The work Is but begun when We provide
money for the construction of highways. The
great secret is To lay out our funds as to
produce satisfactory and permanent sesnits-
getting a deHars worth for every dollar eX-

fashion the past twenty years to have gone
long way toward the obstruction of its roads III
