COST OF ROADS.
THE REPORT OF BOARD OF SPECIAL
COMMISSIONERS.

Estlmated Cost of Building the Proposed
Improved Roads IN the Various Town
ships-1O4 Miles VIII Cost the Snug Sum
of&aS7.SsO.
The following report, prepared by the
board Of the road commissioners ap-
pointed by the county commissioners to
view and make estimate Of cost Of turn
lpiking certain designated roads In the
county, was filed with the county audi
tor February 18th.
70 the Honorable Board Of County Com
missioners:.
The Board Of Commissioners appointed
| by You beg leave to submit the following
report:
In carrying out our suggestion in re-
gard to looking up roads in other coun-
ties, we have visited Delaware, Union,
Marion and Lucas counties, all having
more or less improved roads.
Union county commenced about thirty
years ago to build limestone roads.
Later years they have found an abun-
dance OF gravel In their county suitable
Tor road purposes, and the most OF their
reads are made Of gravel. They have no
choice In the two materials. Marion
county roads are built almost entirely Of
limestone.
The result Of our observations would
lead us to recommend the following
plans:
We would advise the building of
double track roads made in the following
manner, and have based our estimates on
same:
Roads should be graded "a feet in
width, crowned about A inches, with
side-drains not less than "a inches below
1.-The top Of road bed with suitable outlets
70 take all water from said drains. We
would build the stone or gravel track 1C
feet wide, 12 inches thick in the center,
and 8 inches thick at sides, one side Of
this stone track to be the center line OF
road bed, leaving one-half of road bed
4 for dirt track. This would require 171C
cubic yards Of stone or gravel per mile,
4 The state law requires not less than 1886
cubic yards per mile.
i Our estimates on cost Of 1O4s miles Of
roads amounts to $247,143.2O, being
M average Of 81, ,S67. .S3 per mile.
d making the above estimate we have
/ stlsda amplA sllewsnt9 n sfety part 0
this work and one that will, at the pres
ent prices Of labor and material, give 8
contractor good profit. But to cover any
extras that might occur, we will ado
800 per mile, making 1t $2,467.S3 pei
mile, or 1857, 58O.50 for the 1O4ss miles
Your commissioners would recommend
a change Of location Of the Brownhelm
improvement, and perhaps a change In
Henrietta. These changes would moi
affect the cost.

The Mountain Rule.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The gentleman from
Belvidere, who signed his name Guide
Board, did himself credit and need
not be ashamed or afraid to sign his
real name hereafter. As the so called
mountain rule has been a mysterious
wonder to many of the good people
of Vermont, they would be pleased to
know by whom the rule was esUab-
lished and when, and what range of
mountains the rule refers to, and il
said mountain rule is constitutional
and therefore binding. If anyone
will explain the situation they will do
the people of North Hyde Park a
great favor. We find nothing in the
divine laws, Webster's unabridged, or
any other works with which we are
familiar, that forbids man of lawful
age and native born voting for the
best available men for state officers,
regardless of mountains, rivers, rail-
road corporations or any other COM
binations. COMMON SENSE.

The Rirht Kind of Boy orntor.
Absolutely Pure

The Hon. Albert j. Beverage, who
has just been elected a Senator in
Congress from Indiana, is a fine ex-
ample of the success that is in the
reach of every American who deserves
it by working for it. Mr.. Beveridge,
who is only thirty-five, was born in
Ohio with a wooden spoon in his
mouth. His people moved to Illinois
in the hope OF finding fortune kinder.
At twelve he was pegging away on a
farm. AT fourteen he was working
on a railroad. Working, mind YOU.
and not Sinking and imagining him
self to be a blighted being ruined by
corporations. Graduated from the
railroad, be became a teamster. At
sixteen he was boss of a lumber
camp. Studying in such times and
with such means as he could get, he
fitted himself for the De Paw Uni
versty, where he worked to support
himself. He overdid it little, 10 be
went West aud took up cow punch
ing. Then he went to Indianapolis
and studied law. He picked up
good practice easily, and low he is a
United States Senator at thirty FIVE.
He was a boy orator at college,
and he won cash prizes that he need
ed. But he is not a boy orator now.
He has not remained a permanent
boy orator He has not devoted
himself to wandering about the
country, abusing a great part of the
citizens, windily proclaiming that
there is no chance for poor folks and
making a living by speeches that go
to show that you cannot make liv-
ing on account of the wrongs" and
"oppressions" of the rich. He has
been a good stump speaker, but his
best speech is his life, the resolute
and strenuous labor which conquers
difficulty and i'll fortune. If he had
spent his time in envying and de-
nouncing the prosperous, be would
never have made himself prosperous.
TO the numerous persons who be-
lieve that quotations against the
gold standard and the trusts are a
sufficient substitute for davis work
we commend the history of Albert j
Beveridge.-New York Sun.

