SOME ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

The county authorities have iatet!
made move in the right direction
booking 10 the permanent Improve
ment Of the public roads. havirs
made very substantial beginning
by making some efFectual repairs OF
the road between Brownsville and
the settlement known us Pipkinvilie
about three miles from town, which
constitutes a portion Of the Alice
stage road. After the overflow from
the resacaS last fall, this sir, n oil
road became impossible, and by
ways through adjoining fields had
be resortcd to, and in some instances,
the farmers charged TOLL for the priv
ilege of passing through their
lands. Col. II. NJ. Field, whose ranch
lies partly OH the upper side of this
low portion of the road, with his
usual enterprise, built levee along
this place about Il mile long with a
view of preventing the water from
inundating this part of the road, but
The ievee gave way and all that por-
ton of the road became vast lake.
Now, however, thanks TO our cOun-
ty commissioners, a ditch from two
TO three feet deep has been dug be-
side and parallel with the road for
about half mile, then crossing into
Col. Fields pasture, by his permits
SIGN, The ditch runs another half mile
to a deep dry resaca. the latter half
being from three 10 seven feet. This
drains the water from the road most
effectually. In addition to this, the
road was graded from one 10 three
feet high with earth from this ditch
and adjacent high ground, making Il
level roadway that it is a pleasure to
drive oYer. Hence all Pipkinvile
is happy and promises to vote early
and late for the commissioners to
whom the community is indebted for
this improvement.
We understand the commissioners
intend TO thoroughly repair all the
public roads in the county, and Civ,
grade lines, TO wash water TO ali
dams on the resacas 10 prevent furth-
or overflows. In connection with
this subject, it should be remember
2 that many difficulties confront the
county commissioners when under
taking such improvements, not least
IF which is a somewhat depleted
of the county ira u Y. b.
,ide when the vast stretches OF "a
ic roads in this county appear a
most interminable. To put this i'm
nense amount of public highway
thorough and permanent repa
would cost mint OF money, ana
would be no small undertaking for q
state, while for rather sparsely ST.
led county it is almost gigantic.
The best that can be done under the
will probably be 10
Ittempt repairs only in those places
where absolutely INDISPENSABLE at
