BILE. In some localities stone roads
cost as much as $4,000 a mile; in
other localities as little rs $G.O00.
And 1t is out of the question that at
either of these figures the roads
would approach in excellence those
constructed when Caesar held sway.
The old Roman roads, 1t is said were
several feet thick. But the stone
roads which have been constructed
in this country need practically no
outlay for maintenance. This single
Item. according to experts, is suffi.
Client to justify the larger cost, to say
nothing of the greater convenience

MANY INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT ROADS

Many interesting facts have been
developed by the recent road census
OF the United States. The total mile
nge of our public roads is 2,112,59O
milestone mile to every As inhabi.
tants IL the aggregate population is
counted Mt 9O,0O0.OOO. the estimate
now being used by government Off
ciais. Incidentally, the total public
road mileage OF the country would
reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific
more than 700 times-more than 700
roads reach 1000 miles In length,
Many roads yet already have sound
very big when Viewed in this way.

rails, shells being used in some states.
While these figures are disappointing,
yet they show progress. For in
stance, the 10000 miles of gravel
roads would reach from the Atlantic
to the Pacific 35 times, while tho
more solid stone roads would belt the
continent nearly 10 times.
In this connection II may be said
that road experts have delved into
History In the study of this question
and have reached the conclusion that
Rome became great and ruled the
world largely because of it's good,
roads. To back UP this belief they.
point conyincingly to the fact that

Roman leglons first trod their solid
surfaces. And, 80 far as now known.
these monuments TO the skill OF an.
oient road engineers will last rs long
as our civilization.
The economic significance of the
public highways may be judged when
1t is said that experts estimate that
the aGriculturlsts pay out more each
year for hauling their products to
market than they do to, the railroad
systems of the nation. In bad wealth.
or an average team will haul as much
over good roads as animals twice their
draft will haul over bad rohds. First.
class stone roads frequently onabio
one horse or mule to Haul as much
as three or four animals. This re-
suces the expense Of getting products
to market in the towns, as we'll as
saving time. 1t also gives the people
far greater comfort In passing from
farm to town, and In cases of emer-
gency, such as calls for physicians
or haste to reach the railroad station,
the good roads prove of inestimable
value. ia
For these and other reasons the
road experts OF the government are
welded to the idea that first.class
stone roads are the ideal, highways
for the United States. They realize,
OF course. that in some states there
Is dearth of good material for stone
roads. Not every kind of stone can
be utilized for this work, even many
kinds of granite being of little use.
Then. too. stone roads naturally are
the most expensive ut the outset
