BERKELEY COUNTY ROADS.
A Strong Plea for Perm nent Inn
provement Facts Presented.

A Strong Plea for Perm nent Inn
provement Facts Presented.
To the Editor ofthe Herald.
Since the formation OF Berkeley
county, in the year 1872, there have
been thousands and thousands of dol
lars expended, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of keeping in repair and making
roads, for the convenience and good
of its citizens.
With the exception of the Tusca
rora grade and the Dry Run macada-
mixed road, can see no material i'm
proyement of the roads of this county
commensurate with the amount of
money annually collected by taxation
from the people of the county, for the
purpose of making and keeping the
roads in repair, and the amount of
money said to be spent by the dis
bursting authorities Of this county for
the purpose of roads. etc
We have the Winchester pike and
the Williamsport pike, running north
and south through the county, con-
structed by joint stock companies.
under charters from the State OF Virgin
ia, having been built some ten or TWEEN
ty years before the formation of this
State. These roads, / am informed,
are paying good dividends to the
stockholders.
Now, as the Tuscarora and Dry
Run roads collect enough annually to
keep them in repair, and as they are
growing to be better roads and more
useful every year, we would ask that
the eastern portion of our county have
some consideration as far as good
roads are concerned.
A good macadamized road to Schop-
perts bridge, on to Smoketown, to
Greensburg and Swan Pond, would
open up the most fertile and one of
the richest sections OF farming lands,
without exception, in Berkeley coun-
ty. Take the amount OF assessable
property in all this eastern section of
our county, and compare the amount
OF taxes collected, and you will be
surprised that we have lain still so
long without asking you to take us
into consideration, for some other
purpose than to pay taxes.
We will be satisfied with as good a
road as the Dry Run road. We will
pay our tax and toll freely to get the
benefit of such blessing through our
section, and will always hold those
who help us in high esteem.
We have good many men out of
work, who are asking for work; it
would be blessing to them to get
work to support their families. Why
not give them chance to work?
The money spent annually by our
county for roads, would build ten
miles of good macadamized road, and
if this is not progressing enough, the
same sum spent in interest on bonds
would provide money enough to
build over one hundred miles of good
macadamized roads.
Excuse me for taking up your val
liable time and space in your useful
paper. ! will, if l find any encour-
agement, ask your assistance at some
future time.
With respect,
