000 pounds. This would
be a saving Of 500 pounds;
each each trip in going to market
not counting any freight
back. 1t is worth 25c per
100 pounds to haul this
freight to market, thus the
Sharp County record., 1897-07-23

and it will continue to cost
US Sl2,O 600 annually.
The cost of this road
every two years is enough
to makei it one of the finest
in the United States.
Can our people afford to
pay such a tribute annually
to bad roads? This vast
sum is entirely lost. los 1t
does not 60 ,eyen to enrich
the Golfers of the grasping
trusts.
These savings N time,
freight, etc, are not all
the advantages which come
to the people as a result of
good roads. 1t is a fact that
in Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Florida and other
states where the building
of good roads have recent
ly received great attention,
the real estate along and
within Ave miles of these
new roads has advanced in
price from 10 to so per
cent.
Some of the reasons for
this advance are that it re-
quires less time for the
farmer to get to market,
can haul more, and can
market products such as
small fruits which could
not be taken over the bad
roads, and the comfort
there is in travelling over a
good road is no small item.
These improvements enable
the present owners to realize
more out of their farms and
these very facts also increas'
es the demand for land along
these good roads. This
of course enhances the value
of real estate.
Let us now see what the
result would be IN the value
of real estate along the
Evening Shade and Bates
vile road should we succeed
in making the Improvement
contemplated, taking the
land on either side from one
to three miles.
We will suppose that the
average price of land along
the line is as follows: The
first mile on each side 1920
acres) is worth SO per acre,
the second So per acre and
the third 81, 50, and that a
good road would increase
its value twenty-five, fifteen
and ten per cent respective.
|
ly. The first mile is worth
500, 900. Twenty-Five per
cent increase would be $24,
900. The second mile is
worth $4,000 Fifteen per
cent increase would be $9,.
600. The third mile i,
worth $4,000. Ten per
cent increase would be $4,.
800. Thus we have an in.
creased value of the real
estate along this road if il
can be made such as is pos.
sible the sum of $3S, 900.
These figures are not i'm.
(, ,r..,,.., N>i - ,

one half Of this wear ant
tear occurs in going to mar.
.ket, thus a good road a WQulf
save in wagons each yea'
sl,5Q, to say nothing of th(
team and harness.
The average farmer vii
60 to market three times
during the season. With a
good road he would save
sl,2o in time and sl,25 II II
freight for each trip, OF
S2,45. In three trips he
would save S7,3S. Added
TO this the $50 for his
wagon we 7 lh7a7ye so'oo2' "hicR3 y !
a gQQd road would save ,P1{ our
farmers who live p miles
from market.
Let us look at these prop
ositions in another light.
Every farmer who goes to
market, or any one who
hauls freight will save one
third in time and freight.
This, on the same basis as
the above propositions will
save them 10 cents per hour,
let the distance be long or
short.
Thus where the farmer
now consumes 72 hours in
going to market it would
only be necessary for him
to consume 48 hours. This
q hours saved would be
worth at least l5c per hour
or $3.50. In this same 4s
hours he would save 1900
pounds II freight. This
ratio will be preserved
through a long or short haul.
Again. There is an area
of 500 square miles of farm.
ing country, the products
of which pass over this
road a distance from ten tc
twenty. five miles. AT least
900, 900 pounds are pro
duced annually in this ter
ritory. We will suppose,
which is not far from cor
rect. that the average dis
tance travelled over this roaG
each trip to market with
this IS, 100000 pounds is Il
miles. If one team with on
present road can move 15O(
pounds each load, it will,
require this team to make
10000 trips in order to mar
ket the annual crop. The
average distance is u miles,
therefore it will require this
team 10000 hours tc
market the crop. If with
good roads this same team
can move 1000 pounds it will
take $500 trips to market
this same crop. If this
good road saves thirf
in time, it would only have
to 60 8 miles. This woplt
require 10000 hours to dt
this same work, which
makes a difference in tim'
OF 10000 hours. This tim'
is worth to the farmer Is
per hour, Therefore a goo'
road between Evening Shad'
and Batesville would sav'
to our farmers annually il

JAIL BIRD CAUGHT.
Thomas j. Coffey, Who Broke Out of
New Haven Jail Saturday-Owned Up
to His Identity When Cantured.

Thomas ]. Coffey, Who Broke Out of
New Haven Jail Saturday-Owned Up
to His Identity When Captured.
Meriden, May 4.-Thomas ]. Coffey,
who broke out of New Haven Jail Sat
urday, was caught at o'clock this
morning by Patrolman Donahue.
Coffey was seen by Donahue in the
darkness near w. l. WilcoX's house
on Britannia street, which was bur-
glarized Sunday morning.
AS the officer approached he went
behind a tree, but broke into run as
Donahue came near.
The officer followed him for dis
lance, then pulled his revolver and or
dered the man to stop. The fellow
stopped and the officer on looking him
over found he tailed with the de-
scription Of Coffey
The man admitted he was Coffey.
When questioned at the police sta
ton he said that as soon as he got
out of Jail, he went to Wallingford,
slept there a night in shed and came
here. Sunday night he was here, and
| it is thought he with pal burglarized
the Wilcox house on that night.
There is a reward of $25 offered for
| his capture. officer Donahue ques-
toned the man and from what the
fellow said it is the superstition that
one of the other escaped criminals
was with him, although Coffey when
asked if this was so would dodge the
question.
| When Coffey was taken by Donahue
| he made no resistance Coffey is now
| back in the New Haven Jail again. He
will probably be taken before the city
court at the expiration of his present
sentence, and be tried for Jail breaking.
Coffey was serving six months SEN
tence for vagrancy, and had been such
a model prisoner that he was given
more liberties than the majority of the
inmates of the jail, which he abused by

1t fills the blood with the vital-elenents that

Mr. Wadsworth favored a continu-
ance of the policy Of improving the
highways and thought an appropriation
ought to be made this year.
After other remarks the hearing was
brought to a close at 1910.
After adjournment yesterday the COM
mittee held an executive session a
new bin was drafted which embodies
the principal features of the bill already
reported, but modified along the lines
Of the amendments offered.
The members of the committee were
averse to speaking further than this
concerning the bill. 1t is thought that
the bond suggestion of Ex-Governor
Buckley will have some effect on the
new bill, There is also a strong senti-
ment in favor Of a one-headed commits
sion, and this element win insist upon
this feature of the bill being adopted.
