Coffee . . Sandwiches businesa transactions, while the sell ing price of tillable farm land increas es more than the total coat of the im- provementa. Discussing theae sub- jects, ths Weekly Newe Letter, pub- lished by the Department of Agricul ture, had the following: “A 15 per cent Increase in the pro portion of the available children at tending schools took place following the construction of good roads in eight counties studied by the Office of Pub lic Roads and Rural Engineering of the Department. The improvement in roads was followed also in several of the counties, the report shows, by con solidation of a number of tbe little one-room schools Into graded schools, which give the pupils better education al advantages; by a development of various industries, and by social Im provements due to easier intercourse. These improvements are related close ly to Increases in land values and de- creases in hauling coats, effects also traced to the construction of improved road*. The studies were made in Spottsylvania, Dinwiddle. Lee and Wise Countiea, Virginia; Franklin County, New York; Dallaa County, Alabama; Lauderdale County. Missis sippi, and Manatee County. Florida. "To determine aa far aa possible the exact dollars and centa effect on a county of the improvement of bad road*, specialists of the office of Pub lic Roads and Rural Engineering of the Department made economic sur- vey* in eight counties In each of the year* from 1910 to 1915, Inclusive. "This study of the Increase In the values of farm land* In the eight coun- tica reveal* the rather intereating fact that following the Improvement of the main market roads the increase in the selling price of tillable farm land* served by the roads has amounted to from one to three times the total coat of the improvements. The increase In value* in those instance* which were recorded ranged from 63 per cent to 10 per cent in Spottsylvania Co.. Va.; from 68 to 194 per cent in Dinwiddie Co., Va.; from 70 to *0 per cent In Lee Co.. Va.; 25 to 100 In Wise Co., Va.; » to 114 In Franklin Co., N. T.; 50 to 100 In Dallaa Co.. Ala.; 25 to 60 In Lauderdale Co.. Mis*., and from 50 to 100 In Manatee Co.. Fla. Tbe estimates of increase were based for the most part upon the territory within a dis- tance of one mile on each side of the roads improved." » These same investigations by the Department of Agriculture disclosed that In the last II years there has been an Increase of more than 250 per cent tn the total outlay for roads and bridges In the United States. Boiled None of the money to be expended owl Sandwiches Portland for good roads under the bonding act will be expended In Multnomah Coun ty although that county pays 40 pet cent of the automobile licenses of th. ■tate and a proportionate share of the regular quarter mill road tax. Regular price $1.00 a year Funds Will Be Economi* cally Expended. In the selection of a Highway Engineer at an annual salary of *3600, the State Highway Commission threw another -bombshell into the camp of those opposing the road bond bill. Opponents of this measure had been predicting that a *5000 or *<000 man would be given this job. The action of the Commissioners in this import ant matter only corroborates the as surance previously given that they will safely and economically expend all fund* entrusted to them, It is entire- ly in keeping with the announced policy of the Commission that it will give a dollar’s worth of value for every dollar expended in all matter* connected with road construction. Mr. Nunn, the Highway Engineer, was se lected because of his efficiency. He has had year* of experience in road building and the records of his work show the most satisfactory results at a low coat to those footing the bill*. Regular price $1.00 a year Regular price 25c a year IS MR. SPENCE CONSISTENT? Four years ago C. E. Spence, Master of the Orange, advocated the Grange bill which proposed the issuance of 6 per cent bond* by counties for con- struction of permanent roads, the bond* to be paid by direct tax levy. Mr. Spence ia now vigorously op posing the road bond bill which pro poses (suing $6,000,000 twenty-five- year 4 per cent bonds for hard surfaced roads. A direct tax is not imposed for the retirement of these bonds. Ample revenue to pay the interest and retire the bonds at maturity la already pro vided by law from the increased auto mobile license* and the existing one fourth mill state road tax which has been a fixed tax against all property In the state for the last four year*. In other word*, the bill to be passed upon by the voters at the June elec tlon will not increase the general taxes of the Individual. If Mr. Spence waa right in 1912 he is wrong now. Friend* of good roads to assist In the campaign for the $6,- 000,000 bond issue can do ao by forwarding subscriptions to Bruce Dennis, Executive Secretary, at Good Roads Headquarters, 310-311 Selling Building. Portland, Oregon. The mem bers of the campaign committee have refused contributions from paving concerns and are relying entirely on from good roads enthusiasts to meet the expenses the vigorous campaign has been free outlined in behalf of the bill. _ ______ road bond and then there is your home paper, The Herald, at $1.50 This makes a total of $3.75, yet we are offering you all four for $1.90, practically 50 per cent be low the regular rate.
