ly a few general figures. In Massa-
chusetts the roads cost about $4,000
mile to build, the interest at per
cent on this first cost is 5000, and the
annual maintenance is about $500.
making the annual cost of the roads
about $1,100 a mile. In Maryland the
state roads cost about $10,600 a mile
down to the close of 1918, and the
average annual maintenance charge
that year was $434. This makes the
annual cost of mile of Maryland road
about s1,070.
If these are the true costs of lmproV-
ed roads, how are we to justify such
justification before some of our citi-

Hauling Cost.
DR.. L. l. Hewes, of the United States
office of public roads and rural en-
cheering, has made some interesting
investigations of the cost of hauling
farm products. In seven counties he
found the average cost of hauling one
ton a mile on unimproved roads was
29.1 cents. The range was from 16 to
81 cents. He also found that the cost
of hauling on system of improved
roads varied from 2 to 10 cents less
than on unimproved roads. If we con-
slider the average reduction as 5 cents
a ton mile, then thirty-three tons day
will provide $500 a year, and sixty-six
tons a day will provide $1,000 a year in
savings on the cost of hauling.
The return from a good road also
flows in part from its power to d.

uPKEEP EXPENSE
ON ROADS MOST
IMPORTANT part
Government Expert Tells
About Cost of Making
Good Roads.
BY e. w. JAN ES,


Chief Of Road Maintenance, United
States Office Of Public Roads.
The first cost of road Is not the
only element In its real cost, and it
is often not the most important ele-
ment- This investment becomes fixed
capital of peculiar kind, because a
county cannot sell road and recover
this investment as man can sell
a house. II a road goes to pieces 1t is
an absolute loss of fixed capital, un-
recoverable In any way. A road is
subject to constant and often rapid
wear and deterioration. To meet this
we must maintain the road In good
condition as variable annual cost or
there will be loss of the fixed CAPT
tai Thus il is the annual cost of
road that Is most important, and not
the first cost
This current, or annual, cost in
wolves two items The first Is the in
terest ON the permanent investment
The second Is an annual charge to
keep the fixed capital representa- by
the road in an unimpaired condition.
The best way to explain these differ
emit items is to cite their amounts In
an actual case where / investigated
the condition of the roads of a county.
Here IL Example,
The county had built a considerable
mileage Of limestone macadam about
three or four years before. In spite Of
all that could be done the roads were
fn . very dilapidated condition. The
county was spending about $3.50 per
mile per year on the roads, but the
condition of their surface was gradual
~ becoming worse. On the main road
Il was necessary to renew the entire
stone wearing surface The road was
about three years old and had cost
$1,000 per mile to surface originally.
To put down new top course would
cost $3.50.
The annual cost of that road was
made up Of these items: Interest at
6 per cent on first cost of surface,
$50: sum spent on maintenance.
$50; one-third Of the cost Of new top
course needed at end Of third year,
$3.50; total annual cost, $3.50. Because
the county officials had not consid-
cred what the real cost Of a road is
they found suddenly that they were
loaded with an annual charge they
could not meet without large addi-
tional direct taxes. Their only alter
native was to lose the investment
through the deterioration of the road
Had 100 Miles.
Another instance of failure to ap-
preciate what Is real cost Of a road
is afforded by county which is now
raising the maximum road revenue
possible under the State law. The
annual income for roads was about
$4,000 in 1915. The interest and
sinking fund charges amounted to
$4,000 The county has about 100
miles Of improved road and many
miles of unimproved road. with only !
$4,000 available to meet the annual |
cost Of maintenance. Obviously this |
county went ahead with it's road i'm
provements without a full knowledge
Of the real cost of the roads it was
building.
Will our people ever build any more
roads if the cost is presented to them
in this light? Before attempting to
answer this question will give brief

Joan the Woman
The unusual figure of the Angel of
Death has caused great deal Of
comment. This figure appears as a
vision to Joan of Arc at the time of
her impending danger.
It is tai figure of man draped in
black and wearing two enormous, but
graceful, wings of black feathers, and
mounted on a black charger. The
wings are modelled in the style of
those seen in the pictures of angels.
Four months were required for the
making of them, as they were made
from selected feathers and carefully
fitted together. Each wing measures
about eight feet in length and they
are so adjusted that they can be
moved at will by the wearer. Cecil
