From the time of the first road
building in this county, the Dunbar
rel road has demanded an enormous
outlay for maintenance, on account
of the fact that it has been subject
cd TO more and harder use than any
other road in the county. AS the
country settled up, the maintenance
cost has increased in proportions to
the increase in travel and haulage,
antil the matter of upkeep of the
Gunbarrel has reached a serious
stage.
We understand that there is cen
siderable sentiment in favor of con-
structing a hard surfaced roadway
on part of the Gunbarrel and we be-
ton of the problem.
How Concrete Road Pays for
Itself
Taking up the different kinds of
road-building materials, we find that
a concrete highway 16 feet wide will
cost approximately SIS, 900 per mile.
Balancing returns against cost and
figuring the work on a cold bust
ness basis, leaving out wholly the
social and educational advantages of
a concrete road, we find this road in
vestment will be returned in three
ways:
1. Reduction in haulage costs.
2. Low costs of keeping the road
in repair.
3. Increase in farm land values
Fortunately for us, we have the
hardest kind of facts on all three of
the above points,
Taking up the first, we find sta
tistics given in Bulletin 1876, United
States Department of Agriculture,
compiled by the Office of public
roads. That department, by the
way, has a method of measuring
hauling costs by the ton mile; that
is, so much per ton per mile. But as
farmers we want to get at the facts
in plain, unmistakable terms. We
don't want to bother so much about
the fine points of percentage on this
and percentage on that. What we
want to know Is whether we can
haul two loads at one trip, for in
stance, or whether we will still have
20 make two trips to haul one load.
That is the essence of the whole
matter. OF course, we know that
when we have a road pavement that
has smooth, yet gritty non-skid
surface, we can haul three times as
much as we can on a dirt road. And
we also know that if we can use this
road every day in the year, we can
rely on getting to. market at any
and all times when prices are best
A good way to figure how much we
will make by building this road with
concrete is to figure how much we
lose in delays as we'll as from in
ability to reach the market at all
over roads made impossible by bad
weather.
Peter Coughlin, live stock feeder
living near Concordia, Kansas, lost
Sl,SOO in one week because he could
not get his cattle to market on a GER
tam day in response to instructions
from his commission house. His
part of the cost of concrete road
would have been nothing like that.

values-we are making a road in
vestment that will pay.
