NEW ELECTRIC SYSTEM.
DEBORAH Firm Takes Agency for New

Monday evening the implement house

System, which is handled by the Inter
national Harvester Co., and Reed &

territory. The idea is to furnish cleo

The lady OF the house can also use the
power for flat irons, washing machines
cream separators, pumping water, etc
The electricity is stored in storage
batteries and run by power from a
gasoline engine The engine can be
used at the same time for other pur-
poses. After the batteries are filled the
engine automatically stops. When the
batteries are fully charged there is
enough electricity in them to run Is!

farm home can be lighted by running
the engine three hours, twice a week,
giving enough lights for house and out
buildings. The cost to operate is ap-
parently small, as all it amounts to is
what gasolene the engine uses.

THE PERMANENT ROAD
is THE CHEAPEST ROAD
Should Cost of Highway Be Figured
In The First Year or In The
Twentieth Year?

managers some time ago by asserting
that a million dollars a day are vast
ed by the railroads in inefficient man.
agement. The debate that ensued has
perhaps never reached any definite
conclusion, but it has had the effect
of calling to the attention of the rail
road world as 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 raising of
revenue for road building. They
have given America the impression
that if sufficient money is forthcom-
ing for good roads, the highway ques-
ton is solved.
medIlWHllS SNSItS III ANSW lOlh anu
almost every other state in the union
suggest this retort from the public,
"How have you spent the money that
you have raised in the past?"
1t cannot be claimed that road build
ers have wasted a million dollars a
day or anything like that sum. 1t
cannot be denied that there is a need
of greatly increased road revenue,
but the surest way to get road rev.
enue it to deserve it, and the surest
way to deserve it is to be able to
show that it has been so expended as
to produce dollar for dollar the value
that it represents.
To do this two elements must be
taken into account, first cost and per-
manency as well as a constant disable
condition. The cardinal mistake made
by large number of road officials is
that of counting the cost of a road as
soon as it is laid with no reckoning
of its out of repair condition. Gov
Glynn of New York riddles this policy
in his recent good roads message to
the legislature 1t is the cost at the
end of ten or twenty years that should
be the criterion. He says:--
New York is engaged in building
10000 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 $2O,000,O00 to $780,
100000 yearly to maintain and re-
build New York's highways when the
present system is completed.
This is the real highway problem.
at 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
years. 1t costs thousand dollars
year to maintain and resurface these
macadam roads And, at the end of
ten years, when these roads are worn
out, it will cost at least $4,000 a mile
to rebuild them"
