DEFECT IN ROAD SYSTEM
That of Laying Out New r Dads
Mos; Serious.

One of the most serious defects in
the present road system is that of the
manner OF locating the routes. The
law provides that three viewers, ap-
pointed by the county court shall do
this work. The county surveyor is
made a member of this board of
viewers, the other two being who.
ever the court sees fit to appoint. 1t
is seldom that these men are road ex
perts with the result that roads are
located wherever policy dictates
rather than on the route hav ng the
ligbtest grade and shortest distance.
The taxpayers are thus put to extra
expense in constructing roads, while
the travelling public is put to great
incon venience and expense by being
conf PEELED to traverse round about
roads and to go up and down heavy
grades
jackson county, having undertaken
the betterment Of its highways, has
hit upon practical way of securing
a board Of viewers, who Thoroughly
understand their business and are not
no likely to be Influenced by local
conditions as are individuals having
neither technical knowledge nor their
official positions at stake. That
county having road master, the
court makes him member of each
board of viewers. and as the county
veyor is also member by law,
this plan enables the county to have
two men, at least, on the board of
viewers, who are competent to Judge
as to pIacticability of the route
under consideration. The road
master gets no extra pay for this
work as he is on a salary of $1,000
per year, which thus saves to the
county the pay of one viewer. The
scheme is working to the great salts
faction of the good road advocates of
that county as this board does not
put a road over steep hills to crafty
some rancher's idea Of having the road
by his place on the section line, or of
crossing a swamp in order to avoid
some pigpen.
Railroad companies understand the
ultimate economy Of proper route
for railroad and they don't send a
committee of their directors nor of
other persons not skilled in the bust.
ness, but they secure the best en-
gineers to be had and spend thousands
of dollars making surveys before
beginning is made on grading. II
roads were laid out by competent en-.
giheers the first cost Of construction
might be greater than is now the
rule, but in future maintenance aad
in the economy to the travelling
public, there would be such saving
as would make this method of road To-
eating far more profitable TO the
county than is the present indi ifferent
way by men who do not know the
economy of grades in the transporta.
tion problem they are called ON to
value. The time though, is not far
of when the same thoroughness will
be devoted to the locating Of wagon
roads as is now given to the locating
OF railroads.
