 Il was realized by every one that now is most inopportune time to work the roads, on account of the dry weather, and as a result the workers did not turn out as largely as they would have other wise Another drawback was the short time allowed in which to work up an interest and advertise the affair, but notwithstanding these things much good has been aecomp- hshed There is talk now of sett- ing another day some time this fall when conditions are more favorable , and il is hoped 10 get much larg- CT force Now that the people are becoming aroused on the good roads question. it is expected that the work will be continued right along until all the roads leading into Springdale are put in first-class con dition. It has been suggested that The News call the attention of farmers and others to the import ance of dragging the roads as soon as we have a rain If this is done.
