New Jerseys Road Convention.

Jersey road convention that the dirt road
must go and that it is better to pay a
comparatively light tax for number Of
years for macadamized roads than to
suffer large losses annually on account
Of i'll kept and unserviceable highways.
Statistics which go to prove that dirt
roads consume a great amount of the
public money and yield very unsatisfac-

one New Jersey town where $50, 600 has
been spent on dirt highways in the past

Men from cities, accustomed to good
thoroughfayes and other conyeniences,
may be tempted by the pure air, the free
dom and the pleasures of country life, to
reside for part Of the year at least ''far
from the madding crowds" but if they
find nothing but a cowpash widened,
and flied with roots and mudholes, they
will oftener refuse to take up their resi-
dence than not in community SO care
less of its own comfort and welfare.
Not only does the citizen in ths country
WHO neglects his roads ignore his per-
sonal comfort and shut his eyes to the
possible riches from sale of land and
general improvement, but he wears out
his teams and loses much valuable time
that might be saved.-Exchange.
