The Road Movement In Rhode Island.

]
This agitation for good roads has now
become national There is no state in
the Union in better condition to meet
this problem and to solve it in a practi-
cal, businesslike manner The cost of
good roads will be smaller in Rhode Is
land than in any other state because our
population is more concentrated, and the
burden of cost will be lighter because
we are almost the wealthiest state in the
Union. In less than two years our old
state debt will be wiped out, and we
shall be comparatively the richest and
most populous state in the country, free
from all membranes. with total val
uation of not less than 800, 900 600. or
about 81, 100 per capita. 1t is fair es-
timation that it will take from 81 800 900
to SO 000,0 900 to put our main roads in
thorough condition.
The benefits arising from good roads
would considerably lessen the burden of
expense. We shall find relief in an in
creased valuation of the land. The com
missioner of industrial statistics has been
inquiring into the number of abandoned
farms in this state. Here are some of
the figures he has collected: In Burrill-
vile he finds that there are 50 abandoned
farms, representing $50, 100; in Coventry,
81 farms. representing SS3. 4s0; in West
Greenwich, So farms, representing $751;
zoo, in Scituate, As farms, representing
$40, 300, and in Gloucester. 80 farms. rep
resenting $4,000.
do not pretend to say that better
roads will turn these abandoned acres
into fertile fields and rich pasturage. but
bad roads are to some extent responsible
for their present condition. and it is fair
to presume that there are number of
them which would be taken up and
worked at profit if easier and cheaper
means of bringing the produce to mar
ket were provided. Many of them would
be quickly taken up as country residences
if they were made easy of approach by
good roads.
Popular as Rhode Island is as a sum-
mer resort, improved highways would |
double the number of visitors that flock I
to her shores | believe the increased /
value of land and reduced cost of trans
portation will make the perceptble in.
crease of the tax very small burden /
In fact, an expenditure for that purpose
may be regarded as judicious and lu-
crative investment rather than burden. 1
The governor pointed out that there
was chance for Rhode Island to achieve
the distinction of being the first state to
have a complete system of well con-
structed main roads. Browns

Cheapuess Over the Macadam.
Mr. Clovis E. Reach of Burrillville. r..
l., at hearing before the joint special
committee appointed to inquire into and
report on the condition of roads in the
state of Rhode Island, explained sys-
TEN of roadmaldng which in many re-
spects is different from any other. He
presented a communication from 81 of
the residents of his town setting forth
that they had witnessed a test of the
road and the result was very satisfac-
tory. The roadway proper is formed o.
gravel or broken stone surface divided
into sections by means of transverse lines
of layer stones. which are flush with the
surface These lines of stone tend to
make the gravel or intermediate mate
rial proof against local disturbance from
the inordinately heavy vehicle wheels
or from the action of rushing water
Each side of the roadbed is flanked by
a gutter filled in with broken stone or
cobblestones, which provides a curblike
structure to prevent the gravel from be-
ing unduly spread by the constant action
of the wheels The roadbed is slightly
curving along the center with a slight
channel along the edges. where at suit
able intervals are constructed blind
drains that allow the wafer to escape in
the adjacent soil. On an incline a series
of oblique or transverse breakers or dams
are made to defect the water aside be-
fore it has attained sufficient volume and
momentum to be injurious
Mr. Reach claimed that his road was su-
perior to the maeadam in many ways. In
relation to the financial side of the ques-
ton, he believed that 81 would go as far
as 50 for other roads. The road built on
the Burrillville highway for test pur-
poses cost So per running rod, feet in
width and from to feet in depth In
some places it would cost less. la tigur-
ing the cost he did not figure the cost of

Railroads Responsible For bad Roads

1t is plain that if there had been no
railroads in our country for the last 80
years the people would have been driven
to give more attention to the wag-
on roads. and by this time the whole
country would have been covered with
a network of well constructed stone and
gravel roads leading in every direction
The railroads have absorbed the atten-
ton and the capital. The multiplying
of all manner Of vehicles has continued.
and millions Of money and tens of thou
sands of people are engaged in construc-
ton, but out of the cities and with the
exception of a few hundred miles of
macadamized roads the vehicles of all
sorts must travel over roads that quickly
ruin them and are not worthy of the civ

For the first time in its history the
Democratic state ticket was beaten at
Standardization Sentinel.
The campaign was poorly managed in
Freeland. For some reason or other
the Democratic paper in the town was
lukewarm in its support of the party
candidates. Probably those who had a
little patronage to bestow ignored it.
1t might just as well be understood now
as at any other time that the Democratic
party in Luzerne cannot make winning
fight without the aid of the press
