). n. Van Ettsn. PUBLIsHRR,

Under the new road law enlargine
the powers Of road supervisors and
the requirement of a cash tax, there
is no reason why, If proper official
are elected, the county should not
have good roads, or at least great
improvement in them. Money judi
ciously spent and work intelligently
done M, 8, show beneficial results.
The practice of patching roads OF
making the repairs in a temporary
way is not profitable, because not
permanent. Whatever is done should
be well and substantially finished.
One great detriment to making roads
good is allowing water to stand on,
and on hills allowing ii to run down
over the road. Water must be kept
ont of the road or the work will moi
be permanent. On the level, ol
where nearly go, roads should be vel
roonded and on grades or hills goot
