A MUD SICK DOCTOR.
Physicinn's Suggestion to Improve
an Ohio County's Roads

an Ohio County's Roads.
III Morrow county, O., we are very
poorly provided with pike roads. says
DIR. ID. b. Virtue of Iberia. O.. In the
Auto Advocate and Country Roads.
Outside of the Incorporated villages
there are perhaps ten or twelve miles
of pike and some Indifferent gravel
roads. Mostly the roads are earth
roads, which in many months are
equivalent to mortar beds However,
the number of people who advocate
good roads is steadily increasing, so
that the enemies of good roads now
say, Something of the kind will be
done sooner or later" They hope that
1t will be later on account of an in
crease in taxation which would neces-
sarily follow. My idea Of what should
be done here Morrow county, is some
thing aS follows:
In this townshp-in fact. all over
this county-therc is an abundance of
sandstone of the kind commonly spo-
ken of as Bcrra grit also good supply
of fair quality gravel. Now, if the
roads were well graded and ditChed
with good large CulvcrtS where Cul-
vcrtS are needed and an earth track
constructed at one side and Il broken
stone and gravel track at the other. we
would have good roads comparatively
cheap. or course this sandstone and
gravel road should be we'll rolled as 1t
is laid down and when finished only

and are not rolled. Being loose, they

easy to drive from one track to an
other. and they spread easily. And be-
ing thin | fear they will not stand

As to cost, | believe good sandstone

was the nominal damages he claimed

have been summoned a dozen times. but

dukes lawyer replied that a name was
as much private property as a coat OF
arms, and the Judge so held
