jet OF Good roads without money, or
the use OF the split log drag" Mr.
King said that the split rail drag had
solved the problem OF making good roads
in the country districts and keeping them
IN the best possible condition throughout
the entire year.
''Sinee over 81 per cent Of the roads

This. I believe. can be accomplished bet
