PLANK ROADS.

We publish letter-addressed to us in consc-
qucncc of conversation lately held with him on
the subject OF ianl<roads-by l.. H. Brown, Esq,
Engineer OF the Rocky Mount Turnpike Compa-
ny. The fact stated by Mr.. Brown, viz that in
making comparisons as TO the cost of Macadamized
and Plank roads the former were estimated at
twenty feet, and the latter at only eight, feet in
breadth, had escaped our attention. 1t certainly
renders the comparison less favorable to the new
species of Improvement 1t must be just as in
convenient to have a single track of plank, as of
stone, and feight feet in width in the one case
has proved TO be sufficient, we do not see why
eight feet would not be enough in the other. AT
any rate, in estimating the relative cost, the diff
ference OF width must enter into the calculation.
We invite attention to Mr.. Browns letter.
