How Good Roads
Increase Land Values

The following editorial in the current issue OF
Farm and Fireside" explains how good roads
increase land values:
"The building Of great deal of fine paved
roads in Manatee county, Florida, has shown
how good roads affect land values. From 1911
to 1912 land along these roads increased on the
average $40 an acre, while lands mile from the
road increased only $40 an acre.
"Dinwiddie county, Virginia, is another in
structve case The building of 125 miles Of fine
roads caused land adjacent to the roads to in
crease in value from $24.25 to $50 an acre, while
lands ten miles away increased an average of
1882 an acre."
