A NATIONAL EVIL.
Bad Roads Affect Business of the
Whole Country.

Bad Roads Affect Business of the
Whole Country.
Many people look upon the road
question as one which affects mainly Ii
not wholly the people of the rural dis
tricts. This is a mistaken idea. Road
conditions seriously affect the people of
all towns depending on trade with the
rural population. Bad roads hinder and
depress local trade by making it almost
impossible for the farmers to get to
town sometimes for weeks at stretch.
This depression in turn affects the
wholesale trade. Local dealers reduce
their orders, are slow in making remit
tances and have to ask for extensions
of credit
The business Of the railways is also
seriously affected. The farmers must
haul their produce to the shipping
points at times when the roads are In
fairly good condition. This causes con-
gestion Of traffic at times and partial
suspension at other times. AS a result
of this, the railway companies must
have a great many more cars and en-
gines than would be needed if the traf-
fic were regular and uninterrupted by
impossible roads.
The road question has an important
influence on our national finances in
much the same way, as it affects rail
road interests. 1t is well known that a
large amount of ready money is needed
in the fall Of the year for "the move
ment of the crops" This always causes
more or less stringency in the money
market. Good roads would make it pos
eible for the farmers to market their
crops more at leisure. would greatly ex-
tend the time during which then sur
plus would be carried to market and
would relieve these periodic strains on
the money market. which really have a
depressing effect on the business Of the
whole country.
1t can thus be seen that the effect Of
bad roads is far reaching. affecting d.
rectly or indirectly the people Of the
towns and cities as we'll as those of the
rural districts. The road question Is
therefore a national as well as a local
question.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1904-02-19

constant wear in soft spots, and when
1t rains a pasty mud collects that is
just as Objectionable as is the dust. The
tar sprinkling is intended to do away
with all this.
In the experiment piece of an ordi-
nary country road sixteen feet wide
just outside Westfeld, n. j., was taken,
says the New York Herald. Two Sec
tons about thousand feet long were
used On one the tar was run over the
roadbed with the dust and screenings
just as they lay. On the other the road
was swept to the hard surface, and
then the tar was applied. In both in
stances the results seemed to meet with
the approval of the roadmaking ex-
perts present.
The tar was put on in very crude
fashion by hand from a big watering
can. 1t had penetrated nearly an inch
after being on the road only three
hours, and in short time after it was
laid there was no tracking on it, and it
did not splatter on wheels driven over it.
The cost Of treating road in this
way with tar is estimated at between
$500 and $500 a mile for road sixteen
feet wide. This would require 5000 gal
Ions Of tar to the mile.
