SHORT ROAD SERMON.
Would Make Great improvement
Possible Everywhere.

II is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed I'm interviews
and editorials ia the papers that bet
ter roads are very necessary. but that
they are too expensive the commu-
nifty is too poor 10 DO anything. and
there the matter ends.
fhis need rot be SO. There is hardly
a town or county i'm this country in
which the money now annually cXpcnd-
ed is not sufficient 10 procure much bet
ter road surfaces than now exist, while
very slight increase in expenditure
would make great Improvements pos
sible.
First. Road taxes must be paid in
money and not in labor. Good results
have never been obtained by working
out road taxes and il is not i'm the ma
tuTe OF things that they should he.
Whatever is TO be spent on the road
must he available for use in the en-

er must load for" every time he hauIs

Third. The bed must be thoroughly
drained, or a good surface will be inn
possible, and the surface must enable
the water TO flow off readily. Nothing
ruins a road so quickly as water stand
ing on il or soaking into it.
Fourth. The rcaGbcd must be
crowned enough TO shed water and
must bc kept i'm condition by system
of regular repair, and continuous over

Fifth after a good surface is Sc
cured by the above methods. it must
be preserved and maintained by per-
only the use of wide tires on

sey stone roads, so much admired by

owing to the inircquency of rains in
