1t appears, according to the registra-
tioa report of Massachusetts,, that nearly

is being generally discussed by the
papers, and the general idea is that the
legislature should take up the subject
and give the people of this state whole
some law in the matter. The road
question is one in which every citizen
should take an active interest, for there
is nothing that figures more prominently
in the settlement and development of a
country than good roads.
