Every detail o f con­ struction from the beginning to tb a t b f th e finished road-way, should re ­ ceive the attention th a t i t deserves.

The gravel o f stone beitig heavier, settles down and the mud raises to the top.

A better plan perhaps would be instead of placing material on them in -short stretches here and there as we do now, to pick up the old road bed, Mown Up' and fitt up th e ru ts a n d holes with a grader and roll down again, T reated in this wag tho surface cOuld be kep t in good shape until the old material becomes worn out, and (hen re ­ surface long stretches a t a time wltb good m aterial, either of gravel or broden stone, R ich a planwoiild furnish ft surface equally good a t all times. ' Under our present system of re­ pairs We cannot hope to see much improvement in physical condition or reduction in the cost Of maintain­ ing our roads* I t is confidently believed by the writer, th a t with proper care In the selection of material and attention to some of the minor details hereto­ fore almost entirely neglected in toad Work, hotter and more durable* roads can be bu ilt and maintained a t a less cost than heretofore. G* A, McKay, T h a t the presen t condition of our highways, is unsfttitactory to the majority of our citizens is very evident to tho most casual observer of public sentiment: The opinion has been growing for a number of years, th a t the results obtained for tho amount of money, expended oh our roads afe fa r sho rt of w ha t they should be. There is not, however, so much objection to tho amount of money expended from year to year, as to tho manner of expenditure. The ta x payers oto willing to be taxed for such improve­ ments, h u t a t tho same timo they desire to sco such tax intelligently and economically applied. The reason th a t presen t methods, have continued, i’s due to th e fac t th a t no welidoviaed plans have been worked ou t th a t seem to be satis­ factory* Consequently' agitation is new going on in th is country, such ns never before witnessed, ways and means are being discussed, the best talen t 1 u tho land is thinking and trying to devise some praticat and satisfactory plan for tins linjirove* inent of bur reads* Hew machinery Is being invented and p u t upon th e in a tk e t; nchools and tiijlversiilefi a re preparing to give special courses of instruction in tho thorny and practice of road; or to learn the value of building a hard and durable road . Several of tho eastern state# in 'th is country have been improving tbeirgoads fori Several years p a s t on modern plans and ■principals. By the uso o f modern machinery, and under good; engineering skill, these road# have long ago passed the experimental stage, and, a fte r several years of user a re said to be giving good satis faction, both in wear and cost of maintainance. I t would- scoW then th a t one remedy fo r present conditions, would be to adopt some of, the methods of construction in this country which have been so satis­ factory in other s jettons. The west­ ern portion! of the cbuuty has an abundance o f ‘'material, to build roads* Beaver Creek Township, the largest in area in th e county has graveled almost^every mile of road' within h e r bounds without optside ftid or help. Th is fact will explain why some prejudice or opposition exists to th e fu rthe r improvement' of o«r roads by ft general ta x upon the duplicate of the county, with a slnall percentum levied upon tlip ad jacent property along which' the impraVenfejs to be made. The west­ ern p a r t of the county complains of assistance given fp the construction of roads In. the eastern part, and the eastern p a rt argues, th a t such assist­ ance'is only fair, because the most expensive bridge- - cunsfruoted to which tfiey have contributed all these years is in the Western' half of the county. Ferhaps a fter a ll this m atter has been abou t a s fairly ad ­ justed a s r t f s possible. to do under the circumstances. I t w ill be necessary to get together and fievlse some plan th a t Witt be fair and equitable, as near as possi­ ble- to all the ta x payers of the county.. The mariner, of raising funds heretofore fo r road improve- hipnta hag been to tax* the cost a l­ most entirely upon th e farm lands o f the locality through Which th e toad passed, or In other words tlie. farm er b u ilt the road, and the lumberman or manufacturer of some commodity in the town or city con­ tributes more to theilr V e a r and tegr than th e farm er who paid for, them. A s the 'm anufacturer, the merchant,,and the business men. of the county a ll appear to be benefit- led by the improvements of 'the roads, i t seem# only fd ir th a t all should contribute to fheir con­ struction andmairttainau t e. . State and government aid is being strongly advocated 'w h ich is to be distributed equally to tho several counties of the state, th is ta x i t i# Suppose to raise by taxation o f pub llau tillties and no t as an ex tra tax on tho farmers as many suppose.' Tbe Federal Government is also supposed to have sufficient interest m the improvement of the highways to justify a la rg e r contribution toward . th e ir improvement, large appropriations are mad# each year for harbor mid river improvements which ate beheflcfal to a few wealthy individuals, especially, aud perhaps indirectly a benefit to all, why not get an appropriation from the government to assist in bettering the highways which w illhe a benefit to all the people, a ll the yea r round. The free delivery o f mails through­ out the country make# i t necessary th a t tho roads should be reasonably passable a t a ll seasons, aud %yearly contribution from tho government for tlfis purpose wmild iu ft -“few yeftfs.be looked upon a s a p a r t ol the ordinary du ty of Oongress, and’ would no t bo opposed. The remedy then for present con­ ditions m ust no t come in tho way of increased burdens by taxation on tho farmer, who lifts bo rn ' tlio most of i t iu tho past, b u t must bo so dis­ tributed th a t a ll who a rc benefited shall pay his ju s t and proper por- portion* , To do ib is will require time and patience, and experimental work to determine w ha t is best, tho problem eannot b§ worked ou t in a day* bu t i t will bo Solved. When th is question is better understood by the public in general, and tho sp irit of fairness toward all parties Interested Is practiced in tho distribution of tho funds, opposi­ tion Witt cease.
