Our Prospect correspondent has some
thing to say this week on the road
question, and in the main we agree with
him. We think very little has been
gained by the change from the labor to
the cash system, for the reason that the
cash generally is not judiciously eX-
pended Good roads are possible with
out greatly increased expenditures: but
we cannot have good roads until we
get out of the ruts-and fill up the ruts.
The saying "a stitch i'll time saves
nine is true of work on the roads, A
little work with hoe in early spring
would save many days work later Of
men and horses. We see holes in the
road into which wheels sink to the
hubs. There are plenty of small stones
close at hand with which to fill these
holes, and then with little dirt on top
there would be no more trouble. But
they are left until we'll into the summer,
when the ground is baked hard. Then
dirt is scraped into them and the first
rain leaves them in almost us bad shape
as they were before This is but one
of many illustrations why, with the
usual amount expended each year, the
roads go from bad to worse
