Bad Roads Are Expensive.

An interesting story comes from
Virginia on the good roads question,
and it certainly furnishes an object
lesson by which every state in the
Union should, profit. 1t appears that
a gentleman with wealth and a desire
for a handsome country home took
his millions from New York to Vir-
ginia with the purpose of buying a
great estate. He found what he
wanted, the price was satisfactory,
and he had the money with which to
make the purchase-but he turned
right around and went right back to
New York, taking his millions with
him. Pressed for an explanation he
answered with just one word-roads.
He found the country roads in that
state where he had desired to locate
so bad that he turned away, and the
state lost enough to have made a
good start in the direction Of good
roads. On telling Of this story by a
Richmond paper, Norfolk paper
matches it with another along the
same lines, only Of larger importance.
This story has it that a gentleman,
this time also from New York, went
into the state in his wi interest and
the interest Of others, with the plan
Of investing large sums Of money in a
business enterprise. He found what
he wanted, but his automobile stuck
in the mud on a country road and at
the end of a disgusting tramp Of sew
eral miles he was in no humor to put
his money in circulation there, and
went on to another state and located.
These two stories serve as nothing
else could to illustrate the folly Of al
lowing roads to fall into a bad state.
1t costs money, Of course, to construct
and maintain good roads, just as it
costs money to secure anything else
desirable or of value, but there is no
investment a state, county or a COM
muni.y a make that will pay so we'll
on the investment. 1t argues well for
the future tina, the Virginia papers are
exploiting these two stories. They
are not isolated instances, but they
are none the less fofcibly illustrative.
II the lesson is properly learned, and
prohted by, the loss will not be with
out recompense 10 the state. II
would Re well il papers all over the
country would collect and exploit
every and all pf such instances BY
