MILLIONS ARE WASTED.
Expense of Worthless Repairs Waal
fa Almost Every Instance
BiUd Goaa Basil.
Some months ago the people of Sac
ramento county,. Cal- voted to issue
bonds for road construction purposes;
but, owing to a possible defect in the
law, the matter it in the courts for
adjudication. Not long after;" San
Mateo county voted on. the same ques
tion and decisively rejected it. It is
said that this result indicate "that
the people generally are not wiling
to bond their credit for the purpose
of constructing good roads." and that
if improvements ,arte ;$o,'bie rnade in
the highwayiMSO
providing' means for it must be: found.
In an exhaustive address on the sub
ject, Engineer J. 11. Price," of the state
highway commission, recently consid
ered the matter in detail and showed
what could be Accomplished if the
money that is annually spent in worth
less repairs should be devoted . to
building permanent roads. In this re
spect, California may be taken as a
sample of nearly every, state, the same
considerations applying to all. . "'
Mr. Price found that every county
spends from $30,000 to $50,000 in repairs
each year; that for 11 years prior to
1895, the total wa $17,959,717.94. or a
yearly average of $1,623,701; but, as
there are other expenditures not in-.
eluded in these figures, he considers
the annual outlay to be $2,000,000. and
there are no improvements in the roadt
to show for it.
If this outlay is continued for 40
years, the amount expended would
reach $80,000,000, and this sum would
pay for the construction of 1C.00C
miles of good macadam, costing $5,00C.
a mile. There are in the state about
44,000 miles of .roads, and to macadam
ize one-quarter of them, or . , 11,000
- ., ROAD AT RIVERSIDE. CAI
miles,- would satisfy the commercial
needs of the state; hence; within 40
years, not only could this enormous
amount of macadam be laid, , but
enough money be left over to make the
necessary repairs. Hard roads con
structed in this manner would come
slowly, but they would come in time;
and it might prove that when .the
people began to realize what they
gained from . them, .they would find
it worth while 'to issue bonds in order
to hasten the improvements. -. '
The practice of erecting wooden
bridges, culverts and drainways, Mr.
Price finds as wasteful as present
methods of road repair. On the basic
of the expenditures of the last eight
years, the outlay for the next 40 years
would be $2,847,000, and this for . re
pairs alone, and yet with this sum he
says he can "build stone, concrete ox
sewer-pipe drains and steel bridges
where necessary on all the roads ' in
each county named." ,
To illustrate this, "masonry can be
constructed at a cost of from $6 to 18
per cubic yard; concrete for about the
same. Sewer-pipe can be laid in place
forfrom60 jeents to $1.75 per lineal
foot, according to. the bore ol the
pipe. A three-foot culvert with three
foot walls will contaia .63 of a cubic
yard perunning foot; a four-foot cul
vert three feet high, .67 of a cubie
yard; a five-foot culvert, four feet high,'
92 of a cubic yard, without, wings; a
five-foot culvert, with five-foot side,
wall's, 1.15 cubic yards. Then let a
sulvert be 24 feet long, five feet high,
with a span of five feet; it will cost, at
6
per yard, $165.60, containing 27.6 I
a f rrT '
eubic yards of masonry. Ihe same
span placed with lumber cannot be
constructed for less than $100, and fre
quently costs as much as the . stone
structure. The wooden structure lasts
from five to ten years,. while the con
crete or masonry lasts forever."
The erection of permanent struc
tures will, "in the course of time, close
this leak in the road funds of the state.
It is a source ot expense that, in a
period of 20 or 30 years, may be entire
y obliterated if the proper course be
pursued. This would give yon more
money to put stone upon your roads.
We had better start at the foundation
and come up, rather than build from
he top down to the foundation. And
four foundations are not complete
without permanent sub-stuctue8.,,
