Looking Into the Future.
randolph Herald and News.l

Some day, when our state highway de-
partment gets fully organized and equip
ped the work of constructing and i'm
proving our permanent roads according
to the accepted standard of a we'll
graded and well drained bed, with a
good gravel covering, will be carried on
more systematically than at present. In
stead of a few slow two-horse teams
drawing one or two cubic yards of
gravel often long distances, throwing
it down in the road or over the improved
roadbed where a man with a hoe"
smoothes it out and sits down to await
the next load. the process of wearing
the road down hard being left to time
and the foundering traffic, instead of
this we shall see well organized gangs
of practical and experienced road build
ers, with a competent boss at their head,
doing the work largely with machinery.
Traction engines viii draw the gray and
roadbed material, it will be laid down
quickly and steam rollers will lamp 1t
into place Immediately. These gangs
will move over our main thoroughfares
from town to town under direct control
of the state department, leaving the
local roads to the care of the town au-
thorities. There will also be an equip
ment for filling ruts and smoothing
roads hat only need this to put them
in excellent shape again. All this Is
but a little ways ahead, in the progress
sion of the good roads idea.
