Improved Roads an Asset to Property Owners

- Improved roads as an asset to property owners is disclosed in a report just released by oifiiiali of the Monolith Portland Cement Company on the cost of operating automobiles on the various-classes of streets and iighwiys.

If lhe average property owner were required to pay an assessment of from $100 to $200 on each parcel of ieal estate he possesses every year for paving, he would object strenuously, the report states, although the cost of operat- ing their own cars over poor or fair roads is from $100 to $zqq.a year more than over paved highways.

"The average saving in operating all classes of automobiles on paved highways is 2.06 cents a mile," according to the cement company's report based on figures obtained by a midwest engineering college. "The cost of operating a light six cylinder car over poor roads is 8.62 cents a mile; over intermediate road, 7.38 cents; paved highways, 6.25 cents. Foi four cylinder cars the operating cost is 7.5 cents, 6.42 and 5.44 cents, respectively."

Thus the motorists who ride on low type roads are pay- ing an average of $10.30 a month more to operate their cars if they drive 500 miles, than they would if driving on paved roads, the report adds.
