Besides that, there is financial
wisdom in floating county bonds
for road improvement. In many
cases those bonds sell at preml-
UNI, and everybody interested gains
a benefit. In some Southern
States good road bonds have
brought price so high that the
premium has wiped out two or
three wears interest on the prlncl-
pal. In Bradley county, Tennes-
see, but a few years ago the super
visors voted bond issue Of $780,
600. Those bonds bore interest at
tie ste OF five per cent. 80 en-.
thusiastic were the citizens for road
Improvement, and so much conf
dence did they have in the locality
in which they lived, that the preml-
um was $4,000; the cash sales
placing III the county treasury,
$4,000.
1t has been acertained by the Of
fee of Public Roads, the Bureau of
the Federal Census, and the land
and industrial divisions of twelve
great railroads, that the building OF
modern highways Immediately en-
hanccs the value of the property
through which they run to a mark
ed extent. This increase is estl-
mated by the most conservative at
50 an acre, and by the more en-
thusiastic at 50. All concede how
ever, that the increase is immediate
and inevitable. Place the acreage
of the rural portion Of a county,
therefore, at 0,000 acres, and the
increased valuation due to the con-
struction of better highways at but
81 SO an acre, and it will be seen
that the property holders whose
land is to be thus benefited would
gain not less than 5000, 900. So
great an increase in the assessed
valuation of county seems to con-
stitute a powerful argument in ia
vor of q liberal first expenditure.
