REAL ROAD REFORM.
No Grade Higher Than Four Per Cent to

No Grade Higher Than Four Per Cent to
he Improved In Morris County, n. j.
Morris county, N. j., has begun i'm
proving its roads on an extensive scale.
About 1000 men will be employed for
four months in building a system of 100
miles The plan has been formulated to
correspond in n considerable degree with
the recommendation of tho consulting
engineer, General Roy Stone, as to
what could be made of the roads in the
county, his early counsel emphasizing
the view that n large proportion Of the
roads should not DO macadamized with
out changes being made i'll their loca-
ton.
The chief difficulty with tho existing
roads is i'll their high grades, in many
cases for long distances, and therefore
not to be reduced by cutting and filling
on the present lines. These roads were
laid out without due consideration of
the general topography of the hilly re-
gion, and tho improvements made on
them are found to represent large
waste of labor. With the roads skill
fully laid out in the beginning, instead
of unnecessarily crossing foothills and
climbing the steep hillSideS, tho taxpay-
ers, as they have been led to estimate,
would have been better off by many mil
lions, and they havo resolved to avoid
applying labor to further increase this
disadvantage.
a costly resurfacing of the roads, it
is considered, would be the means of
establishing them permanently, ard tho
committee of the Improvement adopted
a limit of grade above which no road is
to be improved. Their authority on the
negative side is absolute, though they
are not empowered to change the direc-
ton of any road. The desired results
arc expected from simply declining to
apply to public money i'll improving any
roads which are improperly located.
Tho roads to be improved are all to
be kept down to the limit of per
cent grade by the rule adopted for hilly
regions in other counties.
With the ruling grade reduced to 4
per cent the farmers have the prospect
before them of being able to haul loads
Of four tons i'll all parts of the county.
