Your comment on good roads in your

There is general complaint in this sec

about the condition of streets and
country roads. The complaint coming
from people causing thrce-fourths of all
the trouble. Money is thrown away TO
put roads and streets in order if no
care is taken to preserve them after
the work Is done. As long as the old
Virginia high wheeled. narroW-tire cart
is used for hauling heavy loads; timber
trucks drays and truckers wagons
With narrow tires. in wet weather and
following in one track not over two
inches wide, bad roads will continue
The remedy is with the men that cause
The trouble. Give the Commissioner
Of streets and County Supervisors the
power TO compel every man that hauls
with carts in city or county to use a
carr with tire from TO 4 inches wide
all four wheeled vehicles, the same
haulinB heavy loads, with forc-axel G
70 inches shorter. So that when mass
ing over the road the wheels would
make track from L. To Is inches wide.
instead of l inches, rs they row do one
following directly after the other
Adopt this system and We would save
100 per cent. in wear and tear of streets
ana county roads. / believe in n lib
cral outlay ana good roads, but am OPP
posed to road improvements at all so
long as the people are not willing to
give up the old-fashioned way of carts
and wagons. So long as they cling to
these let them have old-fashioned
roads. only passable at times in Winter
