IMPROVED ROAD ADDS VALUE
Good Highways Are Wise Investment,
AS They Bring Farmer Into Closer
Touch With World.

The department Of agriculture Is au-
thority for the statement that road i'm
proyement in Dallas county, Alabama,
has added So an acre TO the value OF
lands within half mile of the i'm
proved road.
Good roads are a wise investment.
They bring the farmer into closer
touch with the world, increasing his
access to markets and his opportunity
for joy Of living, as well as adding
value to his farm.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1917-02-22

but there are multitude of little
things that later must he added or
repaired in order that the road may
be in good condition. Ruts and chuck
holes are sure to form and these must
be filed or the road soon goes to
pieces These things should be
planned for and, done quickly If the
improved road is to do the fullest
service, and this is the one thing that
commissioners are negiecting. They
become so imbued with the idea of
building good roads that they fail to
prepare for the maintenance of roads
already constructed.
