GOOD ROADS.
Meeting Of Com m ssioners Of Ad-
olson County.

olson County.
Representatives from almost every
town in Addison county attended the
meeting in Grange hall, in this village,
Wednesday, under the direction of
State Highway Commissioner Charles
w. Gates of Franklin. The meeting
was called to order at 10 o'clock. j. H.
Dodge of the Office of public roads, de-
partment of agriculture, gave an inter-
esting lecture illustrated with stereop-
ticon views. Mr.. Dodge's talk was
followed with close attention by the
road commissioners. One of the points
made by the lecturer was that good
road must be made from the bottom,
and not the top. The necessity of
building strong foundation was urged.
Considerable time was devoted to the
different grades of stone which are used
road building, and the distinctive
qualities of each.
Besides the commissioners, who at
tended both morning and afternoon ses-
sions, many outsiders, about $50 in all,
were present.
