EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS.
Selling Price of Tillable Farm Land
Increases More Than Total Cost
of improvements.

Increases More Than Total Cost
of improvements.
To determine as far as possible the
exact dollars and cents effect on a
county OF the improvements of bad
roads, specialists of the Office of the
department made economic surveys
in counties in each of the years
from 1910 to 1915, inclusive.
This study Of the increase in the
values OF farm lands in the eight
counties reveals the rather interest
ing fact that following the improve
ments of the main market roads the
increase in the selling price of till
able farm lands served by the roads
has amounted to from one to three
times the total cost of the improve
ments. The increase in values in
chose instances which were recorded
ranged from 63 per cent to 80 per
cent in Spotsylvania County, Va;
from 6S to 1874 in Dimwiddle County
We; 20 to so in Lee County, Va;
% to 100 in Wise County, Va; 8 to
ia In Franklin County, N. Y; so
to 100 in Dallas County, Ala; 25 to
30 in Lauderdale Countp, Miss; and
from so .710 in Manatee County,
Fla. Tavo, tiratcs of increase were
based foF>ne most part upon the ter
rit0ry within a distance of one mile
on each side of the roads improved.
In Spotsylvania County a careful
record was made in 1910 Of 35 farms
located on the road selected for Inn
provement. OF the Z farms sold in
1912 the prices actually paid show
increases of from 81 to 116 per cent
over the 1910 valuation. The aver
age value after the roads were i'm
proved was $2Sy26 per acre, ~ COM
