FIX UP BAD PLACES.
Randall Correspondent Thinks He Has
Hit ON Scheme for fixing Roads.


Hit on Scheme for fixing Roads.
To the Editor OF the New DOMINION.
Will you allow me to express my
opinion on how to have good roadsf
l suppose but few OF our citizens
know that in Ohio county West Va,
they have had all their principal
roads macadamized for more than
twenty years. And this is the way
they went about it. The county
court had measurement made of
all places that were very bad in
winter in each OF the main roads.
They sold cut to the lowest bidder
the contract to nacadamize these
places and of course borrowed
money to meet the cost. The next
year they did the same as to the
next worst places and continued on
until the roads were all made good.
By beginning 10 this, way this
summer, next winter people could
travel on all the main roads without
| much inconvenience.
DuitnS tle pdsJ WlHtel people
could not get to Morgantown by
way of Jimtown and Granville and
had either TO leave their horses at
Jimtown and go by train or go by
the red bridge on the Fairmont Pike
on account of the bad road Just
above Jimtown. The consequence
was that hundreds Of people of Cass
and Clay have not gone to town for
the last six months.
Next winter there will be com
parativelv good road fom Morgan
town to Granville and by making a
quarter mile Of macadamized road
along the narrows ABOVE Jimtown
persons could travel comfortably
from Jimtown to Morgantown and
then by making another mile of
macadam road from Jimtown to
Cassvllle, there would be com
paratively good road from Cass-
vile to Morgantown and by cxpend-
ing about $4,000 this could be done.
BY macadamizing about twenty
miles of the bad places in the prin-
cipal roads people could travel
almost as we'll in winter as in sum
