An investigator and prominent “good roads enthusiast” bas this to way in “Western Motor Car” about it: “It will doubtless surprise those who are familiar with the road immediately south of the Seattle city limits, to know that during the past five years that portion of the road lying between the city limits and the Renton Junction bridge, a stretch of five miles and seven-tenths, has cost $78,952.64, or, in other words, $13,728.00 per mile, which is equivalent to $2.60 per running foot. And what have the tax-payers got today in return for this enormous expenditure? Well may echo answer “what.” Certainly not a road worthy of ¢he name. . * “Moreover, in quoting $15,728.00 as the cost per mile and $2.60 as the cost per foot, we are stating the facts as they refer to the entire stretch of five miles and seven-tenths. When certain portions of this road are considered indi- vidually the figures are even more startling. “For example, the road between the Meadows and the U. S, macadam road was built in 1906 at a cost of $10,270.00, for 2,800 feet—rather more than half a mile. This works out at $19,377.35 per mile or $3.67 per foot for construction. Add to these figures the sum of $571.37 since spent upon main- tenance and we arrive at a total expenditure of $10,841.37 for 2,800 feet, that is to say $20,433.60 per mile or $3.87 per foot. It should be particularly noted, too, that the cost of grading is not included in this statement. “The figures covering that portion of the road lying be- tween Riverton bridge and Renton Junction bridge, whi not so flagrantly excessive, are typical of the cost of road construction and maintenance in King County, and. conse- quently are worthy of close examination. In length this road is 15,487 feet—not quite three miles. It was built in 1907 at a cost of $36,057.49, or in other words, $12,302.40 per mile, or $2.33 per foot. From 1908 to 1911 inclusive there was expended upon maintenance’ and ‘resurfacing the sum of $7,155.35, that is to say $2,438.36 per milé or $.46 per foot. Thus it will be seet¥ that the total outlay was $43,212.84, which is equivalent to $14,740.76 per mile or $2.79 per foot. “NOW IT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ARGUED THAT THESE EXPENDITURES HAVE BEEN WARRANTED BY THE RESULTS THEY HAVE ACHIEVED. Duri part of the five years the conditions of the road have, course, been entirely satisfactory—BUT IT IS EQUALLY TRUE THAT AT OTHER TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN -ABOMINABLE. “While no data is available showing the exact proportions of satisfactory and unsatisfactory service, it is conservatively estimated that in placing the former at three-fifths and the latter at two-fifths, the road is being given the benefit of the doubt, That is to say it has been torn up for repairs or has for other cause been practically useless during periods that would aggregate at least two years out of the five to which our figures refen “Moreover, what have we today in the way of perma- nent improvement to show for this expenditure of nearly eighty thousand dollars? Nothing but a grade and an old roadbed which constantly demands attention—the skeleton of a highway, so to speak, which as we write is being resur- faced once again and upon which, in the very nature of things, similar expenditures myst become increasingly fre- quent.” Do not forget that you are NOW paying a heavy tax, popularly called “the mud-tax,” and that in order to eliminate this tax we must build “mudless roads.” It is cheaper to pay interest on borrowed funds than to keep’ on forever paying the exorbitant “mud-tax.” Vote for the three million dollar bond issue for good roads.én-November Sth, and reduce your taxes. fThe Association of Western Portland Cement Manufacturers Northwestern Bank Bidg., Portland, Or.
