HOW TO HAVE GOOD ROADS

The following questions and answers
have been handed in by a prominent citizen
of Ohio county:
QlteStion-Why are our unpaved streets
and out of town roads so bad, ana what
measures are necessary TO have them good!
AnSrcr-Our roads are bad, owing to the
unfair and irrational way We use them.
Qucstion-EXplain how and in what re
spect our roads are unfairly used:
Auslrer-We cut our roads into ruts
and holes with narrow tires, and make
no effectual provision for prompt ami CON
slant repair.
We make the wheels of our heavy wagons
with tires of only two inches in breadth
and i'm some cases less. and when the roads
are thoroughly softened by the repeated
rains and thaws Of the winter and spring
seasons. we drive these wagons with the
narrow tires over them. with heavy loads,
equal in many cases TO a ton to each wheel
This usage speedily converts good road
on which a large sum Of money has been
spent. into a very bad one. so that long pc
fore the bad weather season is over a road
SO treated becomes practically impossible
Under these circumstances II makes but
little difference how well a road has been
made, heavy wagon grinding along ON the
narrow tires are bound 90 find the bottom
Nature has not provided any road making
material able 20 stand such wear and tear
through bad winter.
Oucsti0n-What measures are necessary
/ 10 secure good roads.
/ AnSrcr-Onc way TO have good roads is
to give them constant supervision and daily
repairs: every rut and depression, as soon
as made must be levelled up and smoothed
over; men must be kept constantly at this
work: depressions must not be allowed 70
work into holes; ruts must be promptly
filled up; plenty of broken stone or other
good material must be literally provided
and freely used. Where this is faithfully
done we will have good roads. or course
/ this will be expensive. nevertheless, II Will
/ be good economy.
Another way 10 have good roads Is TO
/ have wide tires on all wagons carrying
heavy loads With such tires every wagon
passing over a road will help TO make II
smooth and solid instead of destroying it.
/ The way to do this is 10 legislate the mar
row tires out Of existence by charging them
more tolls. For instance, if wagons with
3-inch tires were to pay present tolls those
with finch should pay less, those with
5-iuch still less and widths of SIX inches or
greater might pass free while all under
| three inches should be required 10 pay much
higher rates. There would be nothing UNI
fair i'm this Wagons ought 70 pay toll IN
proportion To the damage they iniiict upon
a road Under this system il would not be
long until all heavy wagons would have
wide tires. and an era of good roads and
/ freedom from road taxation would certain
IL and naturally follow.
