INVESTED s1oo,o 900 PROFIT,

INVESTED $4,000 At 4 PROFIT.
Marshall county has contracted for
nearly 100000 worth of concrete
bridges to be constructed this sum-
mer and it will be the best investment
of public funds that this county ever
made. Every temporary structure
which has worn out will have been
replaced with a bridge which will last
100 years or longer with little or no
repairs. Last year the ninety-nine
counties in Iowa invested 100000 in
this class of public works, but these
same counties also wasted 100000
in repairs to temporary bridges, so it
is easy to see that at least one-third
Of all the bridge money spent last
year in Iowa went into repairs.
The concrete bridge should not cost
20 exceed l per cent per annum for re-
pairs and the money saved between
per cent and 3S per cent is the profit
possible in building bridges of
masonry.
But this 100000 invested this year
by MARSHALL county will be more than
twice the funds actually avaiia bic
for permanent bridge work. At the
end Of the year the county board will
have to sell bonds. These bonds will
run for twenty years at Az per cent
f,,rl dc
ficient from the regular bridge tax to
pay them off. Thus some of these
bridges will have been built with bond
holders money and these bridges will
cost half of AZ per cent per annum
as the whole amount will be half the
time on interest if paid off gradually,
or 2A per cent. 1t will cost Marshall
county pa per cent interest plus per
cent maintenance, or 3A per cent per
annum to build permanent bridges
with other peoples money. or 3S per
cent to repair old wooden ones with
the taxpayers money.
And it is vastly more equitable to
build 100 year bridge with bond
money, for in that way the tax can
be spread out over a long period of
years. People twenty years from
now who drive over that concrete
bridge will be paying for part of 1t in
bopds and they will use the bridge
while they are paying for It. Tie
concrete bridges paid for out Of this
years tax will have been paid in
full by the taxpayers OF today II
one taxpayer sells out and moves away
or dies he leaves the bridge behind,
paid for, and donated to those who
remain to use II. There Is more equity
toward taxpayers in the bond plan for
school houses that way.
Bridges are nothing more than that
part of a road which spans a stream.
Hills cut to grade stay cut forever.
They are more permanent than con-
crete bridges and their cost should be
pro rated over long periods Of time.
The surfacing Of road. too, will last
for a generation with small amount
of repair. It's first cost should be pro
rated over a period of years approx
mately equal to it's life. Only in that
way can taxpayers who are to use
the road be required to pay for what
they use. Bond money for roads dis
tributes the tax burden more equitably
than the pay-as-you-go plan, and that
is. why the states in which roads are
built with bond money have more
hard surfaced roads than we have in
Iowa and pay less road tax than we
pay in Iowa for mud roads.
