Practical Road Building.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ have started to build roads in this
township after giving the matter some
study. tried the double-road sy stem. j. e.
to hnild gravel or macadamized and leave
summer road alongside of it. 1 found
after travel left the nacadamlzed road
that 1t went to ruin faster than If travelled
and the dirt, or summer. road. used cut
gutter 40 near alongside of the gravel or
macadamized road that the two roads cost
more to keep i'll repair than if they ran
separate and were repairedI separately. l
then visited representatives of several pike
companies in this State and Kentucky. l
found that o majority of pike-bullders be-
heve the only true and cheap system, one
which would encourage every farmer and
lover of good roads TO give his helping
hand, and be an inducement for him TO do
SO, is to abolish the supervisor system,
place the roads in the hands of the town
ship trustee. let the township trustees of
each county form a county board of road
commissioners, with power to levy o road
and bridge tax for county purposes each
trustee TO levy township road tax: all
road tax to lie paid in cash with the first
instsllment of tax paid. The township
trustee should let contracts for macsdarn-
lied rock or gravel by the yard TO induce
farmers To keep O supply of rock on
hand 10 be used when needed, so that
the trustee can 60 and order them hauled
and spread ut the proper time and place. l
have tried this sy stem. and 1t works sue
cessfully. l first graded my road-bed and
gave 1t plenty of drainage. The latter is
the most important. The farmers who
took contracts cracked the rock at S1.25 per
yard. delivered, spread and banked on
each side. had the rock spread six inches
thick and seven feet wide. and IL holds ont
well, can be kept in repair with less money
than dirt road, and is a good road the
year round. The farmers have caught the
idea and approve 1t, and have now, along
this strip of road, keep q supply of broken
rock on hand. and q cnuck-hole, before it
has q chance. is closed mp. and not left to
get so large that mule has to swim
through. The farmer or laborer who has
sagaclty works out his TAX by this method,
while tho taIdy ones must pay for il.
Working ont tax is the worst tax-robber
system ever invented. and should be abol-
ished with the supervisor. The road tax is
the highest tax In the State for any one
purpose. Two-thirds of those shat work
out their road tax get out of it the easiest
and quickest way they can. Let trustees
take charge of all roads, with power to
summon by notice and superin tend In per-
son, or through some competent man; let
contracting be the main point; the roads
Will improve in n short time. and with the
same tax that we pay now.

SLOW MOVEMENT OF CARS
Number Handled Last Week Was 4,039
Less Than for the Same Week in 1892.
Roads Blocked with Snow and on Two Days but
Few Freight Trains We're Sent Out-Live-
Stock Business Light. but Coal Heavy.

Not since 1887, the week of the great
strike has there been lighter loaded car
movement than that of the week ending
Jan. II, il being $50 cars below the week
ending Jan. and 4,039 below that of the
corresponding week 1892 and 3.294 below
1891. Every line shows more or less of a de-
crease. Few empty cars were handled by
any line except the coal roads The bad
weather and heavy SHOWS during the week
forced the roads to reduce the number OF
cara to train, and on two days but few
freight trains were run. The oldest freight
men say they do not remember euch deten-
tion of business as was experienced last
week on account of weather conditions.
Meantime the good country roads. which
are now solid and easy to get over. admit
of farmers getting their grain. logs, lum-
Der, baled hay, ETC.. 90 the stations,

Southern points are large, the high prices

movement of live stock, poultry and prod
ace eastward is light West-bound busi-
aess is accumletIng in all the yards; so
difficult is it to move freighte that 1t takes
six to ten DAYS to get freight from New
York to Indianapolis. The wholesale boot
and shoe and ry-goods houses have begun
TO receive their spring goods and under
favorable conditions the west-bonnd
freight movement would be heavier than
nsual In early January. Business with the
roads running north has suffered more
than with the east-and-west lines by drift

rrn lines no freight trains were
run on Wednesday and Thursday,
