Official Good Roads Association.

The sudden appearance of what is
called the National Good Roads Associa-
tion, and their especial interest in the
County of Addison and town of Middle
bury is certainly quite a remarkable
circumstance, but if they suppose that
they are going to fool the citizens of
either county or town to spend larger
lums to build roads for the wealthy of
other States to STEAL in the interests of
their pleasures, they will find themselves
very much mistaken.
We are all of us in favor of good roads,
as good as our wants require; and as a
rule we have them, certainly in Mid
deburv, and to large extent through
out the county whilst in very large
part of the State, especially throughout
Eastern Vermont, the roads are among
the best that can be found anywhere in
the world, as good-a large part of them
as the roads of Central Park, on any
other of the best park roads in the
country.
We can all remember that good roads
have been the hobby of our friend, Mr..
Clement, the late Governor, but he has
played out upon it, and gone to Europe,
where perhaps he expects to find the sort
of road he is interested in.
If there are any other parties that
want to undertake to fool Vermonters
upon the good roads issue they will find,
as did Mr.. Clement, that they are fool
ing no one but themselves
What VermOnters are interested in
especially at this time is safe roads;
roads over which they can travel in
their ordinary avocations without being
murdered or having their horses MUIR
dered; roads which their wives or child
rem can use with safety.
This is the kind of good roads which
we want at present, and propose to
have; and those who think they can
steal them with immunity or make
slaves and serfs of Vermont farmers and
Vermont citizens generally, in building
roads for other interests to monopolize,
will have a chance to get IA full test case,
and will perhaps in time get far wiser
impression of the quality of our people.
In all seriousness gentleman the time
of your efforts is most inopportune.
We are of course anxious to make GER
tain improvements in our roads, and in
our walks, especially the roads or streets
and walks of our villages, and we are
going to do it. Col. Ilsley has pointed
out certain improvements which should
be made at Middlebury, and we were
much pleased within a day or two to
hear Mr. Fred Foote strongly express his
preference for cement or stone walks,
rather than the kind we have been eXper-
imenting with mostly in Middlebury
Our people are all interested in improve
ments like these, and very willing to lend
their assistance, or to consider any other
that are sensible and timely, but we Ger
tainly do not propose to be used as cat.
paws by some National association to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for the auto
mobilsts of other States. Nor can we
see any necessity for any extraordinary
expenditure at this time upon our roads
