pared with 1871 previous to the
improvement. In 1913 four trans
fers of farm land were on the basis
of '$3O.11 per acre, whereas the prop
critics were listed in 1910 at only
$13.89 per acre. 1t appears that the
1851 acres sold in 1914 increased
in value $28,5OO, or 80 per cent, or
from $24.46 to $44.10.
In Dinwidde County, Va, the &C.
tual price of 43 farms sold or offer
ed for sale from 1909 to 1914 ranged
in price from 1888 to 1914 per
acre before the roads were built,
and from $24.7O to 1880 per acre
after the roads were improved.
In Lee County, Va, a sturdy Of
eight tracts along the roads before
and after improvements indicated
that these properties increased about
$23 per acre, or about 20 per cent.
In Wise County, Va, study Of 8
representative farms located on roads
showed they increased in value from
an average of $40 per acre before
Improvement to 1914 after the
roads were improved. There were
increases in valuation in other Sec
lions of from $50 to $50 or. even
500 per acre.
In Franklin County. N. Y, the fig
