There is considerable talk
about good roads just at this
time, and there is no doubt
now but what some steps will
very shortly be made i'll that
direction. We have fine roads
here, and there is no question
about it. The trouble is all in
the bad places that occur at
different places along all orr
roads. There are some places
that will never be made 10
stay i'll repair until the
necessary drainage is given,
and without the drainage il
would call for repairs all the
time, whereas, if a Little effort
was made to get some
drainage, the roads could then
be fixed III first class order,
and remain that way, as the
water would drain Of I'M
mediately after a rain, 10
matter how heavy the rain.
Many instances there are
that the mere cleaning OF a
ditch would improve sonle Of
the bad places considerably.
We trust that when al effort
is made to improve our roads.
that pains will be taken to
avoid a lot of useless work
and expense.
