FOR GOOD ROADS.

a bill to provide for good roads in the
State of Virginia has been introduced
in the general assembly by Representa-
tive Thomas, of Roanoke, and the &C ton
to be taken upon it will be awaited with
interest. The bill is the embodiment
OF laws to enact reform in this i'm
portant matter, as prepared by the AS
ISOLATION Of Engineers Of Virginia, and
submitted at recent meeting of that
body in this city.
Already bill has been introduced by
Senator Miller in the senate as a step
in this direction and it is probable that
some definite action will be taken by
the assembly at this session. 1t is in

about better country roads. THE TIMES
