REDUCED ONE HALF.
Improvement OF Roads, Cuts Cost of
Hauling iu Train.

Figures gathered by the State Geo
logical Survey in Maryland as prelimi-
nary TO the work of road improvement
in that State show that of the Ii, 4s3
miles OF public road In the State only
1860 miles are improved The road
laws are not OF character to insure
good roads, and, as result. the roads
are badly located, badly graded, badly
drained and badly surfaced, causing a
very heavy tax on all hauling. The
average distance each ton of freight Is
hauled To or from the Maryland
farms is 5, miles. the average cost
is twentysix cents mile per ton, or
$l.i4 ton for the whole haul There
are about 5000, 600 acres OF farm land
in Maryland, and there is about one
ton OF freight hauled annually per
acre TO or from eaeh farm The total
cost, therefore, of this transportation
is over IS, 500, 900 year, The cost
of hauling In New Jersey has been re-
duced one-half where the roads are
improved Therefore, lay improving
Maryland roads one-hali Of this sum
could be saved. Making Il liberal al.
lowance for the fact that part of the
hauling is done over toll-roads, and
that some OF It goes over unimportant
roads that could not be Immediately
improved, it Is estimated that at least
So, 600, 600 a year could be saved by
improving the main roads in the State,
a similar estimate is reached by con-
sidering the reduction In the number
of draught animals necessary, and the
saving in the wear and tear on ami
