GOVERNOR FLOTER on GOOD ROADS.

GOVERNOR FLOTER on GOOD ROADS,
The movement looking to the radical i'm
proyement of the roads of this State has been
given healthy impetus by the observations
on the subject which Governor Flower adj
dressed 10 the Legislature in his annual mes
sage The Governor submits table OF Stats
tics showing by counties the annual cost Of
highway maintenance in New-York This
table is powerful argument in favor of road
reform. since it demonstrates that the average
cost of highway maintenance for each county
is about $4,000. In view of these figures
sensible farmers and all others who are di-
rectly interested in roads may well ask them
selves, Aie we getting the worth Of our money !?
Is not this S54 600 per county practically spent
without cur receiving anything approxmating
10 an adequate return? Ii appears from the
Governors table that Ulster County last year
expended $3.50 days labor and SCI ,12G in
cash on her roads Nevertheless, 1.-The Kings
ton Freeman is moved to remark q: We defy
any one to drive through the length and breadth
of the county and discover One-tenth of this
outlay The time and money have been worse
than wasted and the roads were never worse

exceptional case. Probably her roads are AZ
good as the large majority of the roads of the
State. That is to say, they are fair to middling
in the summer, but a terror during good
part OF the rest OF the year. And why? Be-
cause the system under which they were built
and are repaired is about as bad as it could
well be- The man who has a road tax assessed
against him and proceeds to work it out com
monty knows 10 more about real road repair
ing than he does about the nature of the
mineral deposits in the mountains of the moon.
And the same remark may be applied to nine
tenths of all those who are commonly employed
in this sort of work. Now, what makes this
unsatisfactory state of things still worse is the
fact that, as the Governor points out the coun-
ties could obtain good, substantial roads for
what they are now paying for mudholes. "Thc
