SHARING COST OF ROADS.
Cities Should Aid In Constructing and

Washington. d. c., Nov. ga con-
spicuous example OF what happens to
county roads when city. the center
OF heavy automobile traffic, fails to
contribute toward the building and
maintenance OF country roads, Is
found in Spotsylvania county, Vir-
ginia. according to specialists in road
economies OF the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The country districts OF spotsylva-
MIA county some years ago issued
$4,000 OF Al and 8 per cent bonds
to improve their county roads. Under
the Virginia law, the cities Of the state
are not taxed for county purposes, al
though they may aid in the improve
ment OF roads for a distance OF ten
miles from the city limits II the city
council so elects. The city OF Fred
ericksburg. in Spotsylvania county
however. contributed no part TO the
financial burden OF maintaining the
county roads. The heavy automobile
traffic emanating from the point has
proved to be a very destructive ele
ment to the county road system. and
II was found that rapid deterioration
was taking place in the county roads
and insufficient funds existed will
which to meet the situation. The
county authorities accordingly estab
lished toll gates on the principal roads
and sufficient revenue thus was de

rived, not only to maintain the roads,
but actually to extend their construc.
ton a short distance. This reversion
TO a system long since abolished by
most countries was partially due at
least to the fact that the city in this
county had contributed nothing to the
upkeep OF the roads which residents
of that city use extensively for auto
mobiles. = "a
The writers of the report suggest,
in view of the very rapid development
of motor vehicles in the past decade
and the prospects Of much more wide
spread use OF this means Of transpor-
tation in the future. the desirability
of making provisions so that cities
may aid in the construction and main
tenance OF roads in the surrounding
territory.
