EFFECT OF ROAD IMPROVE
MENT ON LAND VALUES
concluded from LIST pagel

,, during 1913 for $50 per acre, and fol
$55 to $50 per acre within one-halt
mile of the improved road.
A member of real estate firm in
Bradentown stated that land which
sold at $40 per acre before the road
improvement sold at $50 per acre
since the roads were constructed, and
that lands were sold after the road
construction which could have been
sold at any price before. Other ex-
amples illustrating the effect of the
improved roads on land values are
given as follows:
A prominent citizen of Sarasota
bought a tract of twenty-nine acres
about year ago for 1900, or $344
per acre, and resold April 1914, for
$4,000. or about $517 per acre. A
Orick road is to be built by lnfs
place.
\ tract Of forty acres one-fourth
mile Of Manatee-Sarasota road, six
miles north of Sarasota, which was
unstable before the roads were i'm
proved, recently sold for $4,000, or
SOS per acre.
On ManateeSarasota road, about
two miles south of Manatee, fifteen
acres Of uncleared land was offered
in 1913 for $4,000, or $166 per
acre.
Another tract of fifty-fve acres.
-four and one-half miles out of Brad
.entown, on the Palma Sofa road,
which sold at the time of completion
of the road for $50 per acre, was
sold again two years later without
additional improvement for $50 per
acre.
A tract of little more than 400
acres along the Ellenton to Parrish
road, about two miles above EHenton
recently sold for $40 per acre. This
same land was offered two years ago
for $40 per acre, but a purchaser
could not be found.
Additional examples of the increas-
ed land values might be given, but
the foregoing statements are sufti-
cient to show that the increases have
been remarkable and that the i'm
provement of the roads has probably
done more to bring this about than
any other factor. From all the in
formation available it appears that
there have been added from SO to
100 per cent to the selling price of
all lands. Figuring on this basis
and taking a strip one-half mile in
width AUDITING the new roads, we
have total of approximately SELL
600, in which is more than twice the
value of the bonds issued.
In 1905 the assessed valuation of
all taxable property in Manatee coun-
Ity was $2,074,016, while in 1910 it
had increased to $2,S2i,S13, or thir-
ty-siX per cent. The assessed valua-
Ition in 1915 was $8,085,100, a total
increase of 1905 per cent, so that
the rate of increase was nearly six
times as great as during the preced-
ing five years.
Within three years time this coun-
ty sprang from almost obscurity as a
producing and shipping section, and
became the creator of $1,000 tons of
outgoing farm products. Improved
roads reduced her hauling costs from
fifty-fve cents per ton mile to ap-
lproximately twenty-five cents per ton
mile, thereby effecting an annual saw
ing of S32,537 to her people.

ment? Wen say they are.-By w
