Interest IN good roads is growing
from year TO year. Last Thursday, at
The invitation OF Cashier Gibbs, Of
the Commercial Bank, several OF the
supervisors took trip TO Alma over
the good road recently constructed in
Arcadia by Highway Commissioner
Ely. They went enc mile west and
one north then two west and straight
north into Alma. On the return they
drove east two miles and south. In
This way they passed over ten miles OF
new road, seven OF which has been
graveled and put in most excellent
condition. While no formal action
was taken by the board OF supervisors
Ia reference to the matter, every
member OF the board who has seen
the work accomplished by Commissi-
oner Ely and investigated IL is con-
WINGED that the adoption Of the town
ship system is long step In advance
over the pathmaster system. That
ten times the work Is ACCOMPLISHED
with no more expense. Under the
township system, everybody pays his
road tax and the work Is done under
the supervision Of the highway COM
missioner, who hires and pays all the
workmen. Such roads as Arcadia has
can be laid out and graded for OIL
ROD and the graveling done from time
TO time az convenient. Two men and
-FOUR horses can go oyer ten miles OF
well built road, with a scraper. In one
day. The work which Mr.. Ely has
done In Arcadia Is a practical object
lesson by which the whole county Is
sure to profit sooner or later, the
sooner the better.
