The attempt Of Gov. Iawley to
convert some of the school bonds
held by the land board, into cash,
which would be loaned to the set
tiers on the Cary Act tracts at a
rate of 6 per cent, bore fruit at the
meeting of the board last Saturday,
when resolution was adopted
transferring $3.50, 900 worth of these
bonds to some eastern syndicate.
The bonds are now drawing . per
cent, and il is the intention to loan
the money realized from the sale OF
them to the farmer at & per cent
rate, thus giving the state a profit
of one per cent, besides enahliag
the farmer to secure loan at a
reasonable rate.

A PROPOSED BOND ISSUE

Az will be seen by reference to the
meeting of the trustees Tuesday ev
ening, the time has arrived when
some provision must be made for
meeting the Indebtedness Of the
town and providing means for de-
fraying the running expenses. At
the present time there is no avail
able cash in the treasury with
which to redeem warrants issued.
and as Il consequence the holders Of
these warrants are Obliged to accept
a discount in order to realize upon
them.
Practically the only source from
which the town can now derive any
revenue, is thatNealized by taxation
and even with a levy placed at IL
mills, Il shortage will still exist
With the cash valuation princi-
pie followed by the assessor this
year, a levy Of II mills would prove
heavy burden upon our citizens
at the present time, but under ex-
isting conditions ii is the only course
the trustees can pursue.
Ii is for the purpose Of relieving
this burden to a certain extent that
the question of a bond issue has
come up for discussion. From the
sentiments expressed 10y members oi
the board ii would appear that THEN
only desire is to issue bonds of A sufli.
cicnt amount 10 meet the necessary
requirements at the present time
and 10 carry forward improvement,
contemplated, which are Of para.
mount interest To every progrcssiv,
citizen of the town
With the money derived from
such an issue We are assured 10y III,
trustees that the burden of taxation
for the present year could bee reduced
at least one half, n instead Of ;
levy Of l5 mills which they will b'
forced to make, levy Of :! mill
would meet all requirements.
This is matter that comes righ
home In every iaxpyacr iii Jerome

Trenton, Feb. 14.-In his last an
lnua1 report which has been submit
ted to the governor. State Road
Commissioners Frederick Gilkyson,
of this city, shows that the total
amount paid for repairs on the i'm
proved highways of the state during

Motor Vehicle Fund, leaving 81,
'~0S6,16s.04 to be met from county
funds provided by the taxpayers.
This great cost of road repairs Ia
important when 1t il remembered
timated that the cost for repairs OF,
the roads this year Will be $500
.000. Thus, the road repairs for The
two years will cost nearly $4,000
600, much Of the expenditure being
due to the yea and tear Oh the
highways by automobile traffic.
This report of Colonel GfIkysen
differs from his former ores in hat
he has refrained from making any
recommendations for the Depart
ment, preferring apparently that
these should be left to his successor
in the office. He shows that since
the passage of the State Aid Law tn
1892 there have been built In the
state 1853 miles of roads, of which
a tri1e over eighty miles we're added
last year.
The amounts appropriated for re-
pairs from the county funds during

should be noted that this public roads once
branch Of the United States department of agrcul-
ture-is doing most important work for the cause
of road improvement throughout the length and
breadth Of the land For one thing laboratories are
maintained at Washington, specially equipped to
ascertain which of these best adapted TO
use in any specified locality under any given con-
ditons Even more important Is the work OF the
government bureau in building stretches OF model
road"
Under this plan of building model roads to serve
as object lessons in the possibilities and benefits
of highway improvements Uncle Sam sends his
force of engineers and experts into any community
which seems to need to be aroused regarding good
roads and with their own helpers, or by means OF
force of workmen recruited in the neighborhood
they construct mile or two miles of just the sort
of road that is ideal for that particular district
How beneficial these object lessons are is proven
by the fact that thousands of miles OF good roads
have been built in various parts of the country this
past few years with these governmental sample
roads as patterns. The showing made by rural
roads before and after" treatment by the govern
ment road doctors has prompted state legislatures,
county commissioners local boards of trade, farm
ers' oranges and other bodies to appropriate money
for more extensive good roads campaign In To-
calities that thus had taste of the benefits,
and in some states, notably Delaware, wealthy
men have paid out of their pockets for long
stretches of improved public roads for the use of
the whole community.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1911-08-25

The average od-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads necessary evil He realized
in what detriment they were to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give Then along came the United States gov
ernment when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation, for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found, as they
looked closer, that bad roads meant a hole In the
pocketbook of every tiler of the soil. 1t began
to be realized that if farmer required the serv-
ices Of four horses and an entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious as though he had
to accept a very low price for the yield of his
acres. Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer In behalf of better roads.
One Of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that it has broadened
his markets With rocky or muddy highways en-
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in shorter interval than was formerly re-
quired reach any one of several communities To-
Gated In different directions. This enables him
to attSin the market where he can get the best
prices Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely to be restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities. If the road nearest his farm
will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to rival line.
And the very fact that the introduction Of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obligirg to their
farmer clients.
The new countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold Its first annual con-
gress in the future will not GEEK 70 drive out
