If every road leading into Denison
was a good road the merchants of
Deniosn would soon see a great in
crease in the volume of their country
trade. The Herald believes that the
best investment this city could pos
sibly make would be to see that all
roads leading into the city were in
the very best possible condition. II
would surprise the average citizen
TO know how far a little money. jul
diciously spent under the direction of
man who understands road work.
will go The great trouble with most
of the so-called road work i'm this
country is that il is done in a hap
hazard manner and with practically
no idea of what really ought to be
done and provided for. The most i'm
portant thing to be looked after is
the question of drainage. Keep the
surface water from standing on the
road and the road will stand up under
pretty heavy rains. Many Of the
roads around Denison are little more
than bitches and the water drains in.
to them from both sides. Under
such conditions the road is bound to
be mudhole the greater part Of the
time. The split log drag is of prac-
tically no avail on a road Of this
character. 1t must be graded and
ditched If the road is high enough
so that there is chance for the
water TO get off of it then the split
log drag will put It in excellent con
dition if used after every heavy rain.

STREET LIGHTING.

The Herald is not fully advised
concerning the propositions before
the council for street light contracts.
Is the gas company making a bid for
such contract, or is the contract
asked for by the electric light com
pany the only proposition before the
council? If the gas company is in
the field for the contract and is in a
position to offer the city contract
we presume the best bid viii get the
contract But If the gas company is
not yet in position to make a bid for
such service, but will be later on, has
It so stated to the council, and asked
for delay in granting a new long
time contract for street lights?
These questions are asked because
there is an opinion expressed by
many people that If the gas people
will be in a position TO make com
petitive bid for street lights within
the next few months it is a bad time
TO enter into long contract with any
one company. The Herald presumes
the finance committee and other com.
mittees having in hand the settle
ment of this matter have canvassed
the situation thoroughly and will do
what is best in the premises
