Good Road Suggestions

A good road to a good town is a
good thing.
Good roads promote prosperity
bad roads provoke profanity.
Rome's temples have fallen, but
her good roads survive.
Life is hard road in a poor
roads nelghhorhood.
If the roads around a town are
bad 1t might as well be an island.
If you want to know if good
roads are a good thing. ask a horse.
In constructing roads remember
that there are few towns that look
so good to farmer he will kill a
horse to get there.
The town is the heart Of COM
munity, the country the body.
Roads arteries by which they live.
Good roads mean circulation and
good health.
The town and the surrounding
country are necessary to each other;
