This Commission regards it ap-
prOpriate to publish the letter from
the Office of Good Roads, Washing
ton. ID. c. addressed to the Chair
man Of this commission.
On country roads the cost Of
hauling is - cents and Z mills per
ton per mile. Take for example
an average load Of wheat of Is
bushels, at 60 pounds per bushel
equals 1900 pounds or two and one
quarter tons. Multiply the two
and one quarter tons by % cents
and mills brings the cost to 81
cents per mile for the load. For a
ten mile haul the cost is So. 10
which is about the prevailing
charge for man and team per day
in our state.
On railroads the average cost
is seven one-hundredth of mill
per ton per mile.
On she ocean the cost is three
one thOusandth of a mill per ton
per mile to take our grain from

Exceedingly cheap we say.
