Is it not enough, as it seems, gentle
men, to satisfy your greed for destruction
that you have crippled or destroyed every
industry of our people which you could
reach through your miserable tariff bill,
but you now propose to swoop down like

You do more than this. You determine

He was the first Chief of the company, and
was at all times an active fireman, and a
ready worker, and was indentifled with the
early fire companies OF the town. He was

The regular June meeting of the Cecil

their roads, it would be long time before
they would be constructed.
Mr.. Duyckinck said there was one point
suggested in the report it would lie difficult
to meet, viz: the requirement of the use of
wide tires. He did not think the purchase of
the right of way by trolley lines would be Il
great obstacle, as the cost of construction of
trollcys was only about one-tenth of that in
steam roads, and that trolley roads We're
dangerous to public travel horses not be-
coming accustomed to them. He agreed
with Col. Bond that they were Objectionable
on the ground of being dangerous to others
using the roads.
Mr.. Waters thought it would be a bad day
for the farmer when the public roads could
he taken for trolley road uses. He approved
the ider of accommodating "A sinking fund for
permanent road improvement as recon-
mcnded in the report.
Mr.. Clifford thought the true idea was to
permanently improve the public roads. not to
waste money in hauling dirt on, and then
taking it off. He did not countenance the
use of public roads for trolley use.
Mr.. Joseph Coudon did not entertain the
idea that the public roads could he
used by trolley lines. He spoke of the
assumption of rights along the roads by
telegraph companies and railroads, to the
detriment and annoyance of farmers.

Questions being in order, Mr., Clifford asked
whether any member of the club had any
experience with giant clover No one re-.
ported any experience with it.
Mr. Gillespie asked whether it was now too
late to SOW lawn grass seed?
Mr. Wilson thought that on account of the

hcretojor" appointed to prepare plans, and
max" suggestions for the permanent improve
ment of the public roads of the county:
EGronr:
We, the committee appointed at a meeting
of the Farmers Club Il. \, J. lIrhiuer'-
April 18th, 1895, to make suggestions for the
permanent Improvement Of roads. would beg
leave TO make III" following suggestions:
As electricity seems to be the coming
motive power, and trolley roads are multiply
ing very rapidly, the day is not far distant
when portion Of our roads will be used for
trolley lines between large towns and perhaps
villages in our county. We would not recon-
mend large expenditures of money in build
ing macadam roads at this time in our
county, being situated as we are between the
great cities of the country.
But when the road bed is composed of soft
spongy clay, we would suggest that crushed
| stone be used in making the driveway. to be
| put ON not less than ten inches deep in the
center of the road and fourteen feet wide
And we believe certain money should be set
apart each year by our County Commissioners
| for the purpose of piking such roads. There
have been several pieces of road in the Sixth
District covered with crushed or broken stone
within the last few years, although it has
been done in Il haphazard way and at differ
ent times. We find it has beeen great benefit
| to the public convenience particular in draw
| ing heavy loads.
| We would furthermore suggest that road
leagues be formed in the several districts OF
the county to take the matter in charge, and
urge upon the County Commissioners to set
apart certain amount of money each year
to be expended in the several districts of the
county for the purpose of draining and piking
said roads.
We would also suggest that portable stone
crushers be used instead Of hammers, as
stone broken by hand is very expensive, and
! by using stone OF good quality for the purpose
we believe with proper drainage the roads so
| treated would need but little repairs for some
years to come, and furthermore we would get
rid of the annual application of additional
clay being put on to work up into dust in
dry weather and mud in wet seasons.
We would also recommend the use of wide
| tire wagons in transporting heavy loads of
merchandise from one point to another in
our county, and the width of tire to be
increased in proportion to the load to be
carried, and we believe that the construction
of stone roads will cost one-third less, if wide
tire wagons were in general use. lnasmuch
as our Commissioners have not the authority
to order the use of wide tire as is done by
municipal authorities in cities, we believe
them not justihable in so doing. But as an
inducement we think that the taxes should
be abated on persons using wide tire wagons.
ALFRED KIRK,
A. j. MICHISER,
JNo. p. WILSON.
Comment on the report being in order, Col.
Bond said he only took issue with the report
in the suggestion of the use of the public
roads by corporations constructing trolley
roads. These roads, he thought, should be
constructed exclusively at tler own cost. He
objected to them as dangerous to public
travel.
