Query: Why isn't this a good time to
90 to work on the roads? The frost is
out, and while some of the bitches have
water in them, good part of the roads
are rs ready for repairs rs they ever will
be- The earth is moist now, and what
is used for the surface of the road,
whether scraped or carted in, will pack
down hard and make better road for
all summer than if it is done six weeks
later Besides, we should get just so
many weeks more of good roads for the
season. And in many places the work
can be done ut less expense than it can
later.
