BU|lO THAT ROAD
IS THEIR SLOGAN
CONTINUED from First page.)s

Gent Importance and value Ut the
city to justify their liberal support.
In other words, is it worth while!
Il believe 1t Is worth while, be-
cause the city of Richmond cannot
afford to have this great interna-
tional highway from North to South
90 by any other route. To DO so
would be a reflection upon the enter
prise and the spirit of this commun-
ity, and would be directly Injurious
to all the interests Of our city.
Il believe It Is worth while. De-
cause the direct profits which would
result to this community would soon
repay the entire cost of the construc-
ton of the road.
Increase IN Property Values.
1.-The increase in property values
in tn. caah.'us would be the .Ire"t
benefit to them, and to the State and
Of indirect benefit to this city.
IL believe 1t to be- not an extrava-
CANT estimate when ] say that II the
people OF Richmond would realize
the Importance Of this enterprise and
would contribute the entire cost OF
building a highway OF the most i'm
proved character from Richmond to
Washington without aid from any
source. within Ave years from the
date of ,ts completion the amount OF
the cost would be more than repaid
to the peopjs of this community In
direct expenditures. while the indi-
rect benefits would be beyond COM
putation.
while all commercial enterprises
must be measured primarily by COM
mercial standards. and the question
answered a. to wether they will pay
in commercial values. yet ] believe
that tho supror, Of this enterprise
ID worth while from another, and to
me, even more potent reason In that
1t gives an opportunity to the people
OF this city to render from their sub
stance, their time and their efforts.
