W. Schaffer. The court states that Geary A.
Long and George H. Clarke, executors of the

What the Good Roads Will Cost.-The
cost per mile of the roads to be constructed I'M
der the State appropriation of $4,000, 000is now
the most important question before the Roads
Commission.
The model road will cost from $1,000 to
$4,000 mile and require 500 to $500 a mile
annually to maintain. This kind of road is
constructed according to the latest methods and
of the best materials, and is supposed to out
live its builders several times over
The cheap roads, which are believed by some
residents of the counties to be serviceable, can
be constructed at cost of from 80 500 to So, 600
q mile and require an expenditure of from S35
to $50 mile annually. The material for this
road depends upon the locality, and if good
stone is near by it can be used at low cost.
Drainage and cuts and other engineering work
are restricted by the low expenditure.
The third kind of road is the medium be.
tween the two. This will cost about SC, 600 or
$1,000 mile and require $50 and 500 each
year to maintain. 1t is estimated by those in
favor'of this kind of road that all of the neces-
sary engineering can be done within this figure.
On turnpikes which will have been pur-
chased by the Commission it is estimated that
q comparatively less amount will have to be
expended, many of these roads being in good
condition at present and needing only top
dressing and proper drainage and grading.
Work of the Orphans Court.-The will
of Mrs. Sarah j. Freeland, late of the 9th dis
trict, was admitted to probate on Tuesday. She

brother, George ]. Ebaugh, and the residue of
