Should Practice Economy

Those of you who have read the
clever story "Brewster's Millions"
will agree that that is not the ideal
way of disbursing public funds. You
will also agree that that public Of
ficer is deserving of greatest praise
who secures the greatest good for a
given expenditure. You will also
agree that it is not good economy to
build roads costing $4,000 a mile
where one costing $4,000 or $4,000
will serve every purpose. Nor are all
roads subject to the same density of
traffic. Some may carry 10 vehicles
a day, some 10 an hour, and some 0
a minute. / counted the traffic on
the beautiful Riverside drive along
the Hudson, near Grants tomb, one
day last November, and the count
gave TO vehicles per hour, of which
one-tenth were horse-drawn, nine
tenths self-propelled. Here the road
way was 40 feet wide, a splendid
oiled gravel.
1t is plain that for traffic between
the extremes of 10 vehicles day and
900 a day roads should be built
of varying width. There is such
thing as building a road too good for
the traffic, and | am sure Shakes
peare had this in mind when he wrote
of overshooting the mark.

Dairymen Profit

Just as good a story of the time
saved, and the money value of bet
ter roads, was given at the associa-
ton for highway Improvement held
in Richmond, Va, recently by one of
the White River farmers living near
Kent:
"Dairying is the great industry of
the farmers in that locality. Three
years ago We hauled our cans of milk
to the depot and paid / cent per
gallon freight to Seattle, including
the return of the empty can. Today,
on account of the perfect road, a
double-deck autotruck comes to the
barn for the milk and delivers the
milk in Seattle for one-half cent per
gallon, including the return of the
empty can"
Do you ask whether we can afford
to build good roads when the direct
return is so APPARENT"
For highly developed dairy farms
the saving in freight on milk alone
would amount to $4,000 per mile per
year, If we consider that one mile on
each side of the highway is tributary

GOOD ROADS
By w. j. Roberts, State Highway Commissioner

w ]. Roberts, state highway com
missioner, has outlined his ideas in
regard to the road question in the
following address;
The Columbia river is great nat
ural highway, and susceptible of won
derful development in the interest of
hotter transportation. Even our OBJ
otaeles are our assets, for while our
great range of mountains-the Cas-
cades-is a seeming barrier between
the Inland Empire and the coast
cities. yet the influence of these
mountains in tempering our climate
in furnishing the sage brush plains
of Central Washington with the
winter rains stored for SUNNI er's use,
and in supplying the potential energy
Of the mountain streams, is in reality
an asset-not an obstacle.
Washington has 10000 miles of
roads. One percent, or about 400
miles, inlay NC ISl llCu 6OOu lOado, Du
YOU want better transportation facili-
ties, and do they not benefit all
classes?
The cost of every bushel of wheat,
every box of apples, every gallon of
milk, and the laborer's dinner is in
fluenced by the road over which it is
hauled.
An illustration of the reduced cost
of hauling due to better roads was
given me by a farmer on State Road
No. s, east of Washougal: Before
the construction of the road he made
one trip a day, hauling 10 sacks of
potatoes. This cost him So, or so
cents a sack. After the road was
constructed his load was increased to
40 sacks and he made two trips a
day. Thus the relative cost of haul
ing under the improved conditions
was one-eighth the cost when imper-
feet roads connected his farm and the
market-50 cents under the old way,
cents under the new way.

Practical Roads Wanted

In our zeal to secure the ideal in
roads we sometimes overlook the
practical and economical, the sand
clay road, the gravel road, and even
the possibilities of the despised dirt
road, well drained and treated with
the split log drag.
So, too, in pushing our ideals of
proper standards we have. urged a
24-foot roadway for all state roads,
but when you study the effect of
width on cost and see that you may
cut the cost in two by narrowing the
roadway where the traffic is light, it
is apparent that roads of the $4,000
quality may be built for $4,000 and
the mileage doubled, with these same
"sinews of war"
A civil engineer mas been defined
as a man who can accomplish with
81 what usually requires IS.
This means that prudence and
skill in road building are as essen
tial as on other public works of con-
venience and permanence.
In closing, let me give you the
specifications of an ideal road, IL
was written 5000 years ago, and yet
it us up to date:
Every valley shall be exalted, and
every mountain and hill shall be
made low; the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough places plain.
