Our Poor Xllplitvnys Said to Cost Us $650,000,000 Every Year In Repairs. Their Condition an Obstacle to Rami Rail Delivery. Poor roads in the United States are eosting the people annually the encr- j mous stun or" $050,000,000. which is a i tax of more than $7 a year for every man, woman and child. This amazing fact is pointed out by Martin Dodge, director of the bureau of public road i inquiries of the department of agriculj ture in Washington, says the New York Herald. lie advocates the construction of brick track roads with convict labor. As a result of the good roads movement, which has been largely stimulated by the efforts of the department of agriculture, the road question is at present receiving a remarkable degree of active interest, as indicated, for instance, by a movement in the state of New Y'ork for bonding the state for j $S0,000,000 to build country roads. This is wholly in line with a biil before the last national congress by Mr. Otev of Virginia for $100,000,000 for the same purposes. Mr. Otey declared, "In view of our willingly having spent $400,000,000 on the Philippines, it is time to do something tangible for our own people." "This is especially true," comments Sir. Dodge, "in view of the fact that [ we are continually paying an avoidj able mud tax of more than $050,000,000 each year for the privilege of driving over our dusty and muddy roads. This [ enormous expense is better compreI bended by saying it equals a tax of ! more than $7 each year for every man I and woman and child in this country." j A careful study of the road problem | in detail reveals some important and j significant features. While good road ; stone is found in a very few places in I this country, good clays are found in I nearly every locality. 4,If these abundant clays," Mr. Dodge I argues, "can be used economically to I build good roads, they will greatly asj sist in meeting the important problem of bow to construct our country roads. "Again, as all loads are hauled over | very narrow portions of roads through wheel contact?railroad cars, for example?it follows that if such narrow parts THIS IS THB COSTLY KOAD. of our roads are cheaply constructed to properly resist the weight and grind of J the wagon wheels new and important results will be attained. "Close study of these conditions resulted In the construction of a section of brick wheel track road in the department of agriculture grounds in the early part of 1900. followed by the introduction of this system in various places for the improvement of country roads and city streets, also with most encouraging results. "The continued advance in the area reached by the benefits of rural free mail delivery under aid from the national treasury indicate its deserved I popularity in the rural sections. A steady increase seems probable in the ! area thus benefited until all of the more i densely populated parts of this country I are covered. "To the rapid and economical exten! sion of rural mail delivery only one ob- 1 I stacle worthy of consideration presents j | itself, but that obstacle is of such a 11a- j ! ture as to greatly affect its practicabil- j ity and economy. This is the present j i condition of our country mads. | "Without question one of the first j great movements toward the economic- j al free rural delivery of the mails shouid . be the construction of p" '"able roads. j This is already evident % : the fact j that souie of the mail th ..cry routes , have had to be abandoned on account of bad roads. "The circumstance that over SO.dftO.1 (XX) was appropriated by our last cou| fress largely to be buried in our muddy roads in tbe delivery of our rural mails, while only the small sum of was last year devoted to meeting the ! road problem, indicates the gresit need ' of education regarding the present ne| cessity and demand for vigorous and i intelligent road work. "As much of these large appropriations for rural mail delivery could be saved if we had good roads, it is obvious that an amount emial to a considerable iiortio'i of these sums could Vie " v r? spent to good advantage in educating the people in the >v??rk of improving our country roads ami thus forever close a large uiaiu on our nations! cash bos. "iu view of these facts could riot a million or more be sjxrtt to the best legible advantage by the nations! government in constructing a section of brick track road near each county seat throughout the country as an object }?? son in each county in the roost advanced nio"iA>U' ire a Cold in On no Quinine Tablets. ^ sxontbs.
