roads Is per cent and upwards. In
Boone county, where the gravel
roads have existed almost since pi-
oneer times, the lands along these
roads sell for 20 per cent more than
lands on the ordinary dirt roads
and yield an income greater in the
same proportion. The same is true
in Pike, in Rails, in ST. Louis cOun-
ty, in Cape Girardeau, in Jackson
everywhere throughout Missouri,
where are the rock or gravel roads
to afford the comparison.
These enhanced values are per-
manent and not temporary and
fluctuating as many opponents of
road improvement would have one
believe. The increase of rs per
cent in farm incomes and conse-
quent farm value of falmS on rock

roads, over farms in the same COM
munity on ordinary earth roads
maintains itself as well in Boone
Pike, Cape Girardeau and other
counties where the comparative re-
! lation of the two kinds has existed
for generations, as in places where
the rock road and the rise in value,
are matters but of the last year
