ITEMS OF HIGHWAY EXPENSE
Maintenance All Have Vital Bear
ing on Road Plans.

The following is quoted from an ar
ticle by B. H. Piepmeier, maintenance
engineer, highway department, state
Of Illinois:
There are three principal items of
expense connected with road improve
ment which the engineer must impress
upon the public mind before 1t will be
possible for him to construct an econ
Omical system of roads. These factors
are: The original cost of the improve
ment; the interest on the money In
vested in the Improvement, and the to-
tai upkeep cost. When all Of these
factors are taken into consideration, it
is evident that many of the cheaper
types Of roads, when properly main
tanned, will give the desired service
and yet will be much more economical
on account Of their low first cost.
"When a type of road is selected,
taking into consideration the three
principles set forth above, it is very
essential that provision be made for
proper and efficient maintenance. If
local conditions are such that mainte-
nance may be delayed or prevented,
preference should be given to a type
OF pavement that requires only a small
amount of maintenance and which will
be serviceable for q period Of time
even with no maintenance whatever.

CARING FOR COUNTRY ROADS
