have been saved to the
bv good roads.
This estimate does not take in
to accouut the convenience aud
comfort ot the farmer, the social
and educational advantages of
good roads, the increase in thu
value of real estate, the advantage
to the farmer of being able to
market his products when the
prices are best, or the advantage
to kirn of being able to raise
crops that he cannot now get to
market becauso the roads are im
pasable" at the time lor selling.
The Hem of storage at two cents
ji; r busltfl upon the 031,000 bush
el- il wheat shipped out of tine
county amounted to $12,620. A
large part of this might be saved
to the farmers by good roads.
Again I thinK it would be con
ceded by all that the increase in
the value of real estate would
amount to enough to convert our
present poor roads into good
gravel ones.
"If, instead of wasting this $41,
45S.56 per year, the county would
pay it into a road lund it would
pay five per cent interest on $414,
585.60 and five pr cent into a
sinking fund, which, if kept in
vested at five per cent interest,
would pay oft the principal in
less than 15 years. This $414,585
would build aboxt SO miles of the
best stone road or from 209 to 500
miles of good gravel road. The
county would have the use of the
roads while paying for them and
in 15 years woula own them and
be out of debt. Th money and
labor now expended upon the
roads would keep the gravel or
stone roads in perfect repair. Is
it not time for agitation of the
road movement?"
