coon ROADS.

Kentucky is said to be as famous for
@ coed roads as West Virginia is for poor
roads. The Staunton Tiadieasor publishes
an interview with Gen. EcHOIs, who has
travelled over that State, showing how the
roads were built and the great advantage
they are to the farmers. We quote from
the TndieatOr, as it can not fail to interest
West Yirginians:
The first man that inaugurated the road
improvement there was that famous OLD
Presbyterian. DIR. Robert ]. Breckenridge.
He commenced by going to see has neigooTs
along a line of road. His plan was to ask
each farmer, ''How much Is your lana
worth?'' When told he would say,
'sWelI how much do you thlnk
a m~acadamized road would IN
crease the value Of it?" Being told $40 or
S15 an acre, he would close by saying,
t'Well. suppose you subscribe to o com
nany we are forming to build q road TO
the amount of, say So an acre OF your
farm" In this way private companies
were formed. The roads cost S2,OOO a
mile, Of which the county court OF each
county, after it was satisfied that the PR
waite company was composed OF responsible
citizens. subscribed on b~ehalfofthe county
TO the stock to the amount OF Sl,OOO a
mile. The roads were built, tollgates put
on them, and the stock paid the county
and the stockholders q dividend. In this
way Kentucky has become gridlroned
with metalled pixies. Now COX
at the result of this; taking
four counties in Kentucky, all rather
small ones, Montgomery has ninety-nine
miles of metalled pike; Clarke, the adJoln-
ing county, has one hundred and fifty
miles; Fayette, which joins that, has two
hundred and fifty miles, and Barbour, the
next county to it, has three hundred miles
nearly eight hundred miles of macadam-
lied road in four small counties. What
has been the result in increasing values!
Remember they are all small counties:
The real estate in Montgomery Is assessed
ut $1,000. 900, Clarke $1,000, OOO, Fayette
81. 600, 900, and Barbour S~S,OOO;OOO. An
increase of value which is the direct result
Of the road building.
