must keep ROADS IN GOOD
CONDITION TO Save Them
Counties Very Often Find It Easy to
Borrow Money for Improving the
Highways and Very Difiicult to Re-
pay the Debt

Washington, D. c., Nov. 21.-While
1t is frequently easy for a county to
issue bonds and borrow money for i'm
proving the local highways, the raising
OF the money to retire those bonds at
maturity is. often not so simple. Many
counties, in borrowing money for bonds,
hgure that the amount of money raised
represents the total cost of the road,
forgetting that the road must be main
tanned and repaired if, at the end of
the term of the bonds, the county is to
have anything to show for its invest
ment.
The question of financing country
road building is discussed fully in De-
partment of Agriculture Bulletin No.
l36, entitled Highway Bonds" which
Is written by the Office of Public Roads
IN collaboration with James w. Glover,
professor of mathematics and insur-
anee, University of Michigan In this
bulletin the authors discuss fully the
various methods of financing road build
ing and retiring debts for road con
struction, and also deal frankly with
the actual cost of road during the
life of the bonds. On the total cost of
road the authors cite the following
two examples as affording at least a
basis for estimating the total minimum
cost of mile of road built with 20
year bonds:
Bituminous- mac adam-Cost of con
struction ($10,500) under per cent
serial bond, with interets for 20 years,
S16,O12.50; cost of annual repair and
maintenance (s600) for 20 years, $12,-
600; total cost for 20 years, $2S,-
012.5O.
Brick-Cost OF construction ($1S,.
500) under per cent. serial bond, with
interest for 20 years, $26, 6,426.73; cost
of annual repair and maintenance
| (S300) for 20 years, $4,000; total cost
for 20 years, S32,42673.
The authors point out that the actual
cost Of building and maintaining Il spe-
CHE highway can be determined only
after the character and volume of traf-
| fic and actual wear and, tear have been
studied for series of years The fig
ures quoted above, of course, will not
! alplY to ordinary macadam, gravel OF
tiag iodus, but III All lHcSc cdSeo tAO
| interest on the bonds must be met, and
there must be expenditures to maintain
| them in condition. The poorer thG
| drainage and the less permanent the
/ character of the road foundation, the
greater must be the percentage that
repair costs will bear to the tirts cost
Similarly the question of whether the
actual surfacing is designed to with
stand the character Of traffic and wealth
er to which it is subjected also ha:
an important bearing on what it viii
cost the county to keep the road ii
such shape that when the bonds are
paid the locality still will have val
I1oic property to shoa as a result of It's
borrowing and repayment.

Chicago, Nov. 2l.--Roger Bresna-

ness and settled himself to the task

of that yet. -
Bresnahan declared that Heinie Zim-

MURPHY IS NOT A FACTOR
IN The NATIONAL GAME
Tener Says Chubby One Is Out of Base
ball-Former Owner Has Abso-
lutely No Voice in Affairs of the
Chicago Team

New York, Nov. 21.-After an in
formal meeting of the Eastern club
owners of the National League, held
here yesterday to discuss business
which will come before the organiza-
tion at its annual meeting and review
the general affairs of the league, Presi
dent John K. Tener gave out state
ment in which he declared that Charles
W. Murphy had nothing to do with the
Chicago Club so far as the league was
concerned.
81 do not know what was the inan-
cial agreement between Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Murphy when the club changed
hands last winter, said President
Tener, "but / do know that from that
time on Mr.. Murphy has had nothing
whatever to do with the league, either
by word, letter or otherwise.
"We have the word of Mr.. Taft that
he purchased Mr.. Murphy s stock in
the Chicago Club, and although Mr..
Murphy may have again cropped into
the public prints, there is no reason
why people should sneer and think they
have an excellent joke on the National
League and say He never was out.
When man buys q house and the
former owner takes mortgage on the
property no one can say that the pur-
chaser is not the owner. 1t is true Mr..
Murphy owns some of the realty of the
Chicago National League Club, but does
that make him partner in the Chicago
Club any more than Mr.. Taft is the
partner of Mr.. Baker, of Philadelphia,
because the former leases Mr. Baker
his baseball plant. Does that enable
Mr.. Taft to be affected in any way by
Mr.. Bakers baseball earningsl
SIT is also natural that Mr.. Taft
should consult Mr.. Murphy on his base.
ball business, as Murphy originally in
terested him in baseball and was for
years his partner. As for us, we are
perfectly satisfied that Mr.. Murphy has
nothing to do with the affairs of the
Chicago Club"
In speaking of the proposed sale of
the Chicago Club to Charles Weegh-
man, owner of the Federal League club
in that city, President Tener said there
was nothing in the National League
constitution to prevent any club from
selling its stock to any one who desired
to buy, but he added that the Chicago
interests did not negotiate with Mr..
Weeghman before finding out whether
they were satisfactory to the rest of
the league.
Governor Tener said he could not
tell. nor could any one tell, whether
there would be peace in baseball dur
ing the winter.

Department has demonstrated the value
Of the Cape Cod canal as a part of the
country's defensive system by sending

Discussing the lessons to be learned
from the European war, The Navy De-
rartment Statement on the subject
yesterday afternoon said in part:
1.-The part t@at Submarines are play
ing in the European war is emphasizing
their inn ortance in cur own plans of

permits them to pass freely between the

that can hardly be overestimated.

The loss to Mr.. miller will be heavy,
although he carried some insurance.
The barn was also insured. One horse
