In an interview with the Dele
gate from Clarke and Warren. who
has been detained here by the i'll
ness of a member of his family,
we learn that he secured the adop-
ton by the House of Delegates of
important amendments to the Bill
Regulating Public Service Corpo-
rations, and the failure of the Sen
ate TO pass this bill means the loss
of the reforms provided by these
changes in the law, which have
been so long demanded by our peo-
pie. The amendments have to dc
with the turnpikes. They reduce
the toll from 20 cents to 10 cent,
on four-wheel vehicles. and from
10 cents To cents on twO-whee
vehicles. They also compel the
turnpikes TO graduate their toll,
and charge the traveller according
to the amount of the pike used
If the bill fails to pass the Senate
these reforms will be lost.

When he saw her he ceased rearing,

amazement of the men.

GOOD BRIDGES AND GOOD ROADS.

"Greenway" has taken the view
that good roads are of more need
to the county than bridges. We
are very strongly in favor of good
roads. but we believe that the
bridges should be built first. The
vote has been taken on the subject
OF bridges, and majority has
voted in favor of them. The ne
cessary law has been passed by the
Legislature, and all that remains
to be done is to see that the bridges
are constructed IN a good manner.
After the bridge contract Is given
out, and work actually started on
the structures, then the Courier
viii be found advocating such steps
as may be necessary to get better
roads. At this time. all of the
anti-bridge talk. together with the
road talk, Is only having the effect
OF creating dissatisfaction and de-
laying work on the bridges. There
is no use in having good roads to
the edge of the water, and then
no means of crossing it. At the
present time we are informed that
the river has to be forded. The
water is not high. and the only
reason for this Is the fact that the
ferries are blocked up by a little
running ice. We stated that we
believed that the bridges would be
worth S25, 900 to the county every
year. We 90 believe this. And
we believe that an increased land
value and consequent increase i'm
taxation; an increase in business
drawn from beyond the river, with
the accruing profits TO the mer-
chants on this side, viii prove it.
We confess that we believe better
roads will be worth even more than
that. But the view we take is cX-
pressed above. Steps have actually
been taken toward the bridges and
they will eventually be built. No
such steps have been taken for the
roads. and it will certainly be a
backward step TO throw the bridges
to one side simply because the
roads are thought TO represent
greater value to the county. If
those who oppose the bridges on
the ground that the roads will be
of more benefit to the county will
come out fairly and say that they
want good roads. and let the build
