;@er thought that suffer enormous Losses eacn
wear as the result of bad roads, says OTTO Dorher
chairman of the League Of American Wheeimen
Highway Improvement Committee But what do
these losses really amount to, and how much would
ha saved. II we had uniformly good roads? We
may say that It doesn't cost the farmer anything
10 market his crops because he does all The hauling
himself True but isn't his time worth somethingE
suppose that in place of every ton OF wheat or hay
or POTATOES loaded on his wagon he was able. as a
result of good roads. 10 load up two tons and to
the labor and in just half the time which required
st present wouldn't the amount OF time he could
save be worth something: and wouldn't u De worth
saving? Labor is the farmers working capital.
which he is continually seeking 10 make as pro-
ductve as possible.
w. NJ Brewster sometimes called Pop" who
has been identified with wheeling for many
years is now a resident Of this city. Mr. Brewster
has been quoted as favoring the League Of Ameri-
can Wheelmen giving up the control Of racing. My
sympathies are entirely with the League OF Ameri-
can wheemen" he said yesterday. land there IS
no doubt in my mind which side will win in the
end The statement that It is the sentiment OF the
members that the organization shall discontinue
the control OF racing is all wrong. The outlaws
have simply had excellent press work that is all
tion Of the organization held in Philadelphia. Then
II the League decides to continue In control OF the
sport, do not think that the National Cycling
Association Will attempt to hold another meet"
The Office Of road inquiry in the Department Of
Agriculture has estimated that over 500 900 OO
might be saved annually in the United States by
the construction of good roads. The statistics Of
the Department of Agriculture show the tota
amount of all kinds OF grain raised in the United
States. The amount consumed on the farms wai
estimated as being offset by large amount o.
other articles hauled by farmers the public
roads. By reducing this all 10 tons and using the
inquiries into the cost OF hauling ton as
basis II was found that the total cost Of haulag,
amounted TO s946 4ee5 and that two-thirds OF th
enormous amount might be saved each year.
