EpITOR BULLETIN Il am an old
resident in this country and | have a
pretty fair recollection of the condi-
ton of the roads and streets during
my residence here. and | must say
that at 10 time have they been, as n
whole, in better condition than at
present.
haven't any idea myself as to
how roads should or should not be
made. l can only tell when the road
is made whether il is good or bad,
and my experience in this leads me
to believe that many of those who
now carp so frequently at our hard
working Road Supervisor wouldn't
do any better if they had the man
agcment of the business themselves.
There arc many things to contend
against and many obstacles in the
way of doing everything that requires
attention, chiefly want of money.
think that you would be doing
greater service if you would point
ont what is being done, as well as
call attention so often to what is left
undone. In the latter case it might
be well to make a personal investiga-
ton and find out the reasons why
the work is not attended to.

A HOMEMADE ICE CHEST.

EDIToR BuLLETIN:-In reading
over an old paper the other day, |
dropped across simple method of
making cheap ice chest. AS ice
chests are almost, if not quite, q
necessity in this climate, | thought
it might be of value to some of your
readers if ! were to describe the
mo0uS Operondi:: Take an ordinary
box, such rs is used for packing
groceries in, and of such n size rs
will conveniently hold the quantity
of ice and household provisions that
you require to keep in it. Cover the
outside and the bottom with layers
of newspapers, tightly nailed on
say to 4 or ! inch in thickness. Out
side of this again nail boards so as
to form Il complete casing for your
chest. When this is done either line
your box with zinc yourself, or get a
tinsmith to do it for you. Then take
a smaller box, large enough to hold
the ice you wish to keep, and have
it lined with zinc also. Suspend it
over the centre of your chest, about
an inch and q half below the rim, by
means of wooden supports nailed to
the sides of the chest. Fix at each
side of your chest small rough graf
ings to hold dishes, &C., leaving an
open space under the small ice box,
and between it and the bottom of the
chest, where you will place the arti-
cles requiring the greatest amount
of cold. Next, have an escape pipe
put in, leading from the bottom of
your ice box through the bottom of
the chest. This will allow the waste
water to run away and permit of
ventilation. The lid of the chest
should fit tightly, and be lined with
zinc, and protected by layer of
paper ms already described.
