For Better Virginia Roads.

The fact that Virginia ranks

reason why Virginia should not 30

estimated by the United States
Government that the farmers of
Virginia are losing ten million
dollars year on account of the
increased cost of hauling over the
bad roads of the State. In addition
to this, the roads In many parts of
the State are so bad that trucking.
