SPOTsYLvANIA. VA, Aug. S.
Some fifty or more citizens OF Berke-
ley district In this county to-day Pc
titioned the board OF supervisors of
the county to ask the Judge of the
Circuit Court 10 order an election
upon a bond issue Of $4,000 for the
permanent improvement of the pub
lie roads leading from SHELLS to wal
lers church, distance of twelve
miles. and from Roxhury Mills to
Partlow's, fourteen miles.
In harmony with this motion the
court. being in session, Immediately
entered the order and the canvass
began at once.
The county good roads associa-
ton will Immediately begin the work
of education by the Introduction of
speakers and the holding OF public
meetings.
Good Roads Lesson.
Nothing, however. will so practi-
caIly convince the public as the beau
tiful roads now built and being built
in CORTLAND District of the county,
The cooperation and work of the
state Good Roads Association Will he
invoked to aid In this enterprise.
The two public roads named above
for permanent improvements are con
nected by a public highway, which
runs from Travellers Rest to Thorn
bury distance Of I've miles, and a
public spirited citizen declared to-
day that II the bond issue carried at
the November election next, he would
give n thousand dollars towards the
permanent Improvement OF this con-
Meeting link between Travellers Rest
and Thornhury.
Sentiment Increasing.
This shows how the good roads
sentiment Is being intrenched in the
minds Of the people. and II IS work
ing and permeatirA into the public
mind generally.
Another feature. which gives It
strength and favor. Is the rapidly in
creasing farm and real estate values
along these improved highways
Already between Fredericksburg
and Spotsylvsnia Courthouse several
farms have been seld for prices far
in advance of what was asked for
them before the roads aIong that
route were improved. and not a farm
can be bought now except at an ad-
vance of from rs TO 100 per cent
more than what was asked for them
before the permanent road improve
menf began.
