cHEsTERFlELD,s GOOD WORK

We have bocn watching with %pecullnr
interest tho 1novemeht IN S Chesterfield ,
county In fthei direction ofagood roads,
It has been moro than once stated that for
many years Chesterfield spent $4,000 an
nua11y on her public roads, set has not
single mile OF frst-class road to show
for it. Several months ngo enterprislns
citizens Of the county took up the sub
loot and formed an organization, the OBJ
feet OF which Is to utilize the money ap-
proprlated for roads In a buslness-like
and workman-like manner. This organi-
cation, known as 1.-The Advisory Road
Board."g appeared before the Board OF
Supervisors on Tuesday and asked for the
purchase BY the county Of ten good
mules. with necessary equipment esti-
mated to cost In all 5000. This eSpendi-
ture was ordered to he made out OF the
surplus remaining in the hands OF the
county treasurer at the close of last year,
and the road board will have this eautp-
ment to beg WITH with Its halt OF inc
levy OF 1907 practically untouched.
The road board starts out we'll, and
we hope that 1t will do good thing
for the county Of Chesterfield and gIVe
other counties in the State a valuable
object lesson. From what we can learn
there Is no doubt that the need IN VIZ
ginia is not SO much for larger approprla-ta
tolns as for Intelligent direction OF the
work. First Of all, the work should be
mapped out by competent engineer ana
should be done In scientific ana SUD
stantial manner. so that, when It is once
done, 1t will not have to be done over again
the next year. The Improvements. as they
progress, should be permanent. good
road once made should not need more
than slight improvements from year to
year for all time to come.
we do not undertake to discuss the
practical methods of road-making, for we
are not competent to do so, but the gen
eral principles which We have lad DOWN
cannot be successfully assailed.
