yERMoNTS ROAD PROBLEM

The following from the Bennington
saEner was brought out by an editor
ial in last weeks issue Of the Journal,
entitled No More Patch Work Roads. "
at is good thing to have this
question argued and it is always well
TO have disagreement, for il is by pre-
senting of various and varying opin-
ions that the citizens and taxpayers
become educated to a better under
standing. There is no other way so
effective IN getting at the facts.
"The question, as The Banner sees
II. is not what we want but what we
can buy and pay for. The Jou nal and
The Binner could probably agree
pretty well on what Bennington
county would like in the way Of roads
but such a system Of roads costs from
twenty TO thirty times the gand list
Of the county. The interest alone on
such debt would cost tax Of dol
lar on dollar Of the grand list year
after year without paying one penny

The Banner does not believe in put
ting any such burden on the people Of
Bennington county, and il does not be-
lieve the Journal would after thinking
it over II the state should do it, the
burden would be the same. We merely
instanced the county as dealing in the
smaller figures.
In the savings banks and the saw
ings departments Of the tional
banks Of Vermont there is something
over enc hundred millions Of dollars.
This j. a vast sum, more we believe,
per capita. than the savings deposits
Of any other State in the Union save

j The Banner continues its big figure
argument against permanent roads
Talk about 1000 miles Of permanent
roads is simply creating a "bugaboo'
to scare people.
Reducing the question TO Benning-
ton County, we have but one real
trunk line which would be considered
as Of prime importance in a state sys-
tenn and that is about thirty miles
long. II would cost only about five
times the county grand list instead
Of the indefinite figure Of twenty TO
thirty times the grand list as stated
by the Banner. A tax of so cents on a
dollar for ten years would pay for it.
The saving in maintenance would pay
a good part Of the interest.
There are other important roads in
the county which should be attended
to later, but we have TO consider the
through trunk lines first. AS we haye
said before, if the towns not on the
main trunk lines are going to oppose
the gradual development of an efficient
highway system because they are not
on such lines, there is little hope Of
doing anything.
If the Legislature refuses to con-
slider the good of the State as whole,
and sectional feeling is to continue be-
ing the dominant factor, advocates OF
good roads may well be discouraged.
Before the Banner gets through fg-
uring, il should get some figures on
what it is going TO cost to maintain
he federal road through Dorset, Mt.
Tabor and Dandy which cost $4,000
per mile. A pretty good road man
has figured that ten years mainten-
.nce added TO original cost will exceed
what il would have cost to build this
piece of road of cement. At twenty
years the cement road would have
showed a big saving.
II is pretty generally agreed that
he matter Of highway communication
$ a question of nation wide import
Ince and the federal government has
this. Practically every
,ther State in the Union has recog-
lized that highways should be built
or the greatest benefit Of all the
State. In the fact of this almost uni
-ersal recognition Of the Importance
4 the trunk line system Of roads, we
till have with us the patchwork adj
COATES who cling to the old town sys-
EN-, and say: Let the towns which
gant permanent roads build them.

times their grand is, for q highway
system that does not enter their
E borders
The Banner Is not afraid q debt II
incurred with sound business judg-
nent % meet an actual need bat there
Is 3 limit beyond which II is rot wise
/ 70 20. The federal government Is now
imposing a ,ax burden, direct and in
direct, o. over $50 per capita The
states. towns and school districts are
+ collecting half as much more. We
should think seriously before adding
70 our debt and tax burdens which
have already raised the expenses Of
every family b. hundreds Of dollars
annually.
TO plunge eXperimentally while
cur incomes are decreasing is a rash
step even though we should all like to
see Vermont have state system Of
hard surface roads II is a law Of
nature that We cannot have all We
want either in public or private life.
With 1900 miles Of highway in
Vermont, any system Of highway inn
provement may be truthfully called
patchwork system. If we can keep
the patches growing larger and bet
ter from year TO year we should not
be utterly cast down"
