Survey Shows Good Road
Soon Repays Its Cost

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
A good road is such paying invest
ment that it is the poorest kind Of
business judgment to do without it, &C
cording to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The bureau produces fig
ures based upon a survey of traffic in
Connecticut to prove its contention. An
actual count of the traffic on the Bos-
ton post road showed that the average
weight Of vehicles and commodities
passing over the road in nine hours
each day was LAO tons Adding one
third as conservative estimate for
the full day increases the weight to l.
$40 gross tons daily
Experiments made at the Iowa ex-
pertinent station show that with gaso-
line at % cents gallon the cost of
moving this tonnage over a dirt road
would have been 1894 a mile, assum-
ing the impossible, that such traffic
could be carried over a dirt road. The
cost of fuel for moving the same ton
mage over paved road would be
$11.70, difference of $14.74 a day. On
the basis of 800 days a year the actual
saving in fuel alone for moving this
tonnage would be 81 ,422. If the paved
highway costs $4,000 a mile, the av-
erage interest at per cent would be
$1,000 a year, which, deducted from
the saving on fuel, would leave a bal
ance which would retire the cost of
the road in less than u years.
This calculation does not take into
account other savings in the cost of op-
Grating commercial vehicles or value
of the heavy movement Of passenger
vehicles.
In less developed rural sections the
value of the gasoline saved is reduced
In proportion to the lighter travel. but
the cost Of the roads is corresponding
ly reduced, and there is no doubt that
an analysis and comparison of the
highway costs and the vehicle operat-
Ing cost in any particular case will
demonstrate the economy of improve
ment wherever the traffic is sufficient
to call for any improvement at all.

Vast System of National
or Interstate HIGHWAYS

There was day, not very far back
when vision In road building was
about as broad as mans farm or q
community's interest. Pork barrel
methods and political pull, not vet a
memory, were a big part of the A.
cepred order. Then it became possible
to see to the county limits and still
later 1t gradually was revealed that
roads leading from one county re
another might be a convenience to a
reasonable number of travellers. Thus
emerged the idea Of state systems.
1t has remained for recent months.
however, to bring into potential exist
ence a vast system Of national or in
terstate roads that in few years NAV
reasonably be expected to lie, like
long ribbons of white, across every
section OF the country and link up the
states, the cities and counties even
more closely than they were joined in
the construction Of railway lines. The
Idea isn't dream, but thing Of ma.
nonal statute, provided for in the fed
er2s highway act of last November and
now rapidly assuming form through
cooperation of the state highway
departments with the United States
bureau of public roads.
The system will comprise more than
10000 miles, Z per cent of the entire
public road mileage Of the United
states. OF this amount three-seventhS
will be composed of interstate roads
the remainder to make up connecting
state systems. There is state and fed
eral money enough in hand or in sight
TO start the actual work, and nearly
all the states now have submitted to
the national bureau plans for the Sec
lions of road that will go into the in
terstate system. And the bureau Is
seeing to 1t that the sections meet at
the state lines. No federal aid will be
allowed on any highway which does
not ft into the general scheme of Q
national or state system.
This is vision in road building.
bounded only by the limits of the cOun-
try itself. II will mean results in the
shape of roads that link up and lead
somewhere and bring service to all
