Good Roads scheme.

The latest scheme for good roads,
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets, for the wheels of vehicles &c
run on. thus greatly increasing the
traction power of horses and the gen.
eral comfort and convenience of driv-
ing and trucking, was suggested by
Gov. Wertz, of New Jersey, in his last
message. He says horse will draw
on such steel track twenty times as
much as on a dirt road and five times
as much as on macadam. The unani'
nifty with which drivers OF all manner
of vehicles in the city streets take tc

idea.
