COUNTY ROAD WORKERS.

During the past winter and early
spring months while the people of the
country were suffering from bad roads,
q great deal of dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed, and in not few cases resolves
were made for future Improvements.
So far as known proportion Of this
nature has usually met with sufficient
opposition to defeat or at least to defer
it. And now spring weather has
improved their wretched winter con-
dition. aud spring work is engrossing
the attention of farmers, there is dan
ger that the re ad improvement will be
lost sight of until the return of the
usual annual season of impossible roads.
We are compelled to admit that our
common roads are, on the whole, the
worst to be found in any country with
the same opportunities. The most
feasible way will be to begin az one or
more of the most important points,
towards which the travel of the country
is directed, and from these points i'm
prove greatly in permanent manner,
and the most important of the roads lead
ing from them in such a way as to prac
tically illustrate the advantages of good
roads and gradually bring the people
up to the point of general extension
of such improvements. While in many
cases a more extended system that
would improve more roads and finish
them up at once. even if leaving a large
Indebtedness to be paid off yearly after
wards, might really be most advanta-
geous in the end. The objections made
to road improvements by men living
off the road are comonly without any
good foundation. From necessity of
the case every road in the county can
not be madcadamized. When the de-
termination to abandon the present
shiftless methods of road making
becomes fixed i'll a county, with the will
to incur the necessary expense. good
roads may be had. Yours Truly.
