There is nothing but truth in the
following, now going the rounds Of
the press, in regard to the prevail
ing misuse Of money for temporary
road making: Year after year those
who pay county taxes go on pour
ing money into a road and bridge
fund which is used for expensive
repairs which the first heavy storm
wipes out of existance. Year after
year they go on employing incom-
petent men whose highest concep-
ton of a road is hardly in advance
of that held by their ancestors a
hundred or two hundred years ago.
Year after year instead of putting
the road and bridge fund directly
into mile or two of road that would
seldom or eyer need any consider
able repairs, or into interest on
bonds that would build many miles
Of these roads. They sink it into
the patchwork makeshifts of mud or
sand, which from time immemorial
have done duty for public highways,
and have practically nothing to show
for it. It is a fact demonstrated in
every county in every State that
builds good roads, that larger loads,
less frequent trips, and easy com
munication at all seasons and in all
weathers, and an increase in the &C
tual value of farm lands, are among
the results of modern road building.
