* GOOD ROADS NOTES


The annual report of Highway Com.
missioner Mcdonald, just issued.
brings out some new and important
features OF the work for highway i'm.
provement in Connecticut. There are
now some To-, 900 miles of highways OF
all kinds in the State, of which the
Commissioner implies that about one
half are practically useless, but cannot
be discontinued on account of costly
questions of land damages. The
magnitude of the general work OF
highway Improvement is indicated by
the expenditure, actual or to come, OF
about $500, 600 during the years 1899
and 1900. Although the smaller and
poorer towns are, more commonly
than heretofore, availing themselves
of State aid under the new law, tho
wealthier towns taking it are still in
the majority. Altogether, however,
since the State aid plan was adopted,
1873 towns out of 1853 in the State have
taken the State aid. There is an in.
creased tendency to use the State
funds in grading and gravelling. Only
two towns did so in 1895, and twenty
one towns in 1898.
The Commissioner believes that the
maximum width of State aid road
should not exceed sixteen feet. He
opposes the long trunk roads to be
built by the State, until the local
work of improving roads under the
care of the towns is more advanced.
He points out that, as all the shore
towns but two have taken State aid.
there will ere long be practically n
trunk line along the shore reaching
from the New York to the Rhode ISL
and State lines, distance of 100
miles. He commends the work of
The League of American Wheelmen in
erecting sign-boards at Connecticut
crossroads. The Importance of good
roads in attracting summer residents
from the cities is strongly emphasized.
He urges that the Federal Government
create fund of $50, 900, 900 to be ap-
portioned among the States in aid of
highway improvement.

MARYLAND Improvom cnis.

Figures gathered by the State Geo
logical Survey in Maryland as pre-
iminary to the work of road improve
ment in that State show that of the
Ia, 4S3 miles Of public road in the
State only 1860 miles are improved.
The road laws are not of character
to insure good roads, and, as result,
the roads are badly located, badly
graded, badly drained and badly sur
faced, causing very heavy tax on all
hauling. The average distance each
ton of freight is hauled to OF from
the Maryland farms is ca miles; the
average cost is twenty six cents u mile
per ton, or $1.74 ton for the whole
haul. There are about 5000, 900 acres
of farm land in Maryland. and there
is about one ton of freight hauled an
nually per acre to or from each farm.
The total cost, therefore, of this trans
portation is over $500, 900 year.
The cost of hauling in New Jersey
has been reduced one-half where the
roads are improved. Therefore, by
improving Maryland roads one-haIf OF
this sum could be saved. Making u
liberal allowance for the fact that part
of the hauling is done over toll-roads,
and that some of it goes over unimpor-
tant roads that could not be immedi-
ately improved, it is estimated that at
least So, 900, 900 year could be saved
by improving the main roads in the
State. A similar estimate is reached
by considering the reduction in the
number of draught animals necessary,
and the saving in the wear aud tear on
animals, wagons and harness by goc'
roads. New York Post.
