Organization Of Christian County:
was present at the last meeting
and heard glorious reports of the
results of the use Of the drag. also
heard many express their willingness
to haul rock and repair the likes.
The entire audience we're enthused
with the idea Of making transporta-
ton over the entire county more
tolerable at all seasons Of the year.
Ideas for the accomplishing of such
road conditions came hcm every
quarter of the audience.
Now that have been on the Clarks-
vile pike and Bradshaw pike daily
working days. for thirteen years as
rural mail carrier, andha e witnessed
the construction of roads in days
past and also the destruction of roads
up to the present day. and have
had the comforts Of gooo roads,
especially four miles of dirt roads,
and have been laboring hard for the
past three months to hold my ownwith
the destructive force, in the shape
of many immensely heavy loads.
Having had such experience
asked the question, Was there any
way of protecting the roads against
ruthless destruction after they had
been put in condition to make trans
portation of reasonable loads, i. e.,
taking the condition of the road bed
at its weakest point into considera-
ton, tolerable and less expensive?
My question is yet unanswered.
Some said there was, some quoted
the law in other states in regard to
heavy hauling. But there was no one
in the room who could speak with
any authority, and there were some
present who had been dealing with
the road question for many years.
/ have listened to many r "a d
speeches but have never heard
any one in authority say word about
protection from ruthless destruction.
Now it appears to me that the
Good Roads Association of Christian
County is making the same mistake
in their procee lure that has been
made here before, and has resulted
in the necessity for the present or
ganization to try to redeem the lost
cause.
1t appears to me that there is a
disposition at present, as there has
been, in the past, to build the second
story first, on pillows of snow. with
out any known means of protecting
the pillows, while the first story
(which is the law of protection) is
being built. Many second story
buildings have been erected in Chris
tian county at great cost, and for
which money was borrowed and is
yet unpaid, that have collapsed be /
cause the first story was never built.
The first story means in regard to
building pixies, some scientific plan
of building pixies, for the purpose of
accommodating a specific tonnage at
a reasonable cost Of maintenance and
