direct benefit from good roads. So
good roads are an investment as sure
ly as building barns. drainage or any
other Improvement that adds value.
Second.-The roads ought to be built
in systems. many miles at time. In
this way better work can be secured
and the cost per mile will be much
less. If twenty to thirty miles are
built at a time competition will be
sharp. Contractors will plan to use
the latest and most approved methods,
and the result will be better job at
10 to % per cent less money. There
is apt to be better inspection and con
struction, consequently less cost to
maintain. than if built in short strips.
