BAD ROADS COST

II would be impossible to find in
the whole United States a person who
has made any study OF public highway
conditions who does not bt lieve in the
paying qualities Of a good road.
One needs only TO look to Delaware
TO find that this is true There is not
a shrewder Judge OF investments in
that state than General DUPONT. He
proposes to build a modern thorough
fare across the entire length Of the
state and earn the interest on It by ex-
plotting the 100 feet of the right Of
way which is not used by the road.
This he looks upon as a sane and SEN
sible business proposition, and he
ought to know.
In many communities where good
roads or so-called good roads have
been built, the result has been dis
appointment But this is the outcome
Of lack Of knowledge as to how the
highway should be primarily construct
ed and as TO how II should be main
tained after once laid. good brick

well known how such roads should be
constructed-malntain permanent
value TO a degree which really makes
them free from the cost Of upkeep.
It is really impossible TO give def
mite figures as to what the people Of
the United States lose each year in the
matter Of transportation over poo
highways. but 1t will run into more
than eight hundred millions Of dollars
far more than enough to put every pub

than half a century ago the PROPOSE
ton was advanced in congress to build
a national pike from Baltimore to the
Pacific coast, and money for this pur
pose was appropriated. Almost insur-
mountable difficulties were experienced
in blazing the way across the noun
tains and through the forests which
were then as nature had made them.
The road was never completed except
from Cumberland, Nd, to a point in
Indiana Recently there has been or
ganized what is known as the Old
Trails Ocean to Ocean association,
having for its object the building Of
this road from New York to Los Ange-
les, which would give a complete
across-the-country highway Of the most
modern construction and the longest
in the world.
But the movement has gone far be-
yond anything like matter of purely
government aid and the different
states are taking Il up in their own
way. In Massachusetts, New Jersey,
I California and other states legisla-
lures have appropriated millions of
dollars for state aid in the carrying
on Of the work, and Ohio and other
commonwealths are proposing to fol-
low the example set by these other
states.
A very important factor in connec-
ton with good roads improvement has
been the matter of maintenance, and
often highways seemingly well con-
structed have gone back to their orig
inal condition because Of the lack of
proper care. But with the modern
method of building roadways, the
maintenance becomes a very insight
icant affair. For instance, Cuyahoga
county in Ohio several years ago came
TO realization that bad roads must
become matter OF the past. The
Cleveland merchants were the first to
grasp the situation and know that bet
ter highways meant more trade, there
fore larger profit at the end of the
!: year. Therefore the county commits
sioners were urged and willingly gave
their consent TO the building of sew,
eral hundred miles of modern thor
oughfares. Brick as a rule was used
and now. under the mode of construc
ton adopted, there is hardly a mile OF
all Of this new roadway which is not
in as good a condition as it was at the
time II was laid. The merchants fine
that they were right in their BELLE
that good roads meant better business
and at no place in the United State,
can more enthusiastic supporters O.
good roads be found than they. Blu
the farmers likewise, who live outside
OF Cleveland, are no less enthusiastic
{ because it has opened up to them al
avenue by which they can reach tn,
city every day of the year and do 81
without inconvenience. Moreover, the

BILE the weight they hauled under tn

A There was an impression abroa
at the time the agitation started i
\ behalf Of good roads that it wa

morse and carriage. but this has bee
