face as smooth and as pleasant to ride
over as before. The cost of this should
not be greater than the cost of work
ing an ordinary road, and when you
are doing it you are not putting soil
on the surface to make mud when it
rains and dust when it is dry
The state aid law provides that when
a road is improved it becomes there
after state road and is to be kept in
repair by the county. The expense of
such improvement is divided into three
parts: One part, 10 per cent, is appor-
toned by commissioners among the
owners of the property along the road,
according to the advantage the road is
likely to be to them. In very few COM
munities would farmer be assessed
more than $50, 1 am told unless he
was a very large land owner. A sec
ond part, 33 1-3 per cent, is paid by the
state, and the remainder, SO % per
cent, is paid by the county. This is the
portion of cost that becomes direct
tax upon all taxable property of the
county.
Everything of value costs, and that
which costs least at the first is not
necessarily cheapest The man who
buys a machine too light for the work
it is intended to do because it is cheap
repairs and the loss of time resulting
therefrom soon eat up the amount
saved in the beginning.

NEW JERSEY ROADS.
MANY SPLENDID HIGHWAYS IN THE
GARDEN STATE.

Permanent Roads and What 1t Costs
State Aid Law Provides For High
way Improvement.
In the matter of permanent road i'm
provement New Jersey has taken a
leading part. Having in what is called
the metropolitan regions, the sections
within forty miles Of New York and
Philadelphia, many growing cities and
towns, the conditions were such as to
compel attention and demand a solu-
ton. After much discussion the pres
ent state law was finally enacted and,
with slight changes. has remained on
the statute book for nearly ten years.
In accordance with the provisions of
this law permanent roads have been
constructed and are petitioned for in
MANY counties of the state, says a
writer in the Good Roads Magazine.
But" it will be remarked "do not
such roads get out of repair and are
they not then harder on horse and
wagon and traveller than dirt roads?"
Of course all good things that are used
will show wear, and stone road will
be used far more than it was before it
was improved. People will go out of
their way in order to enjoy the COM
fort of it. This is especially the case
in winter, when parallel roads are COW
cred with mud. Then, too, the strain is
the greatest, for the sharpened calks
of the horses shoes tear up the surface
more than at other times, and ON hills,
especially where heavy loads are
drawn, this will be particularly notice
able. But, after all is said, the road is
far better than any dirt road could pos
sibly be under the same usage If this
heavy wear is allowed to continue sew
eral years, the road will begin to be
somewhat rough, and Of course travel
over it will not be quite so pleasant.
The cost of repair will then seem to
be quite an item. But we do not let Or
binary roads go without repairs; much
less should we withhold care from
them after they are improved. The
law provides that the contractor shall
keep the road in repair one year after
it's completion, and percentage of the
cost is withheld to insure compliance
with this condition. The first winter
will very likely show the weak places,
If any should appear. and the hollows
that form must be filled and the sur
