way Law
Eastern Motorists Doing Good
Work for Betternent of
Arteries of Travel
By K. K. PH0mmedieu

The good roads committee OF the
automobile club of America reports
that Governor Hughes recently signed
the new highway law OF the state Of
New York The new law divides all
highways into three classes, state,
county and town highways. The state
highways are TO be built by the depart
ment at state expense, the county high
ways are to be originally selected and
maintained by the several county boards
of Supervisors, and the town highways
comprise all other roads which are to
be repaired and maintained by the local
authorities under the direction of the
department and under the general su-
perintendence Of the county or district
superintendent The new law also pro-
yides for the laying out and building
OF 1882 miles of state road TO connect
the large centers of population, thus
forming q great system of through
routes. About 500 miles Of this sys-
tenn have been constructed in small dis
jointed pieces. These roads when built,
IL is hoped, will be like the national
roads of France. The law makes ample
provision for their maintenance There
the $4,000 900 bond issue 100000.
The law provides that one-half of this
sum is TO be devoted TO the building OF
the state highways, and one-half 10 the
building OF county highways. Al
though this may not be enough money
TO complete the great system planned,
il viii go far toward completion, and
the remainder will be easily raised

Wen admit It has It's charm.
As ne hears the cows allowing
With their load of Jersey sweet
And sees the pigs a.growlng
Soon to give him sausage meat
Then beholds his garden teeminS
With its cabbage, peas and beans
And at supper finds him feasting
On cold jaw and turnip greens,
With his wife and babies round him
Yes, the pictures very nice,
And confess to you, we're bound TO say
That Il seems paradise.
But when comes the rainy season.
With the grass about knee.high,
And the scene is not so pleasing.
Beg your pardon. Brother Guy,
Then again. excuse the author.
When your corn begins TO shoot.
There will come summer northel
Which will scorch from top to root
And then when you sell your cottor
At the usual selling price
You'll find there's something lacking
In your modern paradise.
