Some Condensed Facts
about Good Roads

BY paving the streets of Bismarck there would be
an immediate rise in property values.
Slushy, muddy steets deract from me city's APP
,,earance and give the stranger a bad impression.
Like the good roads question the city paving ques.
ton is one of the biggest confronting the peop.e
te day.
In laying a city pavement or building a road the
most important thought in mind should be its per-
mancncy. Only the best pavement should be laid.
Otherwise the maintenance charges will be excessive.
The cost of hauling over a poor road is twenty-five
cents per ION mile as compared to ten cents per ton
nile overta bituminous road.
North Dakota farmers this year lost enough mocny
because OF poor reads to build all extensive state
highway system. Bismarck merchants lost money,
TOO, because Of poor city streets rs
Nipe.y.eight per cent OF the vast commerce OF the
United States, is first or last, transported over coun.
try roads.
Every farmer in New York and Massachusetts is
a booster for bituminous highways because he has
seen their economic value.
Use of brick and concrete is unknown on the
heavily Travelled streets of the east. Their mainten-
anCe charges were found to be excessively high and
tho surface could not withstand tho constant pound.
ing and pulling Of heavy travel.
Before state agitation is started here Bismarck
officials should gct busy and pave the streets. Good
roads are needed but arc not half as important as
clean, smooth city pavcnlcnts.
Eastern reads arc butt Of rock anC asphalt which
is imported from the natural lakes at BermuGcz and
Trinidad Islands. Asphaltic concrete and sheet sur
faces arc used in citfes and small towns because of
low maintenance costs.
Good roads boost bank accounts and permit tho
farmer to get to town at all seasons of tho year with
his prduce and return with his city merchandise.
New York spent $33. 0OO,0 900 to build 1900 miles OF
bitumnous roads this year and next year will spend
$50, 900, 900. -
Bismarck should have a boulevard system and
more good roads radiating from the city. This would
prove one Of the best investments any city could
make.

Some Condensed Facts
about Good Roads

1t is not SO much the question of roads, but BET.
TER A 1t Is false economy to build cheap
roads and then spend thousands of dollars in main.
tanning them when they show sigs of deterioration.
The bituminous roads of the east do not release
oil or pitch under the heat of the sun, nor do they
become hard and brittle in cold weather, Cracks
in bltuminous roads arc unknown. They are partic.
ularly safe Tor horses to travel on and slipping is
unknown.
Northwestern states build roads at $4,000 and
$4,000 per mile and five times tina: TO maintain them.
Eastern states pay $4,000 and $4,000 per mile for
natural lake %asphaltic reads and ~practiclly nothing
for their mintcnaucc,
Durlc.gh County farmers can telephone the Bis
ma,ck market and get satisfactory quotations on
produee but cannot haul it at certain SEASONS Of the,
year because of muddy roads. Their loss in this way
amounts TO thousands Of dollars every year.
Horses in North Dakota, and particularly those in
the Missouri slope, sink knee deep In mud, burst
harness and wagon, and cannot haul as big loads.
GOOQ rOduS WOulu permit luc hauling " tWiNc Liz III
tonnage and save wear and tear on horse, harness and
wagon. s
Cheap roads show early signs Of deterioration.
Then the maintenance charges become heavy and
there is Il howl from the people. L.smarck, Burielgh
county and North Dakota should profit by the mis-
takes wlic, the cast made when experiments were
made with Ypatcntcd' materials. Brown oils, para
fines and highly distilled materials used in road
building or city pavements only suffice temporarily,
Unless he people of Bismarck and North Dakota
show cnllu'"jlsm and focus their efforts on the city
authorities and state legislature and let their DC
mands be known, other states will go ahead and soon
North Dakota, and particularly the Missouri slope
will be known as the mudholc Of America, which
title now rightfully belongs to the state Of Illinois.
North Dakota is rich in everything else but good
roads. A state highway system would benefit every
resident, increase farm values from Is to. so per
cent and permit an easier means of communication
between all places.

they increased their good roads with
their army. The natural deposits OF
asphalts from the lakes bordering on
the Mediterranean afforded a product
and the famous quarries furnished the
stone. Mixing these with a skill
which was known only to the Romans,
they produced q highway system
which has been studied by all the
noted engineers Of the world.
For years the art Of road building

barrow Bribery Trial Halted
Again by Illness.

Los Angeles, July 22-The bribery
trial OF Clarence S. barrow was unex'
pectedly halted to-day by the Illness OF
l.. A. Leavitt, Juror. Not long before
court convened telephone message wai
received from Ell Monte that Leavitt hao
suffered an attack OF appendicitis.
Judge Hutton selected a doctor to visit
the juror and report TO the court to~mor'
row morning, until which time an ad'
journment was taken.
II an operation on Leavitt is neces-
sary the services of A. NJ. Blackely, the
thirteenth Juror, probably will be re
| quired. Leavitt had an attack several
/ weeks ago which delayed the trial for 9
few days.
Should the alternate Juror become a
regular member Of the jury, II will be
the first time in the history Of American
courts, according 20 attorneys, that such
a condition has prevailed. Blackely has
been subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the regular jurors. but he
cannot vote on verdict unless a regular
juror becomes incapacitated.

corning the check for $1,000 he was al'
legged to have cashed in a San Francisco
bank last September. The check had
been Endorsed by Mr.. Darrow, and It has
been the contention of the prosecution
that the currency received for the check
was used by the Mcnamara defence fot
corrupting jurors and witnesses.
