The agitation begun some time ago for
the construction of country roads that
will be passable at all seasons of the year
is not to be allowed to die out without
having produced any practical results.
1t is now bearing fruit in some sections
of the country where the need of good
roads has been most severely felt. The
legislature of Texas, which has recently
adjourned, passed an act for the begin
ming Of the work of road construction in
the state which, if it should prove effec.
tual in its working, will doubtless be
given wider scope at subsequent sessions
of the lawmaking assembly until its pro
visions are wide enough to embrace ev-
cry portion of the state and furnish good
roads in all directions.
As yet the law applies only to counties
that contain cities or towns of consider
able Importance, probably because the
imposition of a tax sufficient to meet the
expense of the construction would be
more than the sparse population in other
counties could stand. BY the act passed
the county commissioners of certain
counties are authorized to issue bonds
for road construction. The amount of
these bonds is to be governed by the as
sessed valuation of the property in the
county issuing the paper. No larger
amount may be issued than tax of Is
mills ON the assessed valuation. The
bonds may not be redeemable in less than
10 or run more than 40 years, and they
may not be sold at less than their par
value.
Care is taken in the law to provide
safeguards for the proper expenditure of
the money. Money thus raised may not
be expended for any other purpose than
the construction of roads and bridges.
These must be built under the supervi-
sion of competent engineer and after a
proper survey has been made for them.
They are to be built in a substantial and
permanent way so that they will be pass
able at all seasons Of the year and in such
a way that they viii be easily kept in
proper repair. Should the act be ad-
ministered in the spirit in which it has
been passed, it is PROBABLE that Texas
viii soon be ahead Of most Of the other
western states IN reggrd to good country
roads.-Chicago 7 ord
