Good Roads Progress

The work of ''good rUads" building in the state is large and important. Last year, though the beginning was late, twenty-two towns completed their new road work and fifteen others got along so far with theirs that it might be called completed. This year it is estimated that more than eighty towns will be en- gagged upon such improvements. They build yearly, on the average, from a half to three-quarters of mile in length.
 The movement in favor of good roads has made striking headway in Connecti- cut, where more than eighty towns are now engaged in the construction of bet ter highways. The importance of this work is enormous. It has elready in- creased real estate valuations in many neighborhoods, and is destined to re- suit in still further benefits to property interests as the undertaking advances. The energy and intelligence with which the work has been pushed forward in Connecticut afford wholesome exam pie for other states in which the same reform is equally needful.-New York Mail and Express.