whether Mr. Roberts has no wife, one
wife or twenty wives he cannot be
prevented from taking his seat if he
has a regular certificate of election
from the governor of his state, as he
undoubtedly has. The only question
is as to his right to retain his seat
after he has been given it, and that's
for the House to say. I hardly
think, on the whole, that Mr.. Rob
erts will be ousted. He may be in
vestigated, but that is likely to end
it. No report either way is likely.
The weather the past week has
been nasty and dangerous to the
health; rain, fog, mist, occasionally
a thin coating of ice and generally
abominable. 1t has cleared now,
however, and is good May weather
and temperature The trees and
shrubs look fresh and green in the

NOTES..

Last years fire losses in this coun-
try amounted to $119, 900, as
against $110,000,000 in 1897 and
$115.000,000 in 1896.
The statement of last years bust
ness at the New York Custom House,
shows an excess of exports over i'm
ports nearly as great as was the eX.
cess of imports over exports in 1897.

torial in the Courier-J Journal under

the Chicago Tribune there were 1877

Double Taxation,

Mr.. EdltOF:-
We can hardly rest easy and read
the accusations that the gentleman
makes in your last weeks paper, IN
der the above heading.
Now, we are all we'll aware that the
members of the Legislature last fall
were all poor mortals; but in regard
to those hundreds of frivolous"
bills, he says we introduced, | am
sorry he should have failed to have
seen House bills As, CT and Ais, draft
ed by some of the best men we have
in Vermont, and discussed pro ct con
by the wisdom and virtue of the en-
tire state, yet each bill shared the
same fate of like bills in each Legis
lature for the past ten years or more.
Bill AS was drafted by one of the
brightest and best farmers Of La
noble County, a member in 1896,
with the assistance of the best of le-
gal talent, yet it failed to meet the
approval OF the House.
Now, while we are in full sympathy
with Mr.. Morse in regard to double
taxation, so-called, yet we have never
been able to see any just way out
of the dilemma. AS to his bill, that
might be all right in case he kept his
notes. But suppose the notes were
sold to the savings bank, where more
than One.half Of the mortgages in
this state are owned, can the bank
pay the state tax on all these loans
and then pay the taxes on the notes
in each town where the security is?
There seems to be no trouble in
getting g. law to hit some individual
case, but TO get a law that will be i'm
partial is the trouble, for when we
pass law that the mortgage must
pay the taxes on his notes in the
town where the land is located, the
banks, or individuals, will loan any
money in towns where the tax rate is
high, unless the mortgagOr agrees to
pay the taxes, and as money is a
power the moneyed man has the adj
vantage.
We can naturally expect to see
something done about double taxa
ton at the next General Assembly,
for Joint Resolution was passed to
have the Governor appoint two men
to look into the cause and trouble
and report to the next Legislature,
by bill or otherwise, such remedies as
they may deem practical and pursu-
ant to the resolution. Governor
Smith did appoint capable men to be
paid by the state.
AS to Mr.. Morse's other scheme, to
have less number of members in the
House, ] don't think any man who
has been there for one term will deny
that there is at least double the num-
Der Of members there ought to be, to
do good work. We would say 100
members, to be chosen according to
population, no town or city Co have
more than one, and the state dis
tricted so to have all parts equally
represented.
inst think of going into a commit
tee room with Is men to consider a
bill, where each man is at liberty to
express his views at any length he
pleases 1t is impossible to do as
good work as could be done with
five, seven, or even nine men.
We would like to hear from Others
on this subject. H. A. JACKSON.
