SUBSCRIBING FOR ROADS.

HoW Da4meFs IN . Missouri County
Built Fine Haghwa1u. "
The methods used in obtaining funds
10 build subscription roads, in Boone
county, NO, were describeda few days
ago by W. B. cauthorn, an engineer IN
Oo1anbfa who helped and who directed
the building of some Of the finest high
wsy9in that part Of Missouri, says. the
Kansas CITY Star. Il don't think Amer
icans ike the toll idea,' - Mr.. Cauthorn
satd, Especially when they are pay
ing taxes too. The subscription road
b more popular than the toll road. In
preparing to build the Columbia sfez-
ico free highway the promoters start
ed with nothing except confidence
They were laughed at, but they said,
let 10 build one mile and you'll want
twenty And that was trne. The
county court subscribed half the
amount needed. The property owners
adjacent to the first mile put up the
remainder.
'That was the start. It attracted
others living farther away, and they
offered to subscribe for mile, so that
the first contributors were given two
miles Of highway foe: the price Of one.
Others Joined in, and the work contin-
ned, the cost to each subscriber being
what he paid for one mile, and yet he
had the use Of the whole road. tits to be
extended this summer in the same way
until It b thirteen miles long, all free
highway. The highest subscription out
side that from the county court was
&1O0.- The sums ranged from IS to
500. Farmers were allowed to give
$50 In work. One man who owned six
ty acres gave 800 and worked it out:
He said the road added % per cent to
the value Of his land"
We've been hauling rock" farmer
said. ''9ome of us have got plum tired
waiting for laws. We're going to build
two roads this season, each five miles
long, by the subscription plan. They'll
be free roads. The county will contrib
ute one-half the COST The more we
get of these roads the more the farm
ers demand them. 1 know one man
who gave $1,000, and he owns only
800 acres. That's the effect of road
agitation in community. We get
subscriptions from abutt1ng property
and from benefited districts. Every
one who goes near thu road is asked to
help, and they all do It"
