Good Roads Address.

'Thc leading address OF the afternoon
vas hy Prof. Geo. r. Files OF UoWdoin
College uDon Good Roads PROT.
Files began his address by criticism
Of the present system of road building
He also said that the sYsirm followed
by towns ia the selection of their
highway commissioners had made the
office = nch,io;rl pull. II a town secured
n good man for road commissioner.
it often happened that he was not in
office more than a year. 1t takes at
least a Year To educate man in road
building and in many of these tof, MS
rs soon as the commissioner had edu-
Gated himself in road building he WAS
removed by some man who had
stronger pun.
The speaker said that in Brunswick.
however, by earnest work, they had
succeeded in keeping a man in Office
for two years. Previous to that, the
town had had four road commissioners
in five years. The people are aroused
in the matter and they NOW propose To
keep this good man in Office as long
as they can.
Prof. Files also criticized what h"
called the patchwork method of build
ing roads now employed in the state
Of Maine. and said that the State had
expended, annually, about 81 1900 600 in
this kind of road building. 1t was the
present system which was to blame
for this. The average town, with the
small amount which ii appropriated
and the small amount it got from the
State was able to build only little
patch of road each year.
He cited a Brunswick case, where
the town appropriated $1,000 each year
and received $3.50 annually frcm the
state, and during five seasons of this
kind OF road building only seven
eighths Of mile had been built. The
first two sections of this road have al
ready practically disappeared. and
building the road, pieeemeal. in this
manner had made il cost at the rate
Of $4,000 a mile where it ouSht not
to have cost more than $500
He said that the great trouble with
the roads that have been improved by
the state was that they We're not
maintained. One reason for this was
that the State had not allowed amy
money to be expended for mainte-
nance and another, that the constant
liz changing road commissioners DID
not know how to maintain the roads
after they We're built.
He compared piece of road IN
Kennabunk which went to pieces the
same year after it was built because
of road in Kittery which is being kept

road commissioner. This piece of
road. he said. Will in all probability,
last indefinitely under that kind of
maintenance. When any little defect
if shown, or The road starts To rut,
after a rain. this commissioner
emooths it up with Il split log drag,
and, under his management, the road
is row lust as good as il was when
ii was first built.
Prof. Files spoke briefly in regard
t. the amendment to the constitution
OF the state proposed by the special
SESSION of the Legislature. permitting
4 bond issue for the construction of
system cf State roads. He favored
the proposition. and said that by the
.avncnt Of money raised in Ibis way

money appropriated ny the atas.
