Kansas Proposes New
Plan For Highways

Initiating new plan of assess
ing the cost of six great highways
Kansas is coming to the front as a
state which will have mile upon
mile of perfect road-at very
nomonal expense The state treas
urer seems to be the originator of
the scheme-which will provide
four splendid concret-and-asphalt
boulevards crossing the state from
north to southland two more
crossing from east to west; these
roads to be made of a heavy base of
strong concrete with an asphalt
dressing made in a manner to
avoid all erosion along the Sides
Kansas is 4OS miles from east to
west and EOS miles from north to
south and the cost of the construc-
ton OF the 1850 miles of this con
crete road is to be taxed, if the plan
be ADOPTED as now seems very prob
able, to the acreage of the entire
state Each acre of land is to be
taxed five cents annually for twenty
years-and this will result in the
collection in that time of more than
$4,000, 900; which sum will be suf-
fcient to place the roads in magni-
ficert condition.
1t is estimated that this is the
for Kansas the reputation for the
best roads in the United While it
is true that there will be millions of
acres not directly upon either one
Of these six boulevards it is recog-
nized that the various counties, of
which there are los, could with
small expense construct feeders for
main boulevards are constructed
uron fair geographical basas there
will be sixty counties through which
they will run-of which eight
would possess functions.
There are to be large representa-
tive gatherings held to formulate
complete details for the suggestion
which is promising we'll Five
cents an acre annually assessed up
on every acre Of land in Florida for
the period of twenty years would
permit this state to construct a net
work of magnificent highways and
boulnvards which, in addition to
the hundreds of miles now in pro-
cess Of making, would cause Flor
ida to lead the union in excellence
of trs ilic facilities and it is mat
ter worthy of serious consideration
among all classes of people.-Palm
