them that the public roads of a distri,

: to the value of the land Us much, if nc
more, than anything of equal cost. A ba
. road means a small load with great wea
and tear TO wagon and team, and ba

than there is any need of, and make
narrow, poor road when they get througl
: Ii is cheaper TO make a good wide roa
= when the land will permit, than a mario
one, from the fact that in making a wild
one you simply bring the dirt from tn
. bitches upon the road bed, which shoul
never be plowed up or disturbed.
