GOOD ROADS ARE ECONOMICAL.

While several States in the Union,
and especially neighbor Massachusetts,
are enthusiastically pushing the good
roads movement there appears to be a
desire on the part of some in Connecti-
cut to put obstacles in the way of the
slow and economical progress of the
good roads movement here. 1t Is to be
hoped that this desire will fail. 1t has
taken many years of talk and effort by
an interest in good roads. Such an in
terest exists now. There is also in ex-
faithful and Woodworking highway
commissions that any State is or could
be blessed with. 1t has done great
work since it was formed. 1t will be
more and more useful as time goes on
if it is allowed to continue at work. 1t
should be allowed to so continue. 1t is
not too large. We would like to have
those who think one commissioner
could carry on the work of the commits
sion all over the State explain in detail
how he could do it. He would have to
be at least three times as active as the
present head Of the commission, and no
man like that could be found And if
he could be he would be well worth
what the present commission costs.
We do not see much substance in the
talk about the application of economy
to the good roads movement There
has been and is altogether too much
economy in good road-making in Con-
necticut Good roads, are economical,
and the sooner they are in existence all
over the State the better. There is no
economy in crippling a movement that
will give us good roads. 1t should be
heartily encouraged, and if the money
that is needed for it is as we'll spent as
that which has been already laid out
there will be no Just cause of COM
plant.

COSTLY MDTH-CR4SING.

Massachusetts isn't a State which is
naturally much given to butterfly
chasing, but it has been chasing the
gypsy moth continuously and persist
entity for several years. The State
Board of Agriculture has lust called
the attention of the people to the cost
Of moth chasing. During the last four
years the State has appropriated $780,
000, and the committee says that $780,
900 year will probably not be enough
to prevent the spread of the moth. The
entomologist Of the board, c. H. Fer
nald, says that three courses are open !:
To continue the policy Of extermina-
ton, which will require large appro-
priations for term of years; to simply
try to hold the moth in check, which
will require a perpetual annual appro-
priation, or to abandon the task en-
tirely, leaving it for cities, individuals,
and towns to deal with the pest. To
e&terminate will require 100000 a year
for at least five years, then s1OO, 600 a
year for five years more, and then SIS
900 year for five years more, or ST.
SIS, 900 for the fifteen years, or an av-
erage of $1O5,O0O year. The second
course would require an annual appro-
priation of 100000, in the professors
opinion, perpetually. But if it were
only S5o,0OO the total at the end of
forty years would be more than the
cost of the policy of determination.
AS the gypsy moth, if left to itself,
would spread all over the United
States and cause immense destruction
of property, Massachusetts can well
claim to be altruistic as well as self
protecting in it's chase Of the moth. II
might, perhaps, with some propriety
ask help from other States for the an
Inhalation of pest which threatens all
the States.
