ECONOMY OF PERMANENT ROAD
CONSTRUCTION FOR TWIN
FALLS COUNTY

The growing sentiment for hard
surfaced roads in Twin Falls county
is in evidence on every side. When
you see two or more of our county's
citizens engaged in conversation, per-
haps on the street. in the commercial
club rooms, on the train or aver by
the dusty roadside, the wager is 10 to
l that their topic is good roads.
Why does this matter of improved
highways interest every man,
and child in the county? What has
each and every individual to gain by
their building. History repeats itself.
Therefore, let us consider just how
the systematic, and above all, eff
cient improvement of roads has bene-
fitted other communities, very few of
which have beer better able or more
in need of such han we are.
Aside from all social and educa-
tional advantages, the up to late high
way yields investment returns in the
following three ways:
Reduction in haulage costs.
Low costs of keeping the road in
repair.
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, it is only good
horse sense that we can haul a load
of one ton for one mile etc, as the
theory goes at far less cost when the
road is hard and u%nyielding than
when the dust measures eight inches
and the driver must exert great eau
ton less he be thrown from his We
hicle by the ruts and bumps. In a
word, the hard surfaced roads permits
us to haul two loads at one trip in
stead of having to make two trips for
hauling one load and we can do this
365 days in the year.
On the second point, that of main
tenance, the argument in favor of a
properly selected road surface is so
conclusive that further consideration
is unnecessary. Our best available
type requires in the neighborhood of
$50 per mile per year to keep in good
as new condition as against 5000 to
$1,000 for waterbound macadam. So
far as trying to keep a dirt road in
order is concerned, we know it cannot
be done and money spent in that way
is without doubt money wasted.
Now We come to the third point, in
crease of land values, as one possible
way of repaying ourselves for invest
ing in good roads. Without going into
too much detail, we can simply refer
to the unbiased facts given in the Uni
ted States government bulletion No.
136. 1t cites numerous cases where
END improvements nave naturally oc-
cured. 1t farther says that these in
creases are not confined to parcels of
land directly on the improved road
either. The enhancement is commu-
nifty wide.
Considering these three points alone
reduction in haulage, low cost of main
tenance and increase in land values
we are making a road investment thai
will pay large dividends.

with their feminine affeckshions,
or if their intenshions is honorable.
