' r r- THE AVERAGE COST PER HOUR FOR TEAM AND DRIVER IS 60c; THEREFORE FOR A ONE-MILE HAUL, WHICH IS A 2-MILE ROUND TRIP, THE COST PER TON IS 60c DIVIDED BY 3000 POUNDS AND MULTIPLIED BY 2000 POUNDS, OR 40c. V IF THE ROADS ARE IMPROVED, AT LEAST 5000 POUNDS CAN BE HAULED AND THE COST PER TON WILL BE 60c, DIVIDED BY 5000 AND MULTIPLIED BY 2000 POUNDS, OR 24c THE SAVING WOULD THEN BE 40c MINUS 24c, OR 16 CENTS. THERE ARE 25 SHIPPING POINTS ON THE 150 MILES OF ROAD WHICH IT IS PROPOSED TO IMPROVE AND THEREFORE THE THEORETICAL AVERAGE HAUL IS 150 DIVIDED BY 23, OR 6 MILES. HOWEVER, A LARGE PART OF THE TONNAGE IS GROWN NEAR THE SHIPPING POINTS, AND WE WILL ASSUME, TO BE CONSERVATIVE, THAT THE AVERAGE HAUL IS ONLY 3 MILES. IF ONLY THE TONNAGE FROM ONE MILE ON EACH SIDE OF THE 150 MILES OF ROAD OR 3000 SQUARE MILES IS HAULED OVER THE ROADS AND THE TONNAGE PER ACRE IS 2 TONS, THEN THE TONNAGE WILL BE 300 SQUARE MILES TIMES 640 ACRES PER SQUARE MILE, TIMES 2 TONS PER ACRE, OR 381,000 TONS. V' THE TON-MILE WILL BE 384,000 TONS, TIMES 3 MILES, OR 1,152,000 TON-MILES. ' t- j The saving will therefore be 1,152,000 times 16 cents per ton mile, or IV If SS)VD Ye kv T (riii alvertittmciit) MARION COUNTY MARKET ROADS COM 5 ' 1 i St 8 I .f! . tf If 1 II p p I? it if II if ii n ( r ff is n j . ii j i - "1
