DADE COUNTY'S GOOD ROADS.

In another article mention is made of
the opinions automobiles and others
have expressed in reference to Dade
Countys rock road. As sample we
publish the following from A. G. Batch.
elder, noted autOmobilist, secretary Of
the American Automobile Association,
and consequently an advocate and an
expert judge of what constitutes n good
road. In the Times. Union interview of
him he says:
81 made the trip Friday from Palm
Beach to Miami and return over the new
road recently completed between those
points. 1t is good road and is fast
becoming popular with owners of auto
mobiles. II it was little wider it
would be better, but it is start in the
right direction, and the authorities who
built the road have done more to adver-
tse their section of the State than you
would think possible 1t will be talked
about, and the owners of automobiles
who travel over the road this season will
influence Others to bring their machines
to Florida next winter"
And we would add that the narrow
ness of the road that Mr.. Batchelder
claims is its only fault, will probably be
remedicd by next winter-at least that
is what the County Commissioners in
tend to have done if possible. Their
main, or rather, primary object, was to
get the road through at some width az
quickly as they could and to improve and
widen it as soon thereafter as possible,
and also extend it toward and eventually
to the northern bounary of the county.
Mr.. Batchelder and all other auto.
mobilists can rest assured that Dade
County intends to have as good and as
many rock roads as necessary, and to get
them as fast as the county road tax will
allow.-Palm Beach News
