Practical Road Building
Th- most expensive roads are those which do not
their • : well. By the n<Mnv tukvii, lh»- most econom-
ical roads are thj'so which best suit local conditions, whether
they cost three thousand dollars a mile or thirty’ thousand. ;
At this time many states, cities an.I counties doubtless con-
sider ivu.-h of th.-ir road work as an economy measure. Tills
is a mistake—almost any other government function should
feel the axe of ietrenchment first. Road construction and
maintenance has been one of the most vital factors in fighting 1
di .md unemployment the past three v. : \»»d—rp.
member this—every road dollar which we spend, so long as
it is spent w isely after due study of conditions, will return
I.. tt.v It will do this by improv-
ing business conditions, encouraging tourist travel d broad .
ening the markets and opportunities for agricultural sections.
