Parkersburg Sentinel: Thesubject
of better roads is one that is more
disturbing than Banquo's ghost.
This country has the worst roads in
the world, and more of them, but
the efficacy of any of the remedies
suggested is very questionable. In
the first place there are too many
public roads, and it exhausts the
road revenue to keep in u mere
passable condition the net work of
alleged public roads, the majority
of which are more private than pub
lie in their benefits, and which are
little else than accommodation lanes.
1t has been found by tried expert
ments in some places that the best
road system is thorough macada-
MIXING of the principal highways of
travel, leaving the lesser important
to the care of those for whose inn
mediate benefit they have been
created. If Il half dozen of the more
important roads through the county
were cut down to an easy grade
and then thoroughly macadamized
with broken limestone or gravel,
the question of good roads would be
solved. And if necessary county
bonds might be voted for the pur-
pose.
