Roads in Fsudsl Times.

The width OF roads. as built under
the feudsl system in France was de-
termined In q curious manner. II
these roads connected two villages on
the same feudal estate they belonged to
the lord. II they passed from one es-
tate to another, or connected distant
cities. they were usually the property
of the greatest nObleman, who was
the liege lord or suzerain, and he was
obliged TO keep them in order and pro-
tect those who travelled on them from
robbers. Their width Was deter
mined as follows: When the road
was laid out q horsenan, carving a
lance placed crosswise on the front OF
his saddle. went first over the route.
Its width and the removal Of trees or
other distractions on either side was
fixed by the length Of the
lance. The roads connecting
two villages were TO be wide
enough to permit &he passage Of cart
with woman wearing 4 mantle and
q white veil on either side of it. A
road from . village into the country
must he wide enough to permit the
passage OF two women abreast carry

vate property must permit the easy
passage of two beasts OF burden. A
crossroad need only be OF sutficie mt
width to allow two dogs to pass each
other. Other roads of local use, such

special injustice in permitting him to
compel those who used them to help
pay for their construction and for
