Roads in Europe.

Two hundred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world, be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking of them Macaulay
says that a route connecting two
great towns which have a large and
fiourishing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost of
the rural population scattered be.

was not until many toll bars had bees
violently pulled down, until the troops
had In many instances been forced to
act against the people, and until much
blood had been shed, that a good sys
tenn was introduced" Every class
now contributes to the maintenance of
the road system in England. The
French have probably the most Ell
Gent laws and regulations in the
world for the building and repairing
OF highways. The minister of public
works has the general superintend-
ence of all roads and ways by land
and by water. There are four classes
of roads recognized by law. namely:
Cd national, (2) departmental, (3)
military, (4) cross roads. National
roads are built and kept up by the ma,
tional treasury. Departmental roads
are charge upon the departments
through which they pass, and part of
the military roads are kept up by the
government and part by the depart
ments through which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes Ia thin.
ly populated regions these communes
receive assistance from the govern.
ment, especially when these roads be-
come of Importance.
The national roads are paved like a
street, having an average width of
521s feet. The departmental roads
are SO feet wide, and the military and
cross roads are OF variable width.
Piles of broken stone are placed at
convenient distances and a man is
constantly employed in repairing each
