About this book
American Rural Highways is a book by T. R. Agg, whose title page gives him as Professor of Highway Engineering, Iowa State College. The book says probably in excess of 90 per cent of the tonnage passing over the rural highways in the United States is carried by motor vehicles. A passage says it becomes imperative to have year-round usable roads in order to transact with reasonable dispatch the regular business of the industries.
The book says inter-city roads of great durability and relatively high cost are necessary for such traffic conditions. A passage on costs says some roads can be graded satisfactorily for $300.00 per mile, while others will cost $700.00, and that $425.00 per mile may be taken as an average for blade or elevating grader work.
