ROADS AND BRIDGES.
A Practical Plan fer DOing the
Needed work.

Nco&seo
Editor Press and Banner:
have formulated comprehensive
and practical plan for improving the
roads and bridges in Abbeville county.
I will submit the plan TO the Good
Roads meeting to be held ut Abbeville
the frat Monday In April.
The p incil nj features Of my plan
are:
LIST. The roads and bridges should be
kent up by contract as q whole. That
is, o responsible aud competent man
should have the contract In place OF
eiting out the work in detail to. Dick,
Tom and Harry.
End. All the uad places in the road
should be ballasted with rock and
sand.
How to ballast q road.
lst. Mark out road bed seven feet
wide, then cut two trenches eighteen
TO twenty inches wide and ak to
twelve inches deep. The trenches
will extend from the outer edge Of
road bed OH either side eighteen or
twenty inches toward center of road
bed. This will leave forty inches
between the tpenches. We fill the
trenches with rock from adjoining
lands, and put six or ten inches Of
sand between the trenches in middle
Of road.
This will give what the railroad
men call q well ballasted road, firm
and smooth, and will stand any pres
sure that may be put ON 1t winter and
summer.
I have ascertaiDed by actual expert
ment that road can he fixed in this
way for twelve and one-half cents per
yard or $22O.O0 per mile.
We haye about one hundred miles
Of road that should be worked In this
way.
My plan has ~ ecial features as to
construction of bridges aud culverts
and grading OF hills, and to prevent
washing.
II the county wants the plan put In
operation and complete In one year .
time. bonds would have to be issued
to the amount Of $4,000 or S50.0O.
II II Is thought hest to extend the time
for completing the work in five years,
IL will require one mill annually In
addition 10 the present taxes. After
our plan should be completed the tax
levy should be reduced to about one
half the present levy.

paper published at Knoxville, Iowa,
called the Express, which contained
the article given verbatim below, and
which was taken from the Mitchell
vile, Iowa, Index. We have never
had the pleasure Of meeting the author
who signs his name as Harry DeVotis,
but he is either fool or out after some
notoriety at his home, for we have
never run up against a worse misrepre-

There is not one word of truth in the
entire article, unless, perchance, it be
that concerning the dives, and we opine
that some of the boys here will resent
the insult thrown at Colorado's girls if
they ever get acquainted with the
dirty skunk who wrote the article. The
