Cost of Dragging Roads in North Dakota and Nebraska
Cost expert C F Chase compares long term road dragging on a half mile Nebraskan stretch at about 0.5 hours per drag, nine to fifteen draggings yearly, averaging $7.50 per mile annually. He cites Arkansas costs and Kansas ranges, estimates ND road maintenance at $460,740 yearly, and discusses legal/organizational hurdles and a Nebraska draft law for county drag districts with a per-mile wage and a mill tax.
