that noiuf**p!irtH o f the Uniter) State»

pended aniiuully on road construction

Sin lew. taya n Waahlughai dlHputrdi to
the HI. Louis Itepubllc.
The olltce of the pnlillc roada In the
ngrleiiltural department recently com
pleted the collection, compilation and
publication o f Information from every
county o f the Unlte«l State» In regard
to the mileage of Improved and uulra-
proved country road» In the year 1901,
uud the expenditure» on road» and
bridge» from property and poll tax«-»,
bond lanueH and »tute fund» under the
»ta lc aid law», and the amount o f val
ue of the lulxir exjiended tinder the
Matute latMir law».
In 1904 there were 2.101,570 m ile» of
public road» In the United Htnte». O f
thl» mileage 108.232.9 m ile» were »ur-
faced and gravel, 38,1721.7 mile» were
»tone, and 0.809.7 mile» were »pec-la!
material». huc I i n» »hell», »und-clay, oil
and brick, making In nil 153.001.3 mile»
of Improved road. From thl» It follows
that 7.11 per cent o f all the roads In the
United state» have been Improved.
By comparing the total road mileage
with the urea of all the state» and ter
ritories It appears that there was .73
o f a mile o f road per square mile of
territory. A comparison o f road mile
a g e with population »b o w » that there
v a » one mile o f road to every.tblrty
th e Inhabitant» and one mile of Im
proved road to every 4172 Inhabitant».
The 2.151,570 mile» o f public road» In
the United State» do not Include road»
In Indian Territory. Aln»kn and the I*-
Innd possessions. The mileage o f road»
d<»*s not Include »freets or boulevards
In Incorporated cities mid village».
The majority of all the roads In th*
United States were originally Inld out
along the lioumlnry lines o f farms,
wltb little regard for drainage, topog
raphy and alignment. In the eastern
states tbe boundary Hues of farina are
very irregulnr, and consequently many
o f the roads are crooked nml badly lo-
ented wltb reference to grades.
In
tbe middle west, where tbe land was
laid out by tbe government, tbe roads
follow (be section lines and in thickly
settled communities the quarter sec
tion lines. In compiling these figures
tbe aim Inis lieen to Include only the
mileage of roads actually open and
In use.
Only four states have more than
inn.txX) miles of roads. Texas stands
tlrst, wltb 121,40ft miles; Missouri sec
ond. with 10S.133; Iowa third, with
102,448. and Kansas fourth, wltb 101,-
11H5. The District o f Columbia has only
191 miles of road. Ilhode Island has
2,301 miles, which Is Uie smallest mile
age of any state. Delaware has only
3,000 nml Arizona only 5.9S7 miles.
P.y comparing the road mileage with
the areas In square miles the District
o f Columbia Is found to stand llrst,
with 3.1S miles of road per square inlle
of area, while Connecticut Is highest
among the states, with 2.90 miles.
Rhode Island bus 2.24 miles and Penn
sylvania 2.21 miles per square mile of
area. Arizona has only five-hundredths
of a mile, the smallest mileage per
square mile. Utah has eight-hundredths
and W yom ing ten-hundredths o f a m il«
per square mite.
Assuming the average width o f the
rights o f way o f country roads In the
United States to lie forty feet, the urea
o f such rights o f way In 1904 «mount
ed to 10.431.727 acres. Estimating the
value o f this land on u basis o f the
valuation o f farm lands in each state,
the approximate value o f the rights of
way o f all the public roads would lie
$341.800.300. A much higher valuation
would lie amply just tiled by the fact
that In sections where the mileage of
roads Is greatest the land is consider
ably above the average In value.
O f the 153,082 miles of Improved
roads In the United States Indiana has
the largest mileage 23.N77 miles. Ohio
has 23,500, Wisconsin 103133. Kentucky
9,480, while twenty-nine states In all
have over 1.000 miles o f Improved
roads. In about two-thirds of the states
gravel Is the most used agency In Im
provement. while lu eight states the
miienge of macadam exceeds that o f
grnvcl roads.
/
O f those states employing special
kinds of Improvements to roads Cali
fornia has 2.541 miles surfaced with
oil. South Carolina has 1.030 miles of
sand clay mixture road. Maryland ban
250 miles o f shell road uud Ohio has
brick country roads 1,400 miles long.

ROAD PREVEN TIVE.
Method Adopted In Saxony
M acadam ized Highway».
on
Consul T. H. Norton, writing from
Chemnitz, says that n Saxon firm has
Introduced a new road binding com
position which ha» been tried on the
macadnmlzed streets of Leipslc and
other places with much success. The
material 1» thus described:
It is a mixture o f tbe heavier residual
oils obtained in the distillation o f coal
tar with high liolliug hydrocarbons.
The method o f mixing apparently In
volves a certain degree of chemical
combination. In which phenol and
similar constituents play a role. The
manufactured material Is prepared for
use by heating In Iron caldrons Identi
cal with those used for asphalt to
temperatures ranging from 212 to 248
degrees F. (100 to 120 degrees C.). It
Is then sprayed evenly over the sur
face o f a roadway with a special form
o f apparatus and uuder sucli high pres
sure that the fluid mass penetrates to
a certain distance into the upper layer
o f dust or dirt.
The result is the formation of a com
pact lustrous black coating which
meets the demands o f heavy traffic and
Is not disintegrated Into dust particles.
A marked advantage o f the new proc
ess over the metuods hitherto employ
ed for the same purpose and based up
on the use o f ordinary tar Is the total
absence of odor after the application.
ROAD
PHILOSOPHY.
Observation» by H oratio E a rle , Mich
igan's H ighw ay Com m issioner.
State Highway Commissioner Hora
tio Earle o f Michigan has issued the
following good roads philosophy, sayr
the Motor News:
"W h y don’t fanners keep farrow
cows? Because farrow cows eat as
much ns new milk cows and give only
about one-half as much milk.
"W h a t are new milk cows? Devel
oped farrow’ cows. ^
" I f farrow cows can be developed
Into new milk cows, why not go
ahead with the development and de
velop new tnilk cows with tulders
twice ns large as common new ,rallk
cows have? Because nothing would
be gained If It were possible to do It.
because the udder Is not the producer
o f the milk, but sImply the receptacle
In which the milk Is deposited, which
Is produced by the developed cow.
"In order to get more milk the whole
cow must be developed.
" A county with poor roads in the
country and poor streets lu the villages
and cities reminds me o f a farrow cow.
“ A county with good roads in the
country and good streets in the vil
lages reminds me o f a fully developed
new milk cow.
" I f It Is Impossible to get the whole
country under the county road law,
then adopt the good roads district sys
tem. which Is the couuty road law on
n small scale, permitting certain town
ships. villages and cities to operate
under the county rhnd system without
taking In the whole coupty.

"T h e villages and cities then help
to build the lending roads into the mar
ket centers, and these roads develop
the country districts, which In turn
lodge more milk and more regularity
In the village and city udders.
"Y e t there are men that cannot see
that this is a benefit to either. I know
a supervisor that did all he could to de
feat the good roads district system
which was combining tw o cities and
four townships Into a good roads dis
trict, and his township would pay lu
82 cents when one of the cities would
pay in $11.50. and under the system his
township would get back its 82 cents
and one-fourth of the $11.50 to build
roads In his township, yet he couldn't
see that it would be a benefit to his
township. Such a man wouldn't buy
gold dollars If he were offered ’em for
25 cents apiece on account o f the ex
pense.”
