COST OF ROADS and BRIDGES
MISSOURI RECORDS SHOW WOOD
EN- CULVERTS EXPENSIVE.
Some Counties Are Already Putting
in Stone and Concrete In
Their Place.

Jefferson City, Missouri-Missouri
has 10000 miles of roads, of which
1000 miles are of macadam, $500 are
of gravel and the rest of earth. The
bureau of labor statistics gathers in
formation about practically every
form of development in the state, and
the red book, it's annual publication,
will deal extensively in information
about roads this year.
In round numbers, the state, &C.
cording to this report, is spending
S2,750,000 annually on roads. The
same authority divides the expendi-
lures into 100000 for rock roads,
100000 for gravel roads, $1,000, 900 for
earth roads, 100000 for bridges and
100000 for culverts. On bridges
the cost of maintenance is II per cent
of the total amount spent. 1t takes
Al per cent of the money spent for
culverts to maintain and replace the
wooden structures.
Even the metal bridges are better
than the small wooden structures. A
few counties have learned to dispense
with them and put stone and con-
crete culverts in their place. On that
question the Lexington districts COM
missioners have shown an excellent
example.
The report shows how each county
is going ahead with it's work accord
ing to its own methods, and there is
wide difference in the methods of
different counties.
