Browne, ngricultural economist of the Department of Agriculture, has prepared a report to the government publication "Public Roads," on the growth of milk transportation by motor truck to Chicago. In discussing the average rates from various dairy localities RrotVlie says: "Good roads are a prerequisite to successful motor truck operation. The unfortunate operator who tries to maintain his service over highways which are virtually impassable for a part of the year finds that his dally operating costs far exceed the average normal expenses, and evemualiy he realizes that his profits are seriously affected. Very few operators appreciate the increased expense which results in this way from bad roads. I "As an Instance of the value of hard roads, a large Chicago dairy believed for a time it would have to abandon Its plant. As the section In which the plant was located is a highly productive 11111rv district. the company made every effort to find another means of transportation. About this time the Rand road was completed, furnishing forty-six miles of hard-surfaced road to the ,eity. An installation of two tank trucks and two trailers is now operated dally - -between this Station end ;he Chicago plant, with the resull that the highway has saved closlt",' down of the plant and /the coma-a?; y retains a protitable; place to mat ! -.'t its milk." Tie- rates charged for country hauling are directly proportional jto the diM: ii e and condition of the rdads on the various routes, and Brownie says that dairymen living along unimproved highways pay 'from 25 to 50 per cent more titan those in sections where Improved roads have been completed. The value of an improved road to a community, he points out, can easily be measured In the light of these facts. The rates range from eight cents per hundred pounds for relatively short distances over improved roads y- <- l..~ mIU to twenty-live cents ior u iweivmnre haul. Where the rates seemed, high It was found that the trucks operated over the roads which had not been Improved. For example, milk delivered to the station at Dundee Is transported over gravel and paved roads jfor distances of three to fifteen miles at a rate of from twelve.to eighteen cents per hundred pounds, while twenty-five ni '"s west of Dundee at Herbert the haulage over dirt roads for distances of from three to twelve miles is twenty to twenty-five cents. In 11)24 Browne reports that approximately 44,000 eight-gallon cans of milk were delivered dally to Chicago by twenty-six railroads, which carried 88 per cent of the supply, nnd 141 motor trucks which transported 32 per cent. Milk delivered In any other way was negligible in amount. .... 1 I "1 AAA Illinois uompietea you Miles of Road in 1925 By laying 900 miles of pavement In 1925, Illinois completed more mileage than In any previous year except 1923 and 1924, the division of highways de clared In a statement. "This addltfoiAl" mileage," the statement. said, j "is not only- of great value to traffic In the local communities, but adds much to the value of the mileage al-1 ready existing by making it possible to reach points heretofore Isolated by earth roads. "Perhaps the greatest measure of local relief was given to the west central portion of the state between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, where much heavy grading had been done during previous years, but where pavement could not be completed prior to this year because of the necessity of waiting for heavy fills to* nettle. Every effort will be made to continue cne nignway wors or nunois m am at the same record-breaking rate." ^ No Chance for Change Officials of the Lincoln Highway association have advised the county commissioners of Hancock connty that there Is no possibility of a change In the route in wyanoot, Hancock, and Alien counties, Ohio. The commissioners had ~hrged a more northerly location. Th'e association states that the present route constitutes an almost perfect tangent through the tjiree counties named?the longest between the two coasts. TUeJroute was moved to Its present location some years ago. r t , - ^ -"f t M"' - / ef h fellP , THE POLK COUNTY NE TRVON SUE DIVISIONS BOOMING ~J~?i I I I .
