THE increased interest which is felt
by country res dents at large in the
importance OF good roads Is indicat-
ed by the general discussion on the
subject; but the great difference OF
opinion as TO the best means to

work. A difficulty often exists in not
adapting the proposed system TO the
neighborhoods to which they should
be fitted. A costly and highly finish

region OF country which is not able to
sustain its great expense. The cost
may be out OF all proportion to its
advantages. There are other
