THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GOOD ROADS CUT H. C. OF L. SURVEY IN STATE SHOWS Figures Show $8,000,000 Worth of Highways Built -j in Indiana, Eight million dollars worth of good roads have been completed in Indiana under the Federal aid plan since its Inauguration In 1916. according to figures Just compiled. Four million dollars was the Government's share of the cost. Os the 260 miles that have been built in the States under this plan, eightythree miles were completed up to the end of the last fiacal year at a cost of $2,429,554. of which the Federal Government contributed about half. Practically all this money went into the construction of concrete roads. Good have reduced hauling expenses 50 per cent, according to the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. The expense of hauling crops from farm to shipping points Is one of the most expensive steps in the marketing system. Under average conditions expense of hauling milk is 4.5 per cent of Its value and of potatoes 15 per cent and hogs 2 per cent of their value. Roatta Out H. 0. L. Good roads are making hauling possible the year around In Indiana regardless of weather conditions and reduces marketing expenses through larger loads carried at greater speed. Fr every urban family in the State. 3.736 pounds of dairy products, vegetables, fruit, grain and meat products are hauled over country’ roads. Ten cents outs of every dollar’s worth of farm -products hauled over the roads goes to meet the expenses of local and long distant transportation service. The average haul from farm to shipping point is eight miles and nine hours is consumed to a load averaging 2.500 pounds. There are fifty-three automobiles for each one hundred farms in the State. Investlpatlons show that 70 per cent of the farmers buy their autos ae a necessary equipment. Elaborate Program The extent to which the automobiles will tie country and city together will be all the more understood when it Is realised that when the Federal and State road system Is complete It will be possible to travel from any point In the United Statea to almost any hamlet, however remote, without leavir t cn improved road for more tha.i a few miles at most. In the eight years that the Federal aid plan has been In effect 35,000 miles of road has been completed throughout the United States at a total coet of 9600,000,000. of which the Government has paid no such emergency exists is in our opinion wholly unjustifiable.”
