OF'FW The advantages of improved . public PAi, roads have been *epeatedly proved be- PIrcs~i:e yond all argument. There is no case on record where any community hasi coýv'=r; ever regretted the improvement of its Lu::Ien C, ý., roads. When good roads reduce the pI cost of hauling, adjacent land becomes I more valuable; there is a corresponding tendency of population to increase, and, E ;Tunt C. 3 in its turn, this tendency strengthen the demand for more good roads; oý,i i. conditions improve; and the life of ii:ei community is influenced in many way3. M i re C Of the increa:ed value of farm lan by the improvement of public roads, a grEt 1+ bulletin of the U. S. Department o: e' , Agriculture says: "It is a matter of common cbscrva tion that, when any conmmunity has t passed from a coail ion dom:r.ate by 1L. br ad roads to a condition which is char- . a.r acterized by good road!, land values in ono a that community advance. It is .;ºlin t that no system of goad rcads can di- 3i \d c rc~tc improve the soil f.rtility cr the iach - quality of farms. It is cuaily true .h.'' a' d that good roads can and do d.ir. ty imn- O. 0. s prove the site value, or the value ,which ' , " ar: accrues to a farm by virtue of its sit- th " d uation with respect to markets, schools P. and towns. In dealing with this matte: 7th 'A':: d of increased farm values from a strict- th war. d .ly econemic standpoint, it is worth re- :ii, w:rZ id membering, that where fArms ýve ad- i :aci vanced in value the adva ice is due es- I; thl \ar, sentially to decreased hauling costs. O. Td he advance in farm values in otl'et :a,'jei r 31, words, measures partly the increased ':.csFd r-i to value of the farm as a plant for th- ,cr-cItry zy business of farming. That incrernmnt ..e of value which is due to those things J. C. that are described as social advantages S or improved social conditions has n)1 c Vr ,r he numerical measure. When his road is 0. ip- inprovcd the land owner appreciates god 2 Wai Id. the improvement and frequently st.S , a an increased value upon his lanJ. It is iacl ail g difficult, however, to analyze the enr.- . ai I tire increment of value which follows 7-,. re. Igoad roads. There is no doubt that ,.: her the cost of good roads is met by some . ( our form of taxation, which, in many in-, CtL i'a stances, causes the land owners to add I :,n to the selling price of their land that th ,: amount which they estimate the good< !, ige Iroad has cost them in taxes. This pro- 1t Z :G cess is more distinctly observwd in city . property transfers, w'here direct a. b in sessments for sewers, ,idewalks, an.l .kh i:; by 'pavements are invariably added to tae , the original cost of the property. The im h portant point that is becrm.ing more ted and more understood by land owners is . Las- that good roads require a considerable, the investment of capital, and furthermore Sys- that such an investment-'is a paying re i one. Here are a few instances of ac tual conditions which have been ob- : d V. the served in various parts of the ccnutry. lr. sting "In Lee County, Va., a farmer own,- 4th ed 100 acres between Ben Hur an-I 10 ,tion IJonesville, which he offered to sell for' $I.b00. In 1008 this road was improved, ar.d although the farmer fought the im.- li 1 provement he has since refuse: $3,003 i 't: \" res3 for his farm. Along this same road a t' isMn tract of'1 acres was s.uposed to have '.. is n been sold for' ~S,'JO0. 'th purchases 0h refused the contract, hcwever, and the r owner threatened to sue him. After r ,00; the road .improvement, and without ;D r. any improvements upon the land, the . ; W. same farm was sold to thle original heo. purchaser." t LO; Venire. and 5.0 .
