HOW. GOOD ROADS
INCREASE VALUES
Farm Lands Bring Much Great
Or Prices.
IMMIGRATION ATTRACTED.

Likewise Good Roads Directly In
ersass the Demand For Rural Prop.
srty, and Value 10 Ruled by Relation
Of Demand and Supply.
The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic well
fare Of q community Is shown in some
concrete Illustrations gathered by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.
u. The department has just issued q
statement on the subject, based upon
q mass of information gathered by the
Office Of public roads, which Is making
. special study Of the economic effect
Of road improvement In the country.
According to data gathered, where good
roads replace bad mes the values Of
farm lands bordering on the roads in
crease to such an extent that the cost
Of road improvement Is e~qualized, II
not exceeded. The general land val.
ues az well as farm values show mark.
I'd advances with the improvement Of
roads.
Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following:
In Lee county, Va, a farmer owned
100 acres between Ben Hur and Jones
Vile, which he offered to sell for 81, 300.
In 1908 this road was improved, and.
although the farmer fought the i'm
provement, he has since refused $1,000
for his farm.
In Jackson county, Ala, the people
voted a bond issue of $3.50, 900 for road
Improvement and improved "a per cent
Of the roads. The census of 1900 gives
the value Of all farm lands In Jackson
county at $3.50 per acre. The census
of 1910 places the value Of all farm
lands In Jackson county at $9.79 per
acre, and the selling price Is now from
SIS to $25 per acre.
As the roads in no way affect soil
fertility or quality Of the farm. ad-
vance are due essentially to the de-
crease in the cost Of hauling produce
to market or shipping point. Farms
are now regarded as plants for the
business Of farming, and any reduc-
ton In their profits through unneces-
sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad
roads naturally reduces their capital
ization into values.
The automobile also has begun to be
an important factor in increasing rural
values where good roads are intro
duced.
immigration is particularly marked
where road conditions are. favorable.
In fact, the figures of the department
seem to indicate that good roads indi-
rectly increase the demand for rural
property. and the price Of farm land.
like that of any commodity. IL ruled by
the relations between demand and sup
ply.

PR06Rfss IN 1 CLEAN SPORT

just why the Healanis we're able to make
clean sweep on Regatta Day was shown at the
boat-club banquet last Saturday night at which
the yictors celebrated their unprecedented sue.
cess Coaches, trainers, crew.members and club.
members are all devoted to the interests Of the
Blue and White, and the club-members see to il
that the coaches have plenty Of good material for
freshman and junior crews The point was well
emphasized in this connection that the founda-
ton Of victory for the senior boat is laid in the
younger crews.
It is the ambition Of the Healani Yacht and
Boat Club to send crew to the coast to race
the best oarsmen that section Of the country can
produce with the unity and enthusiasm shown
in aquatic matters here now, Honolulu should
be able to produce yictors in rowing as we'll as
IN swimming.
Chief Justice Robertson's address at the civic
convention banquet, in which he urged the deyei-
opment Of rowing as an attraction for tourists;
was referred to several times at the Healani cele
bration. The help Of both the local boat-elubs is
needed to encourage the upbuilding Of this fine
sport for AIaui and Oahu. With the high level
that rowing has reached I'M Honolulu the oars
men and boat clubs Of this city may well assist
the other communities in getting crews ready for
next Regatta Day.
