A Proposed Plan TO Secure Better
Roads.

Messrs Joshua Husband and Thomas A
Hays have suggested plan for repairing the
county roads, which, if carried into effect,
might in few years result in making our
main thoroughfares fit for use at all seasons
of the year. They propose that the County
Commissioners shall appropriate every year
a specific sum, say $500, in addition to the
ordinary levy for roads, to be used as a turn
pike fund and to be expended under the d.
rection of a commission of experienced and
judicious road members. The amount grant
ed by the county, it is expected, will be sup
plemented by an equal or larger amount,
raised by private subscriptions, and the entire
sum expended in turnpiking the principal
roads of the county; such roads, for instance,
as that from Bel Air to Edgewood; Bel Air
to Churchville; Churchvile TO Aberdeen;
Hopewell to Havre de Grace; Bel Air to the
Hickory; Hickory to Glen Cove; Pylesville
to Dublin; Jarrettsvlle to Bel Air; certain
roads leading to Darlington, sc.
We can see no reason why project of
this character could not be successfully car
ried out to the great advantage of the public,
provided the money obtained is expended in
a judicious and economical manner, Some
other method of breaking the stones for the
proposed turnpikes, less expensive and tie.
dious than by hand would probably have to
be resorted to- In some parts of the country
stone crushers worked by steam are used -
One Of these would probably crush in day
more stone than fifty men could break with
hammers
The county appropriation need not be any
additional burden upon the taxpayers. The
new law requiring license fee to be paid for
the sale of fertilizers in Hartford county,
which will go into effect next August, will
probably bring into the county treasury more
than double the amount asked for by the en-
terprising gentlemen at the head of the move.
ment. This fund is required to be used for
the public roads. Let the whole of it be set
apart for turnpiking the roads mentioned MS
well as Others that also need turnpiking, and
thus, in the course of a comparatively short
time our main roads will be permanently i'm
proved.
1t should not be forgotten, in estimating
the advantages of turnpikrs, that the cost of
keeping them in repair, when they are prop
erly constructed, is less than for maintaining
good earth roads, and thus with an expendi-
ture no greater than the present we might
have better roads Besides, turnpikes have
the superior advantage of always being in
condition for use, which ordinary roads are
not.
Messrs. Husband and Hays will deserve the
thanks of their fellow. citizens, if they can
arouse public sentiment that will sustain
the County Commissioners in any effort they
may make towards giving us good roads all
year round The proposition has not been
formally made to the County Commissioners,
but we are informed that it will be made.
