Road Mnklng In New York.

Automobiles, bicyclists and road
drivers generally will take much sat
isfacCion in the recent statement Of
State Engineer Bond concerning the
progress made and proposed in the
way Of improving the condition Of the
States highways. Since the passage
Of the Higbie-Armstrong law in 1898,
this STATE has appropriated $25OOGG
for The purpose of building new roads.
Twelve counties have seen the con
struction OF twenty-three new high
ways, aggregating in length ffty-threo
and One-half miles, and over a hundred
petitions have been received from
twenty-seven counties asking that
about eight hundred miles of new
roads be built within their borders. In
response to these petitions surveys and
estimates have been or will be made.
From twenty-three counties, also, has
come a request for eighty roads of
total length Of sOG miles, the estimated
coSt OF which is S7G25 per mile.
Mr.. Bond asserts that in every in
HlIlLt' AlIt tuOAAo vi lllC t'lAND w NV
vide irst-class roads have given un'
qualified satisfaction to those who
have shared the expense Of their con.
suuction. Proof of this is found in
the fact that wherever the work has
been prosecuted the people are en-
thusastic Cor its extension. In order
that the movement for better high.
ways may go on uninterrupted and be
made to appeal to the residents Of all
sections Of the State Mr. Bond intends
where new macadam roads are not de.
sired, so to treat the old roads that
the Improvement will speak for itself.
New York, therefore, appears to be
thoroughly in line with other States Of
the Union in the endeayor to make the
quality Of It's highways adequate to
the requirements Of commerce. and II
Is probable that the first few years Of
the new century will witness some

The road commissioner has had plenty

The question Of a new bridge is one OF
moment for Madison and Arson Citi-
zens generally are in favor OF free bridge
and hope the town will build one. The
charter of the company owning the old
bridge has twenty or more years to run
and can rebuild if they SO elect. A stock
holders meeting is called for Saturday,
January 4. to act upon e matter. In
bridge was paying property when stand
ing and the stock was valuable, but
whether with the bridge swept away it has
any value is question. Some stock
holders are quoted as saving they ought
to have something for their stock or their
franchise. Madison will be strongly in
favor of a free bridge but Arson with her
railroad debt would find the extra ex-
pense of building bridge something OF a
hardship. The result of the meeting OF
the stockholders will be awaited with
much interest

At the beginning of the thirteenth
century 1t occurred to some one to
preserve the likeness of his departed
friend as well as the symbols of his
rank and station. SO effigies were in
troduced upon the surface of the slabs
and were carved fiat, but ere fifty
years had passed away the art of the
sculptor produced magnificent monu-
mental effigies. Knights and mobiles
lie clad In armor with their ladies' by
their sides, bishops and abbots bless
the spectators with their uplifted right
hands, judges lie in their official garb
and merchants with the emblems of
their trade At their feet lie animals,
usually having some heraldic connec-
ton with the deceased or symbolical
of his work--e. g., dragon Is trod
den down beneath the feet of a bishop,
signifying the defeat of sin as the re-
suit of his ministry. The heads Of
efflgies usually rest on cushions, which
are sometimes supported by two an
