1T MAKES GOOD ROADS.
King Method Has Secured Convert in
Burr Taft.

The King plan of working country
roads has secured a convert
Who will be next to stand up? Let
the good work go on. Burr Taft ap-
proves the King method of treating
roads introduced by the Commercial
club Wishing to test the scheme
and with a drag of his own cOnstruc-
ton, he at his own expense went over
about a mile of the road which runs
past his house. He expresses the
opinion that when the conditions are
favorable this treatment can be ap-
piled at about $125 a mile He also
states that in his opinion the King
method contains the secret for the
making of better roads crossing the
bottoms approaching this town. 1t
is greatly to be hoped that our road
commissioners will show the same
enterprise and ability to recognize a
good thing when they see it which
has been manifested by the Iowa Of
ticials Last night a representative
of the council and an officer of the
| Commercial club inspected the work
done by Mr.. Taft and pronounced it
good. We now wait for the appear
ance of another man living in the
country to manifest the same enter
prise which Mr., Taft has shown.
