To Keep Roads Good.

The question is not how to make
good roads, but how to keep good
roads. 1t is evident that the travel,
and especially hauling, when roads are
soft from continued rains or especial
ly when the frost is coming out, does
the greatest damage The law pro-
hibits heavy hauling at such times, but
1t is not often enforced. Now the rem
edy l propose is for the law to encour-
age broad treads, says a writer in the
Indiana Farmer. II all two horse wag-
ons had a tread Of twelve inches and
so arranged that the hind wheels
would not follow in the track Of front
wheels, only lap one or two inches,
they would be like roller, rolling for
ty-four or fortysix inches, and buggies
and carriages four to six inch treads
This would do. away with making
channels In the road by continued tray
Ell In one place. OF course this could
not be brought about all at once, but
there should be stringent law against
narrow treads when roads are soft,
and perhaps it would be well at first
to give a bounty for broad treads. II
would encourage the same, which,
think. solves the road problem.

At the national good roads conven.
ton W. l.. Dickinson Of Springfield.
Mass, secretary Of the New York and
Chicago Road association, told OF the
experience Of Massachusetts under
state aid laws. The road supervisor,
he said. used to be elected because he
was a good fellow or had political
pull. but people have realized that road
building and maintenance are as much
of a trade as anything else, and now
trained men are in demand for such
positions, as the other sort of super.
visor is too expensive. Mr. Dickinson
emphasized this by saying: 1T is an
actual fact that the two secrets Of the
good roads Of Europe are proper con-
structiOn and system Of constant
maintenance. You cannot have good
roads without system Of continuous
repairs any more than you can allow
your buildings, your horses. your har-
ness. your wagons or anything else to
be constantly used without repair. You
must keep up 4 system Of constant re-
pairs"

Rural Delivery Notes


The civil service commission and the
general have approved new
regulations to govern appointments Of
carriers In the rural free delivery serv-
Ice. Under the new plan simple com
petitive examination will be held to
develop only those qualifications that
are regarded al absolutely essential In
a carrier. and the names Of those pass
ing the examination will be placed on
the register in the order Of their rat
ings and certified accordingly.
Service on the rural free delivery
routes during the fiscal year from July
l. 1904. to June 90, 1905. will require
$13. 56O,O 600.

ROADS OF BAY STATE
RESULTS OF BUILDING GOOD HIGH
WAYS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Heavier Loads Drawn, Time Saved
and Property Increased In Value.
Work OF state More Than Duplicat-
ed by the Towns.

1--WE have just completed our hear
ings, given in all counties" says Will
liam E. McClintock. chairman of the
Massachusetts state highway commits
sion. land we have had scores of men
before us who have testified Of their
own volition that they are today doing
with one horse the work on the road
for which formerly two horses were
necessary and with two horses what
formerly required three or four and
that they are hauling from 80 to 100
per cent more load. Consequently for
the farmers and all drawers of freight
over the state highways there is a
large actual saving Of teams. Then
there is material saving of time, be-
cause the loads are drawn at a percep-
tibly faster rate over the easy grades
and smooth surface of the state roads
than over the steep grades and uneven
surfaces of the old style of dirt roads.
In exceptional instances the saving is
great" In the cost of hauling freight
and farm produce the chairman esti-
mates that there is a saving of % per
cent Of the former cost for every farm
er and freight teamster who uses the
roads habltually, says the New York
Evening Post. This does not include
the saving on harnesses which Is also
a material item.
New petitions for the construction OF
state highways are coming all the time
to the commission from all parts Of the
state. All Of the old opposition to the
work has died out, and state highways
have ceased to figure in politics. A rep
resentative from the road department
at Washington who has become famil-
far with the Massachusetts system
says that no state in the Union has as
good roads rs Massachusetts and that
no European country has any better.
Repeated testimony on the latter point
has been given to Chairman McClin-
took by returning travellers.
When the experiment here was new
the commission laid down the rule that
the work must be well done whatever
the cost. The cost was to be kept as
low as was consistent with safety, but
the construction must be good at all
events. The most expensive sections
OF road were selected for improvement
first. for, as chain is no stronger than

HIGHWAY HINTS.
some Points on Road Construction
and maintenance.

When good road is built, a proper
system of maintenance should be
adopted. as the most perfectly con-
structed road will soon go to pieces I'M
less kept in constant repair like wag-
on or building.
Water and narrow tires aid one an
other in destroying the roads, while, on
the other hand, wide tires are road
makers. They roll and harden the
surface, and every loaded wagon be-
comes in effect road roller
The practice Of using too soft, too
brittle or rotten material ON roads can
not be too severely condemned. Rock
for road building should be both hard
and tough and should by all means
possess cementing qualities.
Good material and careful mainte-
nance are the two most important req
uisites to q good road, but the first
without the second is waste of labor
and money.
The difference in the action of u mar
row tire and a wide one is about the
same as the difference between crow
bar and tamper-the one tears up the
other packs down.
1t is very ordinary circumstance in
France or Germany or Belgium to hear
Of Americans who are starting out up
on tour of 90 or 100 miles in parties
Of three OF four vehicles and twenty to
fifty people. They spend large amounts
of money in the country through which
these tours are taken. What is lief.
there by the tourists who take advan-
tage of these good roads Is itself suffi-
cient to pay the interest upon the cost.

This would require months for com

The people of the towns, seeing what
has been done under the supervision

work at their own expense So the
