GOOD ROADS IN
DOLLARS AND CENTS
What 1t is Costing The United
States to Improve Its High
ways and What 1t Gets I'm
Return.

Washington, d. c., July 25.-
Approximately 2O6,000,O00 was
spent last year on public roads
in the United States, according
to statistics prepared by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
In 1904 the total was only $79,-
100000. In nine years, there
fore, the increase has been over
$50 per cent.
This awakening ON the part of
the country to the Importance of
good roads has, experts say,
been due in great measure, to
the principle of state aid to
counties and other local commu-
mites. New Jersey began the
movement in 1891 when it pass
ed its State Highway law. Mas
sachusetts and Vermont fol-
lowed a year later, but for the
most part the other states were
slow to move. In 1904 only fif-
teen had state highway depart
ments; today there are only 6
that have not. In 1913 the in
dividuaf states appropriated
total of $38,755,O88 to supple
ment local expenditures
The value of this state aid is,
however, not to be measured by
the figures alone, for the bulk of
the money comes, and always
must come, from the counties
and townships. Thus, in 1912,
the cash outlay by counties and
townships, was $137, 493, 985.
Complete figures for 1913 are
not yet available, but it is safe
to estimate the sum at approx
1851, 100000. To this
must be added some SIS, 900 to
the value of labor con-
instead of cash in dis
-ricts where this practice pre-
rails. Last year, therefore, To-
al communities contributed, in |
'ound numbers, one hundred and |
'iXty-six millions of dollars, as
against appropriations from
state treasures of S38, 1855, 099,
The true Importance of this
hirty-eight millions lies in the
act that it means expert super
yisiOn of the expenditure of a
considerable portion of the vast
um of two hundred millions.
When each county built as it
nose, the services OF trained en-
sineers were usually out of the
question. There was little OPP
to test innovations, lit
lie advance in the science of
bodybuilding, and there was also
difficulty in arousing each coun-
y individually to do its best
% improve conditions within it's
own limits. State aid has chang
I'd all this. The best engineer
ng skill is available for all work
If Importance, there is co-opera-
ton and a constant stimulus to |
further improvements. The |
contributed by the states

does not only build more roads,
it makes better those that 9TH
er money builds.
At the present time there are
in the United States 2O,741
miles Of roads improved either
wholly or in part by the state
aid. This is nearly the mileage
of the French routes nationales,
the system of great national
highways which is the envy of
every civilized nation. The
routes nationales are, of course,
only a small part of the total
mileage of France, where prac-
tically every road of any i'm
portance is an improved road,
and France is a vastly smaller
country, both in area and in
population, than the United
States, so that this comparison
is not, in itself, very flattering
to our progressiveness. It shows
however, that we have at least
made a beginning. Of the q
226,842 miles of roads in the u
nited States, 223,774 miles, or
approximately 10 per cent, are
classed as improved.
To improve the remaining 80
per cent may well seem a big
job. It is, in fact, only made pos
sible because the work really
pays for itself. From material
gathered by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, it is now
possible to prove not only that
good roads are a profitable in
vestment, but to determine ex-
actly what dividends they pay.
An investigator assigned to this
problem in any given locality
first ascertains the extent of the
territory tributary to any main
road. much as one might ascer-
tain the territory tributary to
some river The next step is an
accurate estimate of the total
products of this territory; SO
much grain, so much tobacco,
so much garden truck, etc, etc.
Of this quantity a certain por-
ton is consumed on the farm
the rest is shipped over the
road in question. The whole
calculation can then be checked
by investigators at the shipping
point to which the road leads.
In general it has been found
that the two methods yield much
the same information-the to-
tai amount of produce hauled
over the road. Next, the length
of the average haul is calculat-
ed, the size of load permitted by
the character of the road ascer-
tanned, and the cost of teams and
drivers figured. With these
facts before him, the inyestigat-
or is now able to state positively
the cost of hauling ton of
produce on that road, to express
in terms of these ''ton miles"
the freight traffic on the road
and finally the total cost to the
community of hauling it's goods
to market. Armed with this da-
ia, it is easy to decide how much
can be proftably spent in inn
proving the road and what are
the returns that the investment
yields to the community.
