A SUGGESTION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE
In regard to the road question,
| wish to make suggestion, If not
asking too much, through your
paper, and until the question has
been productive Of much-needed
results, suggestions are in order.
Judging from the concensus of
opinion Of those who have tried
the King Road Drag, | think it's
use on our roads that is, on clay
and sandy roads would undoubt-
eddy prove beneficial. The cost to
our county of a trial would be in
significant, hence, in order to give
tia practical test on our roads, |
make the following suggestion:
Let the road commissioners of
the VARIOUS districtsmake arrange
ments with say two or three men,
or more if necessary, on each sec
ton ofroad to make and operate
a drag on their section after each
rain or rainy season for a year or
six months. This arrangement
should be made with men who
havefairly good teams, and as com
pensation for time and trouble
their five days of regular work
should be cancelled. Then the test
can be made in a practical way
without any extra expenditure on
the part of the county.
