The Cost of Bad Roads.
Too much cannot be said on the
road question. lhe Enterprise
has bten urging the importance of
having good roads, andthegmt
advantage such are to a business
centre as well as the country at
large. The Atlanta Constitution
has the following timely editorial
which speaks truth aud facts in its
every line.
V t The costliness of bad roads is a
point on which the Constitption
has more than once laid stress.
We have often shown that the un
smproved public highway is about
the most expensive luxury that
any community can possess. This
is so if we merely take into eotisid
eration the wear and tear on stock
and vehicles aud the loss of time
m going to and from market. But
the Mobile Register makes another 1
strikking point for good roads in
calling attention to the ‘loss in¬
flicted bv a bad r ad* in one Alaba
na county.
1 1 An instance of this is furnished
by the county of Perry, of which
the town of Marion is the center.
According to the Register, the pco
of the eastern part of the county,
whose trade is tributary to Marion
13 cut off from that town by the
CGI .u von of the roads
THE ULoUiHA ’ENTEKt tUSK, COVIN (it ON, GA.. FKI 1 MY, ilAiiCll 20 1903
,
Lading thereto Thus they have
een fi.rced to do their trading in
Centreville, in i Bibb county, or
'‘‘Him, in ~ Dallas comity. Loth of
which places *j are farther away but
easier of access
• t 1 he town of Marion has been
deprived „f it, la,««, a ,rd best
trade - and the IoSSnf ,tsmerc4,ants
is considerable, while those com
munities which have paid some
tention to good road building are
benefited in proportion. Yet all
this ts brought about by just six
miles of road. leading to the Ca
tawbi river bridge, being practi¬
cally impassable.
“How many communities in
Georgia and other southern states
have been similarlv affected by bad
roads may never be known. It is
sab* to say the lo-s already sus¬
tained would amount to several
times as much as it would have
cost them to build good roads, but
tliis loss is not always felt in the
diversion of trade, as above noted.
How mativ times during the year
do the merchants in our smaller
towns have cause to complain of
poor tr: de because 'the farmers
cannot get to town?’ Even a niod
crate wet spell puts the average
Georgia road out of condition, and
the nu roll Oil is riepiiv-d of just
that many days of ‘good trade.’
He may reason that he will get it
in the end. but he docs not get it
all. It is a truism that the more
a man stays away from town the
less money he spend. And the
less money therefore, the merchant
takes in during the year, when the
farmers and the farm hand too
are kept at home by bad weather
—or. in otlmr words, bad roads.
“The good roads problem, there¬
fore, is as much a matter of eoncei 11
to the merchants as to the fanner ;
t 1 the towns people as to those in
the country. It is one in which
they should all join eagerlv in
-olving. There is not a communi¬
ty in Georgia, or elsewhere, that
is not paying more fur bad roads
than it would cist to n aintalu
good ones. > )
