Likewise Good Roads Directly In
crease tho Demand For Rural Prop.
erty, and Value Is 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 a community is shown in soRo
concrete illustrations gathered by the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
The department has just issued a
statement on the subject, based upon
a mass Of information gathered by the
office Of public roads, which is making
a special study Of the economic effect
Of road improvement In the country.
According to data gathered, where good
roads replace bad ones the values Of
farm lands bordering on the roads in
crease to such an extent that the cost
Of road improvement Is equalized, If
not exceeded. The general land val
ues as well as farm values show mark
ed advances with the improvement of
| roads.
! Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following:
| In Lee county, Va, 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 $25O,OO0 for road
improvement ard improved "a per cent
of the roads. The census of 1900 gives
the value Of all farm lands in Jackson
county at $500 per acre. The census
Of 1910 places the value of all farm
lands in Jackson county at 1919 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, adj
vances 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, is ruled by
the relations between demand and sup

One of the most elaborate collections
Of road models ever displayed will be

Reproduction of old Roman roads,
French roads and all the various types
of modern highways will be included
in the models. Miniature reproductions
of road machinery as well as every
other known device used in the build

EAST HAMMOND
MAN IS INDICATED
Albert Mroz Wrongfully Ac-
cused BY Pittsburg Man
Restored To Favor.

Albert Mroz. 1145 Columbia avenue.
East Hammond. has been indicated.
Mroz has been under cloud since
last fall when through an alleged con-
fession by a Pittsburgh man who be-
ieved himself to be dying he was made
to appear to have had a hand in the
murder of a man named Wincenty
Kozlowski in East Chicago eight years
ago.
The prosecuting attorney on looking
into the evidence garnered by a brother
of the dead man, Alexander Kozlowski
of East Chicago, who preferred the
charges of completely in the crime
against Morz, nolle pressed the case
| for lack of grounds on which to base
the charge
| 1t was about last November that
weird yarn was started in East Chi
| cago to the effect that a Pittsburgh
| man had on his death bed told of the
| taking off of KozlowslSi. The latter
| had gone one evening to Mroz's saloon,
| according to the story, in slippers and
/ oyeralls, to buy can of beer, He had
quite sum of money with him. He
| never returned.
| The story revealed by the supposed
/ dying man went on to relate that VIM
! Gently Kozlowski had been murdered in
the Mroz place, robbed of his money
and buried in empty lot back of the
saloon.
This revived memory on the part
of neighhor that she had gone to the
said empty lot shortly after the disap-
II pearance of Kozlowski and noting a
freshly dug spot, had started to- fill a
flower pot from 1t.
Mroz had driven her away and the
inference was. after the story of the
murder had come out that he had sus-
pected the woman of having knowledge
of the crime and of seeking to uncover
it,
On investigation not a vestiGe of
truth could be found in the story. The
loS in which the murdered man was
supposed to have been buried, was ex-
cavated and no grewsome skeleton was
revealed Mroz who lived in East Chi
! cago for a number of years before the
4 tragedy, is known an upright, fail
l business men, quite unlikely to have
! comitted the crime of which he is sus-
pected
In running the story to earth It was
found to be pure fabrication, and Mroz
. who has been much worried on account
I of the story having found its way back
| to his home town, In Poland as well a;
| | in this region, is much relieved by his
| vindication.
