Long Green, 18th District.-The fine
weather of the past week has wonderfully i'm
proved the condition of our roads, most of
which were something terrible. Even our
Long Green avenue suffered somewhat, al
though the principal damage was where it had
been stoned previous to 1900. If people would
have little more consideration for the roads
and stay off of them for few days with heavy
teams at this time of the year. Gas they do off
their own fields) they would save the county
many dollars and have better roads; but there
is always, or is here, class of non residents
who pay no taxes and who think only of their
own interests and not that of the community.
Your correspondent from here two weeks
ago complained of the bad condition of the
road from Mr.. j. Schmidt's corner to Mr.. G.
A. Kolks corner, saying that two farms adj
joining the road paid more taxes than was
expended on this piece Your correspondent
went over this section of road about that time
land since the 200 perches of stone were put on
year ago. we think it compares very favor
ably with the other roads of the neigh borhood,
and our friends should consider that there are
other expenses to be met by the county be-
sides making good roads, which we would all
so much appreciate.
