Abe Martin
Coolidgo has been selected to write the history of this
country in 500 words to be carved on a boulder in the Black
Hills. That's rather a severe penalty for being a man of
few words.
Just when you are inclined to think the experiment in
Russia may have a little merit you rend sonte ridiculous thing
like the manifesto to the Pope, and then get thoroughly
.disgusted all over again with anything connected with the
Soviet.
; INCREASING DEMAND FOR, BETTER ROADS
1 ' Roads will never cease to be a prevailing problem in county
: and state. A few years ago the issue was "good roads" and
now it has become a matter of good roads and better roads
construction of good roads and improvement of the roads
- that have previously been built. .Traffic conditions have
Bhown that one is as important as the other and any com
prehensive road plan must take proper nuiintaincnce into
' consideration constantly.
Market road construction has shown marked progress
during the last five years in Union county. The Ml. Glenn
road, the Lower Cove road, the extension of Hunter Lane,
new, construction in the Elgin, Union and North Powder
districts all these, considered in the aggregate, emphasize
the advance that has been made. Other roads, equally
needed, are on the construction calendar for this year and for
several yearsMii the future.
In spite of the improvement in the appearance of the
county road map, however, it is a question if road progress
is really keeping up with the demand. Eventually with the
funds available, the county will have a close network of all
weather roads. Isn't it possible that the same roads, con
structed more rapidly, would more than pay for the extra
interest charges in savings to the car owner and the owner
of benefitted property?
Recognized engineers have records to prove-that they
would. The cost per mile in wear and tear, in fuel and oil
consumption, in tires for an automobile operating over dirt
and mud roads when compared with the cost of operating
the same automobile over good gravel roads is rather gener
ally recognized now as being more than sufficient to pay for
the carrying charges of the improved highway. Like an
efficient piece of farm machinery in competition with old
hand methods, we pay for good roads whether we have them
or not. -' I . '
The only objection to a comprehensive road program that
would adequately serve every populated area in Union county
is the question of money. Opponents would like the better
roads just as well as the most ardent road enthusiast, but
they think it better for the car owner to bear the burden in
increased travel costs per mile than for the county to remove
that burden. Their conservatism is usually laudable, but in
this instance one is inclined to wonder if such a policy is not
short sighted.
Sometime in the near future residents of the county not
favorably located on good roads are going to rise up in their!
wrath and demand equality with those who reside on the j
state and county highways. They arc going to point out j
their constribution to the cost and maintenance of existing
roads and ask that others contribute in like manner to now
roads. They have done this in the past but have been handi
capped by a road measure that was ton ambitious at the time
and voters refused to give it approval. I!ut it will come up
again. It will come up with increasing regularity until the
road problem is more nearly solved. Individual road projects,
in The Observer's opinion, would receive more favorable
attention than a blanket project. Hut they are certain to be
demanded. And some day they will be approved. In the
meanwhile we can continue to be conservative and try to
make what money is available satisfy a need ten times as
great with the lack of mole and better roads costing every
citizen in the county a big sum every year.
