Each section must determine on the basis of its own financial standing Just what additional sums may be borrowed. There Is nniall doubt that thin borrowing and consequent expen diture on roads will, yield a prof It. (aood roads have been proved to yield a return equal to that of the beat and most conservative In dustrial Investments. About one fifth of the entire state and local bond?d debt if the state has In c utred for road building, but this; lias yielded direct return to shippers of merchandise, the op ening of new areas to cultivation, and the lessening co?t of trans porting crops to market.
