COUNTRY ROADS
WITHIN CITY LIMITS

AS result Of highways improve
ments by states and counties it is not
uncommon to ride comfortably. over
good roads for many miles and then
encounter very poor ones within
city limits is often due to the laws
under which road improvements in a
city must be financed. In many
cases the cost of the improvements
is borne entirely by the abutting
property whereas the rural roads are
improved at the expense of an entire
township, often with county or state
aid. The people of Sioux City, Iowa
had wretched roads leading into the
country for a number of years al
though the roads connecting with
them were considerably better. The
legislature was accordingly asked to
pass law, by which these country
highways within the city limits could
be improved at the expense of all
of the property benefited, just as the
wet lands in Iowa have been improv-.
ed during many years by forming a
drainage district for each section

distributing the cost Of The work

lature passed road district law for

THE TAX OF POOR PAVE.
MENTS ON THEIR USERS

Everybody knows that more power
is required to haul a load on a poor
pavement than on a good one. It is
only recently, however, that definite
figures Of the effect of the condition
of the pavement on its resistance to
traction have been obtained. The in
formation long desired has been fur
nished by the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology, which obtained
it by running an electric delivery
wagon over pavements and measur-
ing the amount of power required
at different speeds. These tests show
that it takes 20 per cent more power
to run at the rate of IL miles per
hour no a poor asphalt pavement
than on a good one. On a poor,
soft bituminous macadam pavement,
than on a good one. On a poor,
soft bituminous macadam pavement,
it sometimes takes as much as 125
per cent more power than is requir-
ed on good pavement of that type,
while such a pavement that is soft
but otherwise good requires about
40 per cent more power than hard
one. A poor water-bound macadam
pavement requires 60 per cent more
power than one in good condition.
The tests show that the increase
in power made necessary by deterior-
alton Of pavements mounts up as
the speed Of the vehicle increases.
As most motor vehicles run at the
rate Of at least Is miles an hour the
figures given may be considered ap-
proximately true Of average condi-
tions. They are particularly inter-
esting as enabling the automobile |
owner to estimate what good pave
ments are woth to him. It is usually
estimated that the average automo-
bile runs 5000 miles a year and
consumes 500 gallons of gasoline.
It 1000 miles are made on bitumin-
GUS roads and half of such roads are
in poor condition, and 1000 miles
are made on macadam roads of which |
two-thirds are in poor condition, and
if it is further assumed that the poor
character Of the roads increases the
power requirements by so per cent,
then about 120 gallons of gasoline
were used on account of the poor
character Of these pavements. At
Fl cents a gallon this means an av-
erage annual tax Of about $25. for
gasoline to pay for poor roads.
The case is different with horse
drawn vehicles, for with them the
loss is not measured in extra feed
for the horses, but in the slow speed
maintained by such vehicles on poor
pavements. In other words, the loss
lies in the reduced amount Of work
i is possible to perform under prac-
tical conditions. -

Sioux City, number Of road dis
tricts were formed within its limits.

Sioux City, a number Of road dis
tricts were formed within its limits.
The work was financed by first de-
termining the proportion Of the to-
tai cost of each road which the city
as whole should pay; this propor-
tion ranged from 32.8 to 49.35 per
cent The remainder Of the cost in
each district was then distributed
over all of the property within it,
some of the property being laid out
in lots and other parts being typical
Iowa farming lands. The distribu-
tion Of the expense was first made
by estimating that the lots and the
farm lands abutting on the road and
most directly benefited should be
ranked as paying 100 per cent as
sessrnent. Lots and farms at great
er distance paid a reduced assess
ment and in this way it proved prac-
ticable to raise the money in an
equitable manner rather than by
assessing the whole cost against the
abutting property in the old way,
which would have been impossible to
carry OF because the cost was far too
great to be borne by such property.
Under this system farm land carry
ing a 100 per cent assessment, paid
from $12. to $50. per acre in the
different districts, and there were a
few plots, where the special benefits;
were marked, which were given q
125 per cent assessment. Il

NORWAY HAS REACHED
| LIMIT OF PATIENCE
May Not Submit To Ger
many's Arrogant Demands
As To Shipping
By Lowell Mellett,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, June q. = Norway has
reached crisis in her relations with
Germany. Judging from information
received here today, there is reason to
believe she will not submit to Ger
many 's.- arrogant demands as to her
desperate desire to maintain peace.
Well informed Norwegians in Lon
don recognize the military purposes of
Germany's continued and illegal
destruction of Norway's shipping
They see the reasons for Germany 3
systematic campaign to wipe out Nor
wegian ships by submarines no less
than the remarkable German bomb
plots recently uncovered at Christiania.
The German campaign has already re-
duced Norwegian shipping by almost
one-third of its total before the war
tonnage. If it is continued, it means
the practically elimination of tie ma
tion IS shipping.
Norway is exporting great quantities
of fish, iron ore and nickel to Eng
land, while exporting practically moth
ing to Germany. 1t is this fact, it is
believed here, more than anything else
that impelled the German authorities
to try the terrorist scheme of having
German agents smuggle bombs into
Norway to put aboard Norwegian ships
"a deliberate effort to wipe out Nor
way IS merchant marine, as well as to
frighten her shippers and her seamen.
