EFFECTINE ROAD WORK.

The experiment at road-making which
Superintendent Warner of the work house
has Just completed in Harmer township
near the Hutton Ferry, is of greater value
than any other way of considering the sub
ject. Essays on road-making in the paper
form have been useful in the early stages
Of the agitation. but we have reached the
point where ESSAYS at road-making in the
form of gravel, stone and dirt are much
more to be desired.
The superintendent's experiment in road
making is of value in two respects, first, as
suggesting a material for macadamizing
that may be much more attainsble than
limestone; and second, as bearing on the use
of convict labor. The local blue stone for
macadam has the advantage of being harder
than the ordinary coarse sandstone. One
or two experiments on a small scale with
this class of stone have resulted satisfac-
torily; but Mr.. Warmers is one of the first
on large scale, and the durability of that
work will be watched with great deal of
interest. If solid macadamized roads can
be made at the cost stated of Mr.. Warmers
work, the problem of good roads, for Allie
gheny county at least, is solved.
The experiment with regard to convict
labor is even more valuable. We find it to
be the case, as The DISPATCH has often
suggested, that the labor of able-bodied con-
victs can be employed on this work with
good results, both to the men and to the
public. The couvicts do effective work and
even enjoy the change from prison walls as
a relief II this plan is enlarged by permit
ting the convicts to earn extra money on
road work, the.e can be little doubt that it
Will be an unalloyed benefit.
Certainly, Mr.. Warmers work is the most
decided effort in favor of road Improvement
that has yet been made.
