New York's Governor To the Farmers.

We have the best railroads in the
country. Why should we not boast Of
the best roads TO market: | don t know
that | can give you much light on the
matter | have tried To do SO in one or
two messages. | have granted hearings
on bills, and it seemed to me that there
were enough bills in the last legislature
to make good roads throughout the
state.
The more l study the subject the bet
ter | am satisfied that we are raising
enough money for good roads now
From statistics gathered from the coun-
ty clerks | learned that we spend an
nually Zoo 600 days work on the
roads outside of the villages and cities.
Much of the labor appears to be sunk in
the mud. The more | figure on the mat
ter the stronger has become my conclu-
sion that the way to make good roads is
to compel the man who is assessed his
poll tax to work it out honestly.
When you are assessed, pat in "a good,
heavy day work, and let your highway
commissioners and pathmasters work
together. Then You will have good roads
before you know it. Exercise your in
genuity in the work, and year after year
your roads will grow better We have
laws enough on the statute books now,
and there is no reason why this state
should not be first in the matter of good
roads, as it is the first in other things.

The Ideal Pavement.

Since the ideal pavement is not vet
generally found in New York streets,
it may be OF interest TO observe that
they are getting on particularly well in
Munich with one made of artificial
stone. The basic material, says the New
York Tribune, is serpentine, crushed or
ground into meal A fluid the com.
position of which is a secret, is added,
and the mixture is pressed into molds
with hydraulic power, forming bricks
about the size and shape of the granite
blocks used here. These bricks are dark
brown, very hard, but curiously elastic.
The blow of hammer, if strong enough,
will make an impression upon one, but,
though close TO the edge, will not split
or splinter it. Attrition has no more
effect upon this pavement than upon
granite, and when worn smooth il is
never slippery. Ii is scarcely more
noisy than asphalt and yields no dust
Indeed, according to the proud Munich
ers, it is just about perfect.

A Point For Good Roads.

In an article in Paving and Munich.
pal Engineering on the value of good
roads Mr.. Evans Woollen takes the prac-
teal side of. the question. A point which
is made with much force and clearness
in the article referred TO is the effective
force Of the horse as controlled by the
quality of the roads on which hauling is
to be done. Rudolph Herring, whose
conclusions Mr.. Woollen adopts, says
that in Switzerland, the best highwayed
country in the world, one horse serves
30 people. In England, where the roads
are admirable, the ratio is one TO "a; in
France it is one TO ID y, while in the
United States it is only one to four,
and in Mr.. Woollens own state-Indi-
ana-only one TO three. Estimating the
annual cost Of maintaining horse at
800, Mr.. Woollen figures that in Indi-
ana alone the maintenance of good roads
would save that state $50, 900, 600
year in horsefesh.

National HIGHWAYS.

Some of the advocates Of good roads
have expressed the opinion that the ma
tional government should build high
ways connecting the various states.
This would have been practical prop
osition III the early years OF this cen
fury, and in fact, at that time it was
very generally approved, was carried
into politics and to some extent was
put into practice. But the railroad has
put the idea out of date. There is no
occasion now for interstate wagon roads.

roads are local The ideal 20 be at

MASSACHUSETTS HIGHWAYS.
The State Will Improve Existing Roads
Rather Than Build New Ones

The object of the Massachusetts high
way commission is TO improve existing
roads rather than to build new ones.
1t will not change the locations of
roads IL IL can help it, Still there
are some cases where the roads through
villages pass over very heavy grades.
In some of these cases the grades can be
reduced by keeping TO the present lines,
but in Others the only feasible way TO
go about the improvements is Co make
the lines pass around instead of over the
hills, allowing the villages 10 connect
with these new highways by means of
short lateral roads. In Goshen, for eX-
ample, the new road would be 500 feet
shorter than the old, and the grade
would be 1 /, feet instead of from . to
IL in 100
The highway act provides that the
counties shall survey and grade the
roads that are 10 become state high
ways, after which the commission will
construct the surface and keep the roads
in repair for the state. Several towns
have expressed their Willingness TO take
this expense of the hands OF the coun-
", being quite satisfied To pay for the
grading, if the state will do the rest.
The cost of grading, in fact, is not
great.
The highway commission believes
that the people of the state generally
favor fixed appropriation every year
for expenditure upon the contemplated
state roads. In this way work would
be done where it is most needed, and
in the end there would be a continuous
system of good roads in all parts of the
state. The amount that the commission
wants is $500, 900 a year, SO that in 90
years it could build the ?, GOO miles of
road which it deems necessary AT 3, 600
a mile
However, the commission is doing no
hustling for money. 1t prefers to let
the people press the matter with the
Legislature rather than do it itself
There seems to be little doubt that
the highway commission is popular
institution. The essence of its popular
ity was explained by one of the COM
missioners thus: If the towns We're told
TO build their roads III such and such
way and pay for them out of their own
pockets, they would say go to the
deuce. We Will build our roads as we
see fit. - But being told, do such and
such, and the state will foot the bills, "
they reply That's good scheme, and
were with you. boston Herald

able and proper construction OF our
wagons, carriages, carts, etc. wagon
should have wheels with very wide
tires. The two front wheels should be
set under the wagon about 30 inches
apart the hind wheels remaining as
they are now If this is done, the hind
wheels will roll down the outside ridges
left by the front wheels, and both front
and hind wheels will cover the tracks
made by the horses hoofs, and instead
of cutting the road will render it
smooth. The front tires might be even
10 inches wide and the rear IL inches
in width.
There are two things with which we
have TO deal in reference to the condition
of our country highways The one Is bad
roads, which will never come into good
condition as long as we retain the mar
row tires. The other is wide tired
wagons, which will improve our roads
permanently. Which will the people Sc
lect?
What a blessing would it be not only
for our own country, but for the whole
world, if the universal adoption of wide
tires would give Us better roads, reduce
the taxes and diminish the work Of
keeping the highways in good condi-
ton throughout the entire year.
BY the use of vehicles as they are now
constructed the roads are spoiled even
III dry seasons, as the narrow cutting
wheels will grind the surface of the road
TO dust. Wheels with tires 10 and II
inches wide cannot grind the road
therefore not make so much dust, and
the little dust which will be created
will with every rain be pressed upon
the road like a layer of asphalt
Every rain and every load will help
to pack the surface of the highway more
firmly. The farmer will be able 10 draw
his loads at any time Of the year and
not depend half as much on the weather
as he now does.
The meanest roads we have in win
ter, when after spell Of rainy weather
frost sets in. Then our roads are a
veritable torture TO man and beast, all
the natural consequence Of our present
fashionable vehicles. If they only had a
reasonable undercarriage with wheels
wide enough and arranged as a roller in
sections, we would not have TO endure
such awful roads.
Very often in winter we have rainy
weather turning - at once into snow
By the use Of wagons as they now are
snow and mud are mixed in the most
thorough way, and there is no thought
of sleighing under such conditions.
Wide tired wagons will press the snow
down firmly on the road and soon make
good sleighing.
These roller wagons will improve the
roads instead of destroying them. Every
load which is drawn over the road will
work out certain amount of road tax.
The cost of repairing the roads would be
greatly reduced. If we maintain prop
er side grading toward the bitches, so
that the water will easily run into them,
and if we rake the stones once a year
out of the road, the repairing is done. -
Rev. George Buch in Good Roads.
