GOOD ROADS.

of New York State authorized the
expenditure of the immense sum of
fifty millions of dollars for good
roads. Work under this law is to
be commenced in the spring, and
considerable discussion has already
arisen between the advocates of
continuous stretches across differ
ent parts Of the state, and those
who favor constructing shorter sec
tions OF model roads in all the
counties of the state.
The method Of building short
stretches Of permanent stone road
in all parts of the state, where they
become object lessons and encour-
age the construction of similar
roads by the local authorities, has
been the policy adopted by Mary
land. These improvements have
been impartially distributed over
the varions counties which made
application for them. This meth
Cd has the additional advantage Of
largely eliminating the petty jeal-
ousies between different districts
regarding the selection of roads to
be improved, which always crops
up when Translate road building
is considered, Again, this is the
method which has proven most
successful in other states, where it
has generally led to the construC-
ton Of large extensions of the mod
ell roads without state aid, which is
really the main object of such aid.
Massachusetts, in ten years has
built, under state aid, 500 miles Of
modern road. In less than the
same time the counties
COR towns of the state have
built $50 miles additional of similar
roads, at their own expense, from
the force Of the examples set them.
When state aid was commenced
in Maryland last sumner, the
method adopted of building short
stretches of good roads was criti-
cised in some quarters as being too
slow a method to ever show any
comprehensive results, The eX-
perience Of Pennsylvania was cited,
where a new road law was in oper-
alton and the counties did not seem
to be cooperating with the state.
The fact that good roads require
time to build, that it takes time to
file applications for aid, to make
surveys, to advertise for bids, etc,
was seemingly forgotten. The re
cent report Of the Pennsylvania
Highway Commission entirely dis
proves this impression and shows
that roads are being improved in
every county in that state, and
that one hundred and twenty six
miles of stone roads are now in the
course of construction. When it
is considered that Maryland has
only started to build good roads
during the past seven months, the
showing made is a most excellent
one, and one which will be much
improved upon the second year
that the law is in operation. There
is nothing better that a state can
do for its citizens than to assist
them in obtaining good roads, and
it is a cause for congratulation
that Maryland has already made a
start in this direction.
