The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1914-03-25

The meeting of road commissions
ers and selectmen of Bennington
county Tuesday under the direction
of State Highway Commissioner c.
w. Gates was the eighth or ninth
similar gathering that has been held
in Bennington county and by those
present is considered the best. The
good roads movement has gained Inn
petus during the past few years and
roads have come to be recognized rs
one thing essential to all kinds of adj
vance. Good schools, delivery of
mail, marketing and value of crops.
price OF real estate, health and even
life itself in times when the presence
of doctor is urgently required, de
pend to a surprising degree on the
roads. Vermont in quiet way and
without going into debt has been
making more Roadway in improving
roads than any other state Part of
ii has been due to the better under
standing of the subject by the people
and the pressure of public demand,
but Vermont owes q great deal TO her
present highway commissioner, MIR
Gates, who has hewed steadily to
the line, making some mistakes and
correcting some errors as the years
progress but all the time advancing
and bringing up the standard Par
ticularly is credit due Mr.. Gates for
the fact that the state has not run
astray after macadam in building
country roads as have practically all
our neighbor states, finding out too
late that dirt and gravel are more
| durable. New York bonded for n hun
dred million dollars payable in fifty
| years to build macadam roads. Now
after the money has been spent il is
| found the roads unless rebuilt are
good for only about ten years, which
means that the people of New York
| will be paying for these roads and al
| so paying interest charges forty
| years after the roads have worn out
and had TO be rebuilt. Vermont has
done some of her business foolishly
and extravagantly. but in road affairs
she has done better than most of her
sister states. The Banner takes some
pride in the fact that during all those
years when the clamor for macadam
was at its height this paper has stood
with Commissioner Gates in favor of
the use of our native gravel and 9TH
er materials at hand. The Banner and
Mr.. Gates, too, have always agreed
in opposition to bonding the state
to build roads. We should build roads
as fast as we can pay for them. but
we should not mortgage our chill
dren's Inheritance for anything so
soon worn cut as even good
road. For these reasons. and for
many others, which space does not
| permit here. The Banner feels like
congratulating Mr.. Gates upon his
work for Vermont and We are doubly
pleased to see the increasing interest
and enthusiasm at his county meet
ings.
