Build ForPermanency.

Land and property, said a speaker at
a good roads convention, were valuable
In proportion to their accessibility to
market or pleasure, and whatever adds
to the accessibility enhances values.
The history Of the country, he stated,
bore witness to the most useless and
wasteful extravaganza in the use Of
money and labor on Its highways, and
the lesson to be learned was to build
as did the ancients, for permanency
and with the utmost care and thought
for the future.

The Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain adds Its
evidence to the cause of good roads
when it says: ..The benefits of public
improvements. especially paving. are
shown in the rapidly increasing value Of
property within the paving districts Of

pay the cost of the paving. It should
