The mechanic and lahOring classes were
very hostile, believing il unjust to tax
them for country roads. They have long
since become the very best friends Of
good roads. They find that they more
than save their tax on wood alone; they
ind furthermore that everything that
enters into the expense Of living Is moro
abundant and cheaper; and l am salts
fed that our improved roads have had
much to DO with making Charlotte a
great manufacturing town. 1t has also
improved the condition Of our farmers,
