5000 for upkesp n the Intervening
period. without the reconstruction
there would be little or nothing to show
at the end Of ten years for an expendi'
ture Of $3.50. 1000. 900, and under any cir.
cumstances the annual tax for road
maintenance is pretty sure to reach
$40. 100000. not including interest and
sinking fund on the road bonds.
The new plan proposed by the Gov.
ernor involves n greater initial outlay
but as brick roads have an endurance of
twenty to thirty years they promise a
very large saving In the long run. II
the brick were bought in the open mar
ket the cost Of construction to the State
would be somewhere about $4,000 a
mile. but the annual repairs would only
amount to $50 a year on the average,
and the life Of the road could be
counted on as at least twenty years.
At the end Of this period, It is figured.
the macadam mile would represent a
total expense Of $4,000, while that of
the brick mile would not exceed sec, 900.
a saving Of $4,000 a mile.
But the State can make Its own brick
by utilising the deposits Of shale which
exist In profusion all through the re-
gion between the Pennsylvania border
and a line drawn from Buffalo to Al
bany. The State Geologist guarantees
that II Is material for paving brick Of
the first quality. In using the labor
going to waste In the prisons In making
up the brick there 10 no violation Of
the present policy Of the State. The
convicts are now employed In manu-.
featuring articles for use in State in.
stitutions; there Is no moral difference
in having them produce material for
the State roads. II prison labor be 70
employed, 1t Is estimated that the cost
OF constructing the brick roads can be
reduced to $4,000 a mile. and the saw
ing at the end Of twenty years ar com
pared with macadam cost will be
$4,000 a mile.
Notwithstanding this strong prima
facie case the Governor makes now
only tentative proposal. lie asks the
Legislature to make a moderate appro-
priation to try out the plan experiment
tally with the labor Of the Elmira Re-
formatOry. there being deposits Of shale
ample for the purpose close by the in
stitution. lie recommends also that
committee he appointed to inquire into
the whole subject and draft comprehen.

his message the Governor indicates so
lutions for two vexed questions Of great
Importance. our enormous and waste
full expenditure on roads and that Of
providing work for the convicts OF the
State necessary for their moral and
physical health.
1t Is to he hoped that the Legislature
will act favornbly upon both Of his ten.
