We must use our influence wherever
possible to get rid of the large idle class
that hang about the street corners and
dens of misery in our large cities.

Some of the unimproved ones are right here in Litchfield County. Connecticut. fanked by bushes and underbrush galore, lack ing protection in dangerous places and in deplorable condition in other respects. Improved conditions along various lines follow the construction of good roads, Such has been the case in Sharon, in Ga naan and in other places in this vicinity and it is to be regretted that there has not been more activity along this line, not necessarily the construction of ex- pensive state roads everywhere but such road improvement as every highway commissioner could give his "beat" if he really set about it. AS we have previous remarked, there are dozens of pieces of road in northwestern Litchfield County that are disgrace to the sections in which they lie. It is a fact that cannot be successfully disputed. that this state, some portion of it at any rate, is consider ably behind adjoining states in the mat ter of roads.
