But Mr. Price says that all the roads
won't require 10 be made good roads:
that the mountain roads need not be
thought of. What have our people in
the mountain done that they should not
share in the good roads2 1t seems to
me that they need roads for the develop
ment of their country more than we do
on this side Of the river. Ought not all
to share alike in the improvement and
who shall say that the road with few on

these increased taxes 10 the betiermeut
OF the roads. | wish TO convey the idea
that If we had more money to be ex-
pended In our districts in the improve
ment Of. first, the principal 'Oads of the
districts, and later the lateral ones, that
we could make roads good enough for
all purposes for one-third the money
that will be spent TO make every road a
scientifically built road. With our sys-
TEN of turnpikes as basis, 10 which all
other roads lead. we could in all that
part of the County west OF the Charles
Town Millwood turnpike. where mate
rial is plentiful AMI the country not
hilly. build good macademized roads for
$500 per mile; ia the rest CT the County
for $500 per mile An increase of - or
20 cents on the 800 in addition to our
present levy would be all that would be
needed No one would object TO this
increase IL we cot good roads. but when
we think If 50 cents on the 800. most
of it going TO highly-paid officials, we
feel that we had better pause and con

selves
Mr. Editor, I have again written al
some length because have felt that IN,

subject. and hope that the elimpses
have herein given Of this proposed law
would lead everyone 10 look into IN,
matter for himself so that he can form ;
correct judgment wish 10 assure m,

Repeal Bill Passed

Senate Bill No. 436, repeating
the Clarke County Special Road
Law, was passed by the State Senate
without opposition last Friday,
and was passed by the House of
Delegates, without opposition, on
Saturday.
The wording of the bill is as
follows:
BE it enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia, That an act
entitled An Act to provide for
working and keeping the public
roads in order in Clarke county
approved February II, 1877, and
all acts amendatOry thereof, be,
and the same are hereby, repealed" "
The friends of the repeal should
tender their congratulations to
Senator K. ). Parks and Speaker
X. +. Byrd for their good work in
the matter, in the face of a terrible
such of legislation in both houses
of the Assembly.
1t is not thought possible or prob
able that Governor Swanson will
veto the bill. and he is expected to
approve it within the next day or
two.
\ bill introduced in the Senate
10y Mr.. Parks to authorize the
Board of Supervisors of Clarke
county TO maintain a tollgate on
what is known as the Snicker's 5
Gap Turnpike, was defeated on
objection from the Senator from
Loudoun.
As will be observed by the title
of the old special road law, il only
provided for working and keeping
the public roads in order. The bill
appropriating S25O,OOO for State
aid to roads provides for permanent
construction and Improvement
and it has been our belief tha
/ Clarke county could get none o.
that fund On account of the specia
road law making no provision 70,
permanent roads. We have had n,
occasion to change that opinion "
to this time.
On account of other road article
from Hon. Thos. ID. Gold and Hon
W. L. Lewis, our comments viii
be reserved for next week.
