COST OF UAH ROADS.
The clfice of ro;id inquiry of the
department of agriculture lms com
pleted an interesting investigation
relating to the use ol the common
roads of tho United States, lie
turns have been received from
about 1,200 counties, showing the
average length of haul from farms
to markets of shipping points to be
12 miles; the average weight of a
load for two horses, 2,000 pounds;
and the average coBt per ton per
mile 25 cents, or $2 for the enliie
haul. Estimating the fa'ui pro
ducts at 219,824,227 tons in weight
and making estimates on other ar
ticles carried over the roads, it is
calculated that tho aggregate ex
pense of this transportation in the
United States is $95b4 4, C.G5 per
annum. Reports have been linked
from the United Sutes consuls
abroad of the expense of hauling
where the roads are (iood, so us to
render if possible a calculation
which will show how much of this
arge outlay is due to bud roads.
The estimate is ventured, however,
upon information in tlm office of
road inquiry, counting the loss of
time in reaching markets, the en
forced idleness and the wear and
tear to live toek and hauling ma
chinery caused by poor ronds, that
two-thirls of the cost might lie
saved by an improvement of the
roads.
