We have heard it said, that th,
civilization of people could b.
judged by the roads they keep. L
that be fair criterion, the state o.
civilization in Louisiana must BE- q,
q discount. Under our present mode
Of woodworking, it is almost impos
sible to have the roads in any other
condition than they are now in when
the weather is bad. We have fallen
into the custom and now expect the
roads to take care of themselves,
with very little labor on our part,
and of course the natural conscience
foll0ws-rough roads all the time;
bad roads most of the time, and
very bad roads during continuous
rainy weather. The damage done to
horse flesh, vehicles and harness,
together with the time and temper
lost during one year on account of
bad roads and bridges will put them
in first class order. This to many
rnay seem wild talk mixed with ex.
ageration. Think how much longer
q good buggy or wagon will last
when used continuously on good
roads, than when pulled through
the mud all winter, and then ratified
over the rough roads all SUMNER
And from this same cause our hors.
es and mules do not last and remain |
in good active service near so long. |
And what is the remedyi Devise
some means that will for the first |
time since the world began to have |
our roads put in thorough good Or
der. No half way scrape over but
iix them, and then keep them up.-l
Then when q man starts with load |
it will be his own fault if it fails to |
arrive at it's destination. Drivers
will then have an opportunity to
forget their cuss words, and mules
win pull load with ease where they
now fail.
"What's everybodies business, is
nobodies business" and SO the mat
ter stands. We might particularize,
and show wherein the present sys.
tenn Of road working is 90 defective,
but refrain, as the whole thing is
too plain to thinking minds, to need
any explanation.
