Savings if Louisiana paved highways in 1925 report

Nicholls W. Bowden of the Louisiana Highway Commission estimates Louisiana car owners would have saved about 12.2 million dollars in 1925 if all state highways were paved. He cites Highway Research Board figures showing far less wear and operating costs on paved roads and argues the public bears the high cost of poor roads through higher vehicle expenses.
