NONABUTTINC PROPERTY
Benefits BY GOOD ROADS
The Improvement of Market Roads.
Results In Improved Marketing
Conditions Which Benett the City
and Also the Farmers

Washington, Nov. 9.--The road
building specialists of the Department
of Agriculture, in bulletin No. 1856,
entitled Highway Bonds have the
followlA to say about the benefit of
Z wsn pnstructed highway to prop,
erty so1 ers whose property is not III
reetly ~ the ROAD to be improved
I'm planning the highway system
or the main market roads, il will be
found necessary TO omit many roads
the Improvement of which is greatly
desired by abutting land owners. The
fact that such property holders must
pay tax for the bond issue is only
an apparent injustice, for if the high
way system is well planned the en-
tire county will feel the benefits of the
Improvement. As rule, main market
roads reach the majority Of producing
areas. and when they are improved alt
land values tend to increase.
"The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to building highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made q
point of debate in bond elections. 1t
is argued that because 4 large part of
the county wealth is within the
corporate limit Of such cities and
towns, highway bond money should
also be used TO construct their streets.
1t is even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportiouate to the
assessed valuation within the city lin.
its. II the proceeds of highway bond
issues were distributed in this way,
their purpose in many eases would be
defeated. The primary object OF the
county highway bond issue is to build
county market roads and not to i'm
prove city streets, although hisa per-
eentage of the assessed valuation may
be city property. 1t is now known that
the expenditure of city taxes on coun-
Try roads is sound principle and that
It is one Of the best features Of State
aid for highways. In Massachusetts
the city Of Boston pays possibly 10
per cent. OF the total State highway
fund. but not mile OF State.aid high
way has been built within lis limits.
New York City also pays about 60
per cent. of the cost OF the State high
way bonds. Some State laws prohibit
the expenditure OF proceeds OF state
highway bonds within corporate limits
ot cities or towns.
The Improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
tions which benefit the city. Mos.
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their pros.
perity and development. The deve,oo-
men; Of suburban property for resj-
dence purposes is also dependent upon
highway conditions and il is becoming
evident yearly tRt whatever makes
for an increase in rural population
must be encouraged. Since the intro
duction of motor traffic, country high.
ways are used 10 m Increasing cXtcn
by city residents. In fact. the cost os
many county highways has
been greatly increased by the presence
of city owned motor vehicles. The
general advance in facilities fo~ doing
country business from town headquar-
ters when roads are improved is no
incousiderable factor in the CONNER
cial life of the community

One of the big successes of the past
season in New York and Chicago was
the French farce comedy "Madam
President with beautiful Fannie Ward
as the star which is to. be seen at the
Majestic Thursday evening. Six coun-
tries hailed "Madam President as
the most successful as well as the fun
niest farce of recent years. First Paris
laughed over it for year, and then for
ike period Berlin added her laughs
and plaudits, and it may be said in
passing that when Berlin and Paris can
laugh at the same fun it must be some
fun indeed, and of an international ap.
peal. To clinch the success Vienna
next took the play to its bosom and
Italy followed suit when the play was
presented in Milan. Then followed the
New York run and the simultaneous
presentation in London. Everywhere
it was acclaimed as the big laughing
success of the decade and Miss Ward
was accorded the palm as the best Co
bette who ever essayed the leading role.
SO "Madam President has the unique
distinction of having been a success in
six countries and in four languages.
Two of the best known dramatists in
France, Maurice Hennequin and Pierre
Weber, are the authors of the play. 1t
is one of startling surprises, continuous
laughs and real heart interest. Adv.
