way home and that frequently by
building a highway around a hill or
grade but little appreciable distance is
added, and this is more than Offset by
the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief dra wback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates in some
cases running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old,
wornout fields and over rocky knobs.
The individual landowner will natural
ly raise question as to whether the
cutting up Of his property by road
will yield individual advantages and
so benefit his community as to Offset
the use of such land for q road.
In this connection the government
points out that the rounding of a road
and the resulting traffic through good
farm. where there are good sheep, cat
tie. horses. grain, fruit or vegetables,
has a certain advertising value and in
many instances makes the land more
valuable. In other cases the impor-
lance of such level road to the com
munity is SO great it might we'll repay
those using the road to give the farm
er the equivalent in land equally good
in place of what he has sacrificed to
the common welfare.
At any rate, the government is now
taking special pains to make clear the
economic advantage of avoiding steep
grades in roads, even at some sacrifice
OF better land. Investigation shows
that the laying out of such roads over
hills has resulted more from attention
to the preservation of farm lines than
from scientific attention to the prob
lem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able ito pull 1000 pounds on a level
road it would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up steep hill. The size
Of the load. therefore. tends to be meas
ured by the grade of the largest hill on
the road to market In many cases
actual experiment shows thar the re-
locating of roads around hills has been
accomplished either with no addition
