March agreed with the S,aator from Posey,
that labor was first to be protected, aud If there
was to be struggle between capital and labor,
it was the duty Of legislators to discriminate in

MEssRS. EDIToRs-I see b. the Palladium
that there is project on foot TO construct
another Turnpike road through Wayne co .
from East 10 West, making Richmond q
point
Now as tbs is an enterprise OF much i'm
por. ance, It should not be commenced with
out thorough investigation OF all the facts
hearing on the subject is instituted. Among
the most important considerations are the fol
lowing:
First: A road to command the greatest
amount of travel, and hence to be OF the
greatest utility, should not be located too
near other roads running parallel, Tor several
obvious reasons.
Secondly: Special care should be taken to
select route on a locality W here II Will be
possible to procure the right of way.
Thirdly: The practicabIhty Of construction
taking into account the cost OF grade. and
the facility with which the material for con
s,ructing the road can be obtained.
Fourthly: The fertility of the soil and gen
eral wealth of locality through which the
road is located. is another important conside
ration.
With this view of the subject. let any one
take map OF Wayne co, and making Rich
mond starting point, he will be compelled
bv the facts to take the section line West
ward, which runs near the Indiana Central
Railroad until the latter varies South OF that
line, then by crossing the farm of j. KEN,
due Westward, he will come to another
county road running Westwardly and with
the exception of short gap at Noland's fork
the road is continued through the county,
passing through Jacksonsburg, and thence
to New Lisbon, in Henry county, where it
would connect with excellent Turnpike
leading from Dublin to New Castle.
On this route there would be no difficulty
as to right Of way, as there is already a
county road nearly the whole route. Mate
rial is abundant throughout the whole extent
and no location can be found running West
from Richmond, where g grade could be
made with less labor.
If a new road is constructed | hope those
having the matter in charge viii give the
above stubborn facts due consideration before
locating the road 5. 5. B.
