ways constructed with borrowed
money should be given as much con-
sideration as is devoted to the more
permanent features of the roadbed
1t has not been customary for off,
cials to face frankly the cost of the
maintenance and repair OF bond-built
highways at the time the bonds are
issued and before construction begins
AS matter of fact, Investigations
made by the department show that liz
the majority of cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method of building highways by
issuing bonds.
Maintenance Is necessary in order
to insure to the community the maxi
mum economic service by the road,
and also to preserve the investment
The cost of maintenance and repairs
must, therefore, be studied at the
outset. In the absence of general
data, the reports on maintenance from
states which have highway depart
ments should be of interest to county
officers preparing to issue road-build-
ing bonds.
Cost of Maintenance.
The following opinions as to main
tenance cost represent the results Of
careful analyses of state highway re-
ports, as well as much first-hand in.
formation gathered by the depart
ment's specialists:
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
farm traIic without showing marked
deterioration, even VIXEN there has
been no maintenance. Such roads
so-netimes actually improve during
the second season; n.ore frequently
however, they show ruts or chuck
holes. 1t cannot be expected that the
average life of a gravel surface will
be greater than that # macadam
surface, which In the New England
and eastern states is between six and
seven years. II sum equal to two
thirds of the original cost Of the
gravel surface itself is provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, 1t
should be estimated at frc Il $3.50 to
$3.50 per D1ile per year. II s3o is then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs. the total annual cost Of re-
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $3.50 to $3.50 per nile.
The annual cost of maintenance alone
is sometimes below $50. II Ben
nington county, VT, during 1912, IT'S
miles of gravel roads were maintained
at cost of s20.7C Per mile. TLe an
nual cost of maintenance and repair
on sand-clay roads, including all nee
essary resurfacing at periodic inter
walls, should not be fixed at less than
10 per cent of the original cost.
What Figures Show.
The cost of repair and maintenance
for water-bound macadam roads has
been determined with considerable ex-
actness from Massachusetts figures
and checked by resurfacing charges in
other states and in Germany. Prior
