SAVE COST OF maintenance
Highways Which Cost Most at First
Are Always Cheapest to Keep
in Good Condition.

(By r. W. GAY, Mississippi Experiment
Stat:on)
With the recently awakened interest
In the cause of good roads the ques-
ton of financing road building is Of
first Importance. How road building
can be paid for is not the only serious
question, however. but which one Of
several possible methods of cOnStruc-
ton will best suit the needs of the
community and give the people the
best roads at as small cost as possible
within the limit of the available funds.
The first cost may he only n small
part of the total. Roads must be
maintained in good condition. and the
cheapest road is the one that costs
least per year to build and keep in
shape for travel. In New York state
1t was found cheaper to eXpend $4,000
mile in the construction of brick
highways than to pay from $500 to
$4,000 4 mile for macadam because
of the difference in cost of upkeep.
To save maintenance expense the
idea Of present economy must not be
allowed to Overshadow the importance
of building permanent highways. AS
q rule the roads which cost the most
at first will be the cheapest to main
tain.
