average width of 60 feet. Mr.. Sturgis
has made calculations to the effect
that the farming area of the county
may be increased 1900 acres by the
proposed change. This is on the as
sumption that 1000 miles of roads
traverse tillable sections.
Not only would the reduced roads
provide a greater acreage. thus in
creasing the amount of taxable pro-
perty but the move would eliminate
the weed nuisance ON the present
wide roads The 30 foot road would
be sufficiently wide for travel and
would save the count- from the ex-
pense Of maintaining a wider road.
The only objection thus far raised
to the plan is that a 80 foot road
might be too narrow for combines or
for long freight teams to turn.
