RURAL ROAD LENGTH
AT 5000, 900 MILES
United States Figures Based on
1922 Survey-Expenditures
Pass Billion Mark.

There were 2.941,2s4 miles of rural
roads in the United States in 1922, an
extension of 4e5,534 miles since 1913,
a survey conducted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture disclosed, 1t was
made known today. The total mile
age is sufficient to encircle the earth
at the equator 11S times, but is equiv
alent to less than one mile of road
for every $40 acres of land in the
country.
OF the total mileage 3S7,760 had
been improved with some sort OF
surfacing. Since 1921, the depart
ment estimated, surfaced roads have
been built at the rate of 10000 or
40, 600 miles a year. Rural road eN-
penditures in 1921 totaled s1,036,5S7,-
772. or s352.43 a mile, which amount
ed to 1885 per capita on the basis OF
the 1920 population.
The 1922 figures are the latest on
record in the department, much time
being required to search out the eX-
act statistics from the records in
$500 counties throughout the United

Educator Tells Writers Schools

The schools should develop in

Doctor Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, told delegates
to the congress OF the League of
American Pen Women today at the
book fair at woodward and Lo'
throp's.
Pointing out that it is the func-
ton Of education to preserve and
transmit civilization by means OF
books, Doctor Ballou indicated that
the schools foster an interest IN
good literature by introducing pupils
to a great many books and aiding
them to select the type in which
they find the greatest interest.

the United States that are listed
on the exchange or curb. but the
convertibility Of real estate COM
pares favorably with the hundreds
of thousands Of unlisted securities.
Comparing g. cooperative apart
ment home with a private resi-
dence, as to convertibility, the CO.
operative has this advantage-that
in cooperative building you have
an internal market made up OF the
friends of the tenant owners who
are DESTROYS Of getting into the
building, whereas in the ordinary
residence this is not likely to be
true.
Comparing the cooperative apart
ment home with an apartment
building as to convertibility, a CO.
operative has an advantage in that
it is only fractional part OF an
apartment building, SO that less
money is required to purchase IT
than is needed to buy an entire
building This opens up a wider
market for its sale. However, CO.
operative ownership on q large
scale is a comparatively recent
movement in the United States
and consequently not so many peo-
pie are acquainted with it's invest.
ment possibilities at this time as
are acquainted with other forms
of investment in real estate.
AS an aid to convertibility, each
sales organization will extend its
sales service to the tenant-oWner
who wishes to sell his apartment
and, although no agent can guar
antee and fulfill its guarantee con-
sistently to resell your apartment
at an advance over what it cost
you, each sales organization usually
has at hand number of prospects
who are interested in a cooperative
apartment home. The experience
Of the organization, its technical
knowledge. its office staff and all
its facilities are valuable at all
times to the people purchasing
apartments.

INTEREST
Many Questions Being Asked
Concerning New Plan OF
Home Ownership

The increasing interest In CO.
operative apartment homes is be-
ing shown by the large number OF
inqueries being sent in the apart,
ment builders and The Times Real
Estate department.
With the assistance Of Bates
Warren Of the NJ. and r. B. War
rem Company this paper is answer
ing three questions that have been
sent in during the past week.
How does cooperative apartment
investment compare as to safety
with the average investment?
In general it may truthfully be
said that real estate is one of the
safest forms OF investment. but the
preferred real estate investment
from the point Of view Of security
of principal and income will be
distinguished by two factors; first,
the property must be properly IL
nanced; second, the income from
the property must be reasonably
secured. These factors will be con-
sidered in the next two questions.
What details Of financing would
you emphasize in a cooperative
apartment project?
The size Of the mortgage COM
pareQ 10 the equity the inter SSI
rate, the date of maturity and The
sums which must be secured by a
new mortgage at the date Of ma
turity of the existing mortgage, are
vital factors in the consideration
Of any investment in real estate,
IN q cooperative apartment VEN
ture, 1t is not wise to have the
equity less than 40 per cent OF
the total value, it is better il 1t is
30 per cent or larger, for a group
Of individuals who attempt to oper
ate on small margin are likely to
come to grief the same as an in
dividual who attempts the same
thing. A small equity also results
In large assessments. Therefore
. small equity and a large assess
ment weakens the incentive OF an
owner under financial stress to
protect his investment. and this
increases the risk of every owner
In the project.
In the financing OF most co.
operatives, the principle of amorti.
cation is used so that the principal
