Wyoming Auto Investment Calls For Radical Road Improvement
It is estimated that Wyoming will have 25 000 automobiles in 1920. At least 1 000 dollars per vehicle brings the investment to 25 million. Depreciation from bad roads, at 10 per cent, implies a loss of 2.5 million annually to automobile owners. Over ten years the outlay would be lost, demanding urgent road improvements.
