On Paper, Coed.

In letter to the Hickman COURIER,
NJ. Vaughn gives his views upon the
road working question, which views,
10 the main, accord with our ideas up
on this subject. Although there are
some men 10 the county who oppose
working the roads By taxaIi0u, and
who desire to continue the present
method, as being the cheapest, still, We
cannot but believe that il these very
men could once see the great advant
aye Of working the roads by taxation
which they would see as soon as the
law was enforced, thea they would be
among its heartiest supporters. Per-
haps, this law would not affect our
town to the extent it would the remain
der Of the county, as our streets are
now worked by the taxation method
but tie advantage this method would
be to the whole country is so patent to
Us, aud such az act is so much desired
by large majority of the voters Of
this county, that we are satisfied such
las should be among the first thing
looked after by the next representative
from these two counties. Mr. Vaughn
plan for working the county roads
however, is not exactly the best, 10 ouT
opinion, though it is better than the
present method, and is capable OF be-
ing converted without material tronble
into the system that should be adopt
ed. The fact Of the matter is, the ad'
vauced age in which we live demands
forsaking the old method, and adopt
ing something better and cheapef.-
