BALTIMORE COUNTY AND GOOD
ROADS
GLENCOE. ND. Dece

GLENCOE Nd, December 18th, 1900.
.NessTs. Editors while the subject of good
ty, owing to the new road law. / wish to call the
attention of the taxpayers of the county 10 a
way of obtaining good roads almost immediate
ly, at less expense and with many other adVan-
tages than we now enjoy.
The county has paid in the last ten years on
roads an item that has amounted to SloOgVO
year. or 81. 100000. While the roads have Deen
improved slightly for the expenditure OF this
huge sum, the results are meagre when COM
pared with what might have been accomplished
by the expenditure of this same money under
proper system and as general undertaking.. II
the county would bond itself to the extent OF
S2,00O,0O0 the bonds would bear an interest not
over per cent. Such an expenditure would,
in short time, furnish the county with 800 miles
of the best kind of macadam roads. The cost OF
this move would be as follows:
Interest on bonds, at per cent?. ....S $1,000
Sinking fund to redeem bonds at 40 yrs. 5O,U0O
Repairs per annum..... 20,UUO
Salary of engineer and assistants. l0,OOO
100000
This expenditure OF $780, COO would leave a sur
plus compared with the ordinary levy Tor rOads
and bridges of about $40 as margin of safety.
These bonds would be sold largely out OF the
county, and the money would be expended IN
the county for labor and materials 10 the great
benefit of every resident in the county.
The minute any portion of the new road is COM
pleted saving would be effected by the users
of that road through decreased labor il hauling
and saving of time on Journeys. The land values
throughout the county would increase and more
people WOulQ move lDJO Tue county anu DuJ
property, for every one recognizes the advan-
tages of good roads.
Let me repeat. that by the expenditure per
annnm of less money than is now the case there
would be good roads, there would be saving OF
draft animals and hauling and time now lost, and
the land and farm values throughout the county
would increase rapidly. The county runs alb
solutely no risk, provided this enterprise is
placed in the hands of honest and careful men.
suggest this for the careful consideration OF
the taxpayers of the county. and am strong in
my conviction that the wisdom of this course
will sooner or later be generally recognized by
all. Very respectfully,
ASA b. GARDINER, JR.
