aonp ISSUES EoR RErER ROADS

BOND ISSUES FOR BETTER ROADS
The practice of issuing bonds by
counties and states to provide at once
large funds for use In the building w
permanent roads t. coming more and
more into favor among those who have
made any serious study OF effective
methods of highway improvement
There are many sections In which
the details of the bonding plan Is not
understood and where its advantages
over the slipshod, piecemeal, hand to
mouth methods at present In vogue
are not rightly appreciated. To make
the chief points Of the new plan
clear we give herewith some details of
the issue Of bonds which have JUST
been voted on in Jackson county, In
southern Oregon, roughly the territory
comprised by the celebrated Rogue
river valley. For generation past the
usual slovenly and wasteful methods
Of carrying on road work have been
followed. This expenditure has In
creased until In 1910 IL was $500. T42.
Oh an assessed property valuation OF
$5,COO.OOO. Under this system at the
present rate OF building but three
miles of permanent macadamiZed roads
could be built annually. the bulk OF
the money raised each year being used
I'm the continual repair OF dirt roads.
which during the rainy season from
November to March are beyond the
power OF words to describe. The plan
lust voted on authorizes the issuance
at once OF $1.500.000 In bonds, all OF
which Il available Immediately In the
building OF permanent good roads. On
the basis OF macada mixed roads already
completed this means that, instead OF
sixty miles OF macadamiZed roads at
the end OF twenty years, the county
will have between 800 and $50 miles,
and that just as soon as men and
teams can build them. SO much as to
the mileage OF good roads available
under the old and the new plans.
These good roads bonds run for
twenty years and bear per cent in
terest. payable semiannually. To pay
these bonds when due 1t will be only
necessary to raise 100000 annually
for twenty years This will constitute
d sinking fund. and out OF 1t the In
terest on the bonds VIII be met an
nually. The balance loaned out on 9
per cent farm mortgages and interest
compounded viii amount at the time
when the bonds are due to the million
and a half required to pay the face
OF the bonds. A slight additional levy
viii be made to cover cost Of upkeep
OF the present. but this will be but
fraction Of the amount spent each
year in the futile effort to keep dirt
roads in repair. The bond method
gives permanent roads. gives all that
are needed and the great advantage
Of the use Of them at once, while 1t Is
fair to assume that the rise in the val
ue Of property adjacent to such high
ways would represent value far ex
ceeding the total issue of bonds re
quired to build them. Many sections
have the 'Good roads" problem on
their hands more than others. but
where any serious thought IS given to
the building of permanent roads the
bond issue method is far and away
the most sensible and economical plan
possible. 1t has already been adopted
by New York and Texas as settled
road policy. the counties and town
ships cooperating with the state In
the good road work
