To the Editor OF The Times; De-
spite your very prominent presenta-
ton OF my specification for greatly
improving our dirt roads and your
handsome bouquet the next day, l
have not as yet observed many at
tempts at such road improvement, al
though the conditions for such I'M
provement have twice presented them
selves since the publication. and are
now present The expenditure or time
and labor will be so small. and bench
cial results SO great, that residents on
one-half of our public streets should
have pride and energy enough to at
least make q trial OF so simple and In
expensive. yet promising. an action.
True. you said was proposing a thing
that being new. yet true. would be like
ly TO pass with small response, but l
had hoped that some few OF our hum
BILE citizens and cottagers having an
excess OF civic pride would start the
ball rolling by setting a good example,
and once the start Is made. am sure
II will run down the block or street al
most as water runs down hill.
Again during the past month or six
weeks, since his funds We're available.
Commissioner Haarer has had many
OF these dirt roads cleaned and graded
up and they may now be taken IN
hand and kept In good shape with
very little effort. II taken In hand In
the spring, as suggested In my for
mer favor, the commissioner would be
saved this extra work and so much
Of your tax money would be saved,
or he, the commissioner, could use
this saving to give these roads
special treatment that would make
them more dustless and sanitary than
the paved roads are with all their
sweeping and flushing,
We have little paper up in the
northwestern end of our city, called
the Northwestern Detroit Review,
which will republish my specification
as given In The Times OF two weeks
ago, and as a majority of the roads In
this section are dirt roads, We hope to
start the ball rolling in that section.
As soon as we get few practical ex-
amples will take some pictures OF
them and give them a write-up In The
Times, and am sure once the good
work Is started we shall indeed be
able to say we have town In which
life Is worth living. with roads that
will be nice to look on and live beside
rather than eye-sores as they are now
too many times during the year.
wish anyone who tries this better
ment would advise me by postal and
I will try and note II and make such
suggestions as i think are needed TO
get the best results. am,
Yours for good sanitary dirt roads
