IMPROVED ROADS.

Ohio provides a twomll tax for i'm
proving its reads, the tax being on lands
within two miles of such roads. And
after all the talk OF years, it is evident
that the only sure way is matchmaking,
with, perhaps, tile draining under them.
Here is an extract showing what has
been done in one county in Ohio. and
may be read with profit
Union county in this State, has more
than 500 miles of road built under the
two-mill assessment law. The roads
are forty feet wide, The central twenty
four OF which are macadamized to the
depth of twelve and fourteen inches
Roads thus built cost from ~, 200 to ST.
800 per mile, exclusive of bridges A mil
lion dollars have thus been spent for
roads in Union county since 1867. The
results have been highly satisfactory.
" Lands that were worth $40 and 500
per acre on mud roads now sell readily at
$50 and $40 and upward per acre, and
many citizens Of older and richer count
les are cominglin and purchasing farms
in this county, their reason being that
they wish TO own lands IN a county !. less
ed with good roads. 1t makes n good
system of drainage for low lands, aud
many farms are largely drained by thing
into these side bitches fences are inn
proved along the line Of these roads, new
