There are two elements that should
be figured in the cost of road con-
StructiOn. First, the cost of construc-
ton. Second, the cost Of maintenance.
It is the yearly average of these two
that should always be considered
when figuring the cost of a road. True
it is, that roads may be constructed
in such manner as to need very lit
tie maintenance, but these roads are
very expensive to build, and it is out
of the question to contemplate them
for the West. The other type of road
is the road that costs a moderate
sum to construct and then a yearly
charge for maintenance of said road.
