The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1922-10-04
By Kiwanian C. o. Russell

How Ramsey county is saving
thousands of dollars annually in road
building under the present up-to-date
system compared with the old sys-
tenn in shown very clearly by figures
compiled recently and taken from the
records at the County Auditors Of
flee.
According to the figures Ramsey
county spent in the year from 1909
including outside of federal aid par
ctically 100000 for county roads. This
does not include money spent for brid-
ges, but includes the county road levy
and donations made with in the county
for roads. There is very | title to
show for the amount of money spent
and it is certain that any fair minded
person will concede that the old
system as has been followed in let
ting the township spend the money
and do the work is very costly and
brings little if no results.
At the present time Ramsey coun-
ty is spending most of it's road money
in a different manner and with the
recent county projects and federal
aid projects this county is fast gain
ing a reputation for having some
of the best roads in the state. at the
present time new grade on the Sun
shine trail between Devils Lake and
Webster is being constructed and ac-
cording to figures that are available
this roads is costing in the neighbor-
hood or $500 per mile. The work on
this road is being done with county
outfit and a grader that will stand
up well against any federal aid pro-
ject in the state. When completed this
county road will have full "a foot
surface with grades and drainage up
to standard. If graveled this road
will make one Of the finest county
roads in thestate.
During the past three or four years
Ramsey county has completed 65,687
miles of federal aid road and of this
amount 36.97 miles has already been
graveled. A great portion of this
construction is along the Roosevelt
Highway running across the county
from east to west and tourists have
spread the information broadcast
that this is one Of the finest pieces of
road found along the T. 2. Highway.
A road like this not only benefits the
thousands of tourists That pass over
it annually but is big saving and a
comfort to the farmers and people
living in this county. Farm products
can be hauled over this class of road
at nearly one fourth the cost it takes
to drag them through the mud and
ruts on the average county turnpike
road. The road is accessible in pra-
ctically all kinds of weather and with
little maintainence can be kept open
the year around making it possible for
people to get into the towns more Of
ten and with greater speed. While it
is claimed by some that federal aid
is very expensive it is pointed out by
the above figures that the completed
federal aid graveled road in Ramsey
county cost just $3.50 per mile one
half of which is paid by the county,
and when compared with figures that
are being paid for roads in other Sec
lions of the country it is seen that
Ramsey county is building federal
aid road as cheap as any section of
United States and has a completed
road that will stand for ages if pro-
perly maintained and can be surfaced
