How to Get Good Roads.

EDITOR REGIsTER-The road problem
seems to be quieting down. as the WIND
is drying them up; but II the people
really want to make the start Tor good
roads and TO macadamiZe some OF them,
now is the time, before the May term OF
court, as that is the fiscal term. All
levies are made at that time for the year
First, let us see if we are able to pike
our roads. There are over 3OO miles o1
dirt roads in the county, and IN our as
trict 60 miles, in round numbers. But
il is not necessary nor desirable 10 PIKE
more than half of this amount, ana we
think this can be accomplished IN
reasonable time and without issuing
bonds or going in debt at all. We don
need any other legislation In the matter
the present law fills the bill If the tax
payers will foot 1t. There is the rub.
Everybody wants good roads, but hest
late at Increased taxation. The road
tax in Shepherdstown district last year
was - cents on the 800. Sometimes 1t
is only 10 cents, and that is as low as 1t
was under the old law, when we worked
two days for nothing; about as hlgLl rs
the school district building fund. III IS
at present ltlf SIldllfNl bdA VIC l''S 49,
none is Of more Importance. ii you IN
crease the rate to "a cents, we can
pike 3 miles each year and leave enough
TO dress the other roads, as longas thal
rate is kept up, and each sub-district
entitled to its pro rata share as hereto
fore that rate would bring us about
81. 600 Now. as to the cost per mile,
|. 700 perch of stone will build mile OF
pike - feet wide and 10 inches thick.
This know to be ample, 900 perch IS
more exact. In district No ! they pay
20 cents perperch delivered in district
and 3 they pay p cents-stone are
