A petition from the rural mall carriers
of Virginia, offered Ivy request IN the
1 Senate yesterday by Mr.. Echols, OF
staunton. asks an improvement In the
condition OF the roads that the soo car
riers of Virginia daily have TO pass
over. The petition suggests an eiaoorate
system OF road Improvement on lines ap-
proved by the Rural Letter Carriers As-
ISOLATION OF Virginia.
| 1t is contended by the letter carriers
that the measures they propose Is mod
| eled after methods Of road control now
| in vogue in New York, North Carolina
and several of the Western States The
proposition involves a radical departure
IRON the present system. 1t does not
purport to lessen the expense. For two
or three years the tax would be ABOUT
double, the roadbeds having gotten into
such a low condition that many places
IN them must be almost entirely re-
moved. nut in respect OF this, accord
ing to a letter accompanying the petl-
Ition. many OF the farmers have baen
consulted, and they do not object to
/ their road tax being doubled, provided
the money is spent on the roads As It
il now. fully one-third of the money
levied for road purposes is used up by
4 the officers. and under the system pro-
posed. 1t lis claimed there would be IN q
few years number OF men IN each lo-
cality master road-builders.
"Please remember the rural carriers
that move constantly and farther than
any other class says the letter. They
j ara engaged In the most important work
| that has ever been. devised for the gem
eral putAlcss good. tThe carrier must
make his time IL 1t ia possible. This he
often does at ~ risk,
