Of our roads are cheaply constructed to
properly resist the weight and grind OF
the wagon wheels new and important
results will be attained.
'Close study of these conditions re-
suited in the construction of q section
of brick wheel track road in the depart
ment Of agriculture grounds in the ear
ly part of 1900, followed by the intro
duction of this system in various places
for the improvement OF country roads
and city streets, also with most encour-
aging results.
The continued advance in the area
reached by the benefits Of rural free
mail delivery under aid from the ma
tional treasury indicates its deserved
popularity in the rural sections. A
steady increase seems probable in the
area thus benefited until all of the more
densely populated parts OF this country
are covered.
ITO the rapid and economical exten-
sion of rural mail delivery only one Oh
stacle worthy Of consideration presents
itself, but that obstacle is Of such ma
ture as to greatly affect its practicable
ity and economy. This is the present
condition Of our country roads.
Without question one Of the first
great movements toward the economic
al free rural delivery of the mails should
be the construction of T." sable roads.
This is already evident - TIE fact
that some Of the mail Dc" cry fonteS
have had to be abandoned OH account
of bad roads.
THE circumstance that over $G.G1i;.-
900 was appropriated by our last con
gress largely TO be buried in our muddy
roads in the delivery Of our rural mails.
while only the small sum OF $2u,U0U
was last year devoted to meeting the
road problem, indicates the gre2t reed
of education regarding the present ne
cessity and demand for vigorous and
intelligent road work.
'.As much OF these large 2ppropria-
tons for rural mail delivery could be
saved if we had good roads. ii is Chri-
Gus that an amount equal to 4 consider
able portion of these SUMS could he
spent to good advantage in educating
the people IN the work O. improving our
country roads ana thus forever close

"Iu view of these facts could not

lnent in constructing 2 secti"n CT brick

COST OF BAD ROADS.
SOME STARTLING FACTS AND FIG
URES BY MARTIN DODGE.

Our Poor Highways Said to Cost Cs
Their Condition an Obstacle to
Rural Nail Delivery.
Poor roads in the United States are
costing the people annually the enor-
nous sum Of SG50,0oO,OOO, which is a
tax of more than s. year for every
man, woman and child. This amazing
fact is pointed out by Martin Dodge,
director of the bureau. Of public road
INQUIRIES of the department Of agricul-
ture in Washington, says the New York
Herald. He advocates the construction
OF brick track roads with convict labor.
AS result of the good roads move
ment, which has been largely stimulat-
ed by the efforts of the department OF
agriculture, the road question is at
present receiving remarkable degree
of active interest, as Indicated, for In
stance. by a movement in the state
of New Yor.; FOR bonding the state for
SSO,OO0,OO0 70 build country roads.
This is wholly in line with bill before
the last national congress by Mr. Otey
of Virginia for $10O,00O,GO0 for the
same purposes.
MIR. Otey declared, ''In view Of ous
willingly having spent S40O,O0O,0oO on
the Philippines. it is time to do some
thing tangible for our own people
This is especially true" comments
Mr. Dodge, lin view of the fact that
we are continually paying an avoid
able mud tax of more than $3.50, 100000
each year for the privilege of driving
over our dusty and muddy roads. This
enormous expense is better compre-
hended by saying it equals tax OF
more than 81 each year for every man
and woman and child in this country
A careful study Of the road problem
in detail reveals some important and
significant features. While good road
stone is found in q very few places in
this country, good clays are found in
nearly every locality.
IF these abundant clays,' Mr.. Dodge
argues, .'can be used economically to
build good roads, they will greatly as

of how to construct Our country reads.
