Should Cost of a Highway be Fl
cured in The First Year or
in The Twentieth?
By Will P. Blair.

A Boston lawyer, Louis D. Brandeiz
jaTued the self esteem of railroad
managers some time ago by assert
ing that a million dollars day are
wasted by the railroads in ineffici--
ent management. The debate that en-
sued has perhaps never reached amy
definite conclusionybut it has had the
effect of calling to the attention of
the railroad world aus we'll as the
shipping and consuming world to one
simple fact:
1t is not alone how much money
you get, but what you do with it
that determines your prosperity.
Good road advocates for fifteen
years past have exhausted their in-
genuity and their efforts in. the rails
ing of revenue for road building. They
have given America the impression
that if sufficient money is forthcom-
ing for good roads, the highway
question is solved.
Meanwhile events I'M New York and
almost every other state in the unl--
ION suggest this retort from the pub
lie, 'How have you spent the money
that you have raised in the paIst?''
It cannot be claimed that road
builders have wasted a million dol
lars a day or anything like that sum.
It cannot be denied that there is a
need of greatly increased road rev
enue, but the sUrest way to get,road
revenue lis to deserve it, a9d the
surest way to deserve it is to be able
to show that it has been so expend-
ed as to produce dollar for dollar, the
value that 1T represents.
| To do this two elements must be
taken into account-first cost and
permanency, as we'll ais constant us
able condition. The cardinal mis-
take 1natp> by large number Of road
officials lis that of counting the cost
| of a road as soon as it is laid with
no reckoning of its out of repair con-
dition. Gov. Glynn, of New York rid
dies this policy in his recent good
roads message to the legislature 1t
is the cost at the end of ten or tWen-
ty years that should be the criterion.
He says:
eeNew York is engaged in building
I12,OOO miles of road, which will wear
out forty years before they are paid
for.
|'Unless the state makes a radical
change in the type of road it builds,
it will cost from $40, 100000 to $780,
900, 900 yearly to maintain and re
build New York's highways when
the present system is completed.
''This is the real highway prob
/ lem.
tEIt costs New York approximately
$4,000 to build a mile OF macadam
road which, under present traffic con
ditions, will not last more than ten
wears. It costs a thousand dollars a
year to maintain and resurface these
macadam roads. And, at the end OF
ten years, when these roads are worT
out, it will cost at least $4,000
mile to rebuild them"
The governor points out that inter
est and sinking fund charges on pre-
viors bond issues will amount to ST.
SOC, 900 per year, besides the cost OF
: maintenance and, at the end OF ten
years, the state viii have little te
show for its expenditure. Either the
road policy of the state must be
, changed, he asserts, or the state ia
: ces a taxation charge equal to s.
: for every man, woman and child II
the state.

they are a paying crop and I swell
