DO GOOD ROADS PAY?

The state of New Jersey bears the distinction of having made greater progress than any of the other sta, ,es in the improvement of her roads The road commissioner of that state has compiled some striking figures bea = ing upon the cost of transportation He shows that the saving on a bushel of wheat carried over good roads for five miles is equivalent to the cost of 600 miles of transportation by steamer or canal or of 375 miles by rail. It costs $2 ton to haul the farm produce of the American farm er to markel; and if all the hauling were over good rolsds, the total saw ing to the farmer would be $500. .00O,- 900. The most expens1ve part of the journey of wheat from the field to the market is that portion which les be- tween the farm and the town or rail- way station. This truth is becoming more and more widely known, and the practical economy of good rd.ds is giving every year greater impetus to the movement for the improvement of these bands of civilization
