Conditions are different now. Auto
mobiles are necessities to great de-
gree, and roads are needed to accomo
date them if only, for transportation
purposes.
'Thef fact is" reads the report, 1--WE
lose more by not improving the roads
than it costs to improve them. So
we may say that we pay for improv-
ed roads whether we have them or not,
and we pay less if we have them than
if we have not"
Hard surfaced roads are not econ
omical in every case. According to
the bureau of public roads, the types
of surfaces should be left to the dis
erection of those who actually use
them.
Profits Considered
at has been shown that the max
imum amount which it is proper 70
spend for the Improvement of a Civ
en- road is the sum of the individual
savings accruing from the improve
ment to the owners of the vehicles
driven over it, in the opinion of the
government road officials
1sWhat we spend for the improve
ment of any given road should always
be less than the sum total of savings
from the improvement"
The type and amount of travel over
a road determine to a large extent
the type of construction.
That the road should be made for
permanency is looked upon as an
absurd idea. There isn't such thing
as permanent road, say the govern
ment men.
