New hampshire Road Facts.

Our sister state of New Hampshire
started on the building of good roads
before Maine did, and the automobile is
rapidly getting Maine people acquainted
with the New Hampshire roads. While
conditions in Maine and New Hampshire
are somewhat different, it is instructive
10 have some definite statements regard
ing the New Hampshire work. The par
agraphs following are culled from a sum-
mary of the New Hampshire road situa-
ton in one Of our exchanges in that state.
New Hampshire has spent in the
neighborhood of S5,000,000 for state
roads in the past decade, and it is plan
ming to spend more.
Under the New Hampshire law, based
on the Massachusetts statute, the state
aids the towns in the building of state
highways, the amount contributed by the
various cities and towns being based on
their valuations.
At present New Hampshire has 1925
miles of state highways under the Juris-
diction of the state highway commission
or. The last legislature changed the old
law and made the commission single
head.
Most of the state highways are OF
gravel construction which cost on an
average about $1,000 mile to build as
against about $4,000 for macadam road,
such as is used in Massachusetts,. Only
in the more pOpulous communities is the
mac dam construction used. Commits
sioner Everett says that he finds that the
gravel construction is good enough for
the traffic in the state.
New Hampshire maintains patrol
system which has worked very well. A
man and single dump cart has six miles
of state highway TO patrol and keep III
repair. The plan has worked so well
that the officials of the state highway
department are pleased with it and as the
state highways are extended the patrol
system will be established.
Some me ago the state completed
three trunk lines running north and
south-the Connecticut valley road, the
Merrimack valley road aud the Ports
mouth-seashore road. All have been
highly appreciated by tourists and lew
doubt today that the money the state
and the various cities and towns invested
in the three enterprises was money well
spent. State officials and business mer
feel that the State has got BACK IRON
tourist business more than it has put in.
to the roads.
Now the proposition is to build cross
state routes-one in the north country
one in the central part of the state anc
the other in the southerly section OF thu
state. All will connect with existing
trunk lines and will be of gravel con
struction.
When completed nobody need com
plain that the White mountains, Win
nipesaukee and the other summer resorts
of the Granite state cannot be reached
over good roads.
This year New Hampshire will spenC
in the neighborhood of $500, 900 on it,
state highways. About $4,000 of tbi:
is used for maintenance of existing state
highways and the balance will go into
new construction.

Whether because the submarine cam
paign was practical failure, or on ac-
count of the protest aud the various
notes Of the United States, it seems to
be established that Germany has chang
ed her policy, and will no longer attack
unarmed merchant vessels by torpedo
without giving those on board an oppor-
tunity to escape. While our patience
has been sorely tried during the past
three months over this matter, and We
have several times seemed to be on the
verge of war, it is well 20 remember that
not all the lives and property which war
might have cost us would have restored
life to a single one of those who went
down with the Lusitania.

from the operation of the law only thea

One report from the Grand Army pa
rade in Washington is that as against
the 2OO, 900 men who marched fifty years
ago there were perhaps 10000. Another
report states that there were about
10000. Which indicates that country
fair crowd is not the only thing on which
estimators differ.
