the roads were as good at this time
in the fall as they are now. 1t is
really remarkable thing the way
they have kept good. We can now
see what it means to have good roads
and are enjoying what we would

of the county we're built in modern
way instead of scatched together in
the same old crude way that they
were made one hundred years ago.
