GOOD ROADS IN SWEDEN.
Result of Seventy Years Organized
Effort.

Geo. w. Cooley writes for the
Evening Journal an interesting story
of the progress of the good roads
movement in Sweden. He writes
that since 1910 the state has, 10 an
eyer increasing extent, contributed
toward keeping the roads in good
condition. In that year a state ap-
preparation of $4,000 kroner, equal
to $4,000, was made for new roads
and for general road repairs. These
state appropriations have been con-
tinually increased until in the year
1900 an amount of /, 100000 kroner,
equal to 1851, 900, was granted for
that purpose.
By these means length of road
of about $1,000 kilometers, equal to
5000 miles, has been constructed or
improved since 1910. The construc-
ton of new roads has of late chiefly
been carried on in the north of
Sweden. During the years 1841 to
1900 state appropriations of about
81 100000 kroner were granted for
the construction Of new highroads
and the improvement of old ones,
the total cost amounting to more
than 100000.
Conformably to old DEGREES of law,
the roads were divided into classes
as follows: highroads six meters
wide twelve feet) and market roads.
In the eighteenth century there was
a further distinction in inferior
roads, or, as we would call them.
feeders. Many of these connect
ed the smaller villages and settle
ments with the main roads were
kept in repair by the respective vii
lagos.
During later times the public
roads were classified into kings high
ways, hundred road and.parish road.
The law of 1891 concerning roads,
which has been in force since 1895,
makes no other difference between
highroads and village roads. In 1895
there were 20, 1897 kilometers of high
roads, equal to 1857 miles. and 49,
462 kilometers of village roads,
equal to %. 846 miles. to which may
be added the 801 kilometers of
streets of towns constituting part
of the line of roads in the kingdom.
Keeping the roads in repair is a
burden heretofore laid upon the soil
ii, e., the occupants of adjacent
lands. Only the construction and
repair of large bridges was made a
joint business of one or more COM
munities. Previous to 1885 each
town and community kept it's own
roads in repair but by the law of
1891 Operative in 1885 this burden
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-11-10

was placed on all the property of
the district, so that the farming in
terests were to a certain extent re-
lieved Of part of the burden. But
the actual work of repair is done by
the owners or occupants of land
benefited.
To the amount required for keep
ing the roads in repair the state con-
tributes tenth and the balance is
distributed over the taxation dis
tricts. If the means do not prove
sufficient additional taxes must be
levied, or if a surplus is provided it
must be used for for general bet
terment, or for a reduction the fol-
lowing year.
The road fund must also be used
for snow blowing and all roads must
be kept open in winter. This burden
falls on each taxpayer, who is as
signed certain portion of the road
to keep open and in proper repair.
Towns and villages must keep their
roads in repair themselves and by
their own authorities superintend
those who have to do the service.
The condition of roads has been
greatly improved Of late, and is in
general satisfactory, some districts
excepted, however, especially in the
northern part of the country.

Newspaper men are very much
like other people in being foolish at
times, but the unfortunate thing is
that the reading public has to suffer
for it. A rank case is that of the
two Bigstone county papers, Editor
Whiteman having in an unguarded
moment called attention to the allie
cation that some one who was once
a Bigstone county officer had carried
away from the court house on his
retlrement..lead pencils, a cuspidore

official, appropriated the anonymous
reference and came back with this;

At last accounts, ..Whiteman had
named Editor Bolsta and asked that
the charnel-house be opened, and the
incident is likely to end with a bad
smell and the discounted regulations
of two newspaper men who ought
know better.

A ST. Louis paper has gathered
statistics on the number of fatal ac-
cidents resulting from foot ball, base
ball and auto racing during the past
i've years, and finds that lis persons
have met their death in base ball
games, 70 in foot ball games and 81
in auto racing during the Ave years.
There is aspercentage Of hazard in
every active pursuit or practice, so
that the above figures would hardly
justify the abolition of the two great
field games of this country, but the
present situation appears to call for
a revision Of, some of the rules safe
guarding the players in these games.

II HE one absorbing society event of
1 the week is, of course, the charity
ball Friday evening at the Odeon,
and it is expected that the event, which
follows the Thanksgiving festivities and
precedes the Christm2stide, will be one
of the most notable in the annals of
Salt Lake social functions.
The supper promises great possibili-
ties, and aside from the worthy cause
for which the affair is given, the value
received will well repay the price of a
ticket.
The grand march will begin at Q
o'clock and will be led by Governor
William Spry and Mrs. William c. Jen-
nings, president of the Hospital asso-
citation.
The decorating committee expects to
carry out plans whereby the Odeon hall
will present a beautiful appearance
which will be heightened by the hand
some costumes to be worn, and if is ru-
mored that there will be more than the
usual number Of elegant gowns to be
seen. The sale of tickets has been very
gratifying, and it is expected that the
attendance will rival that of past years.
Card tables will be found in the par
