MILLIONS GOING INTO ROAOS
Western States to Spend Much Money
in Highway Construction and
Needed Maintenance.
Millions of dollars will be expended
in highway construction and bridge
work and maintenance by the states
of the central West during the pres
ent year, according to data recently
compiled by highway authorities.
Colorado has 51 miles of highways
under construction at a cost of $300,
000; 01 miles ready for contract to

bridges contemplated, to cost $350,000.
The Photograph Shows a Portion of
the Pikes Peak Ocean-to-Ocean

Maintenance on 4,000 miles will

amount to about $2,200,000.
Idaho has 87 miles, costing $720,000,

SAVING OF IMPROVED ROADS
Report of Congressional Committee
Shows 8 Cents Per Ton Per Mile
Can Be Saved.
The report of the Joint congressional
committee which investigated high
way economics in 1914 shows that a
saving of 8 cents per ton mile can be
effected in transportation costs when
a road is lifted from the dirt to the
durable class. This does not take in
to account increased real estate valua
tion or social advantages resulting
from the Improvement.
Build Roads Now.
If roads are a good thing, why not
build them immediately, instead of
waiting and suffering inconveniences
for years to come, because It should
be remembered that we are not sav
ing any money by acting in such a
manner.
Big Change in Sentiment.
Feople are apparently ready and
willing to spend huge sums for roads
where a few years ago it would have
been impossible to secure even a small
appropriation for this purpose.
