Rtraughn, Henry County, Ind iana, Juno lb, loop. | Since the county rohd roller has | been in use on the streets there has been a growing sen timen t th a t the township and corporation should Own a roller in partnersh ip or tha t the township make the purchase and tho corporation hire i t a t a stated prlcfe for each day in use ai is done with the county. L a s t fall a number of the farmers along the Clifton pike no rth oi lown joined together to improvt th a t p a rt of the pike extending to the township line. There was con­ siderable time donated toward the improvement and the cost to the township was sligh t and the bene­ fit* cannot be estimated. In tb k case the county roller was used which only proves the necessity of such a machine in the m aking of good roads. We have our good roads associa­ tions. discussions a t institu te meet­ ings and pages ctf printed m a tte r as to improving good roads. To go further the S tate has appropriated funds to assist coun tiesm th is work and encourage a local levy th a t will yield a good sum for a permanent improvement not a haphazard re­ pair job. W ith all the advice of ex­ perts In road building there Is little a tten tion paid to those who make this their business. ■Stone or gravel is hauled and dumped onto the roads as if th a t was all th a t was necessary. A mud hole is seldom cleaned ou t before filling with new material.1 A load dumped iu one hole only in time makes one on each side and the road is left in the sanie condition. We have enough stone road in th is township to justify the pur­ chase of a ten too roller. I t has been proven by townships th a t own a roller th a t the cost of maintenance of a road is g rea tly reduced where properly rolled. This is to ‘ say nothing of the improved condition over th e old method. I n most cas­ es our roads have sufficient m ate­ ria l if th ey had the proper drainage Home y ea rs ago the Jamestown atttyiad&fviU* gjiye# wa# <$o»*fcru#t- etus pikiih, Tberv is o: then a hole, a ll due t© improper re­ p a ir. The sod ha# grown on the side* un til drainage is imperfect. This road could be placed in a* good condition a* the Xenia and Jamestown macadamized pike with but little expense. The road was well graded and is surfaced with solid crushed stone and the use of a roller would be a ll th a t is necesr sury. The Columbus pike with 8om« new materials and the proper grading is ano ther road th a t needs immediate* repair. The cost of n roller is abou t two thousand dollars. Long time is givenfor payment. The tax payor would never know th a t such had been purchased as fa r as a burden is concerned. In nine cases ou t of ten the same amount of material placed on tho roads a s i t has been under the old method has been little sho rt of wafito of money. The corporation is paying the county fo r the use of a ro lle r when the township trustee* m ight ju s t as well bo receiving th e same and a t tho same time be" able to make greater improvements on our roads.
