Now that the county road bonds have been voted, IN

and cheap construction Immediately imperative to make
roads merely passabe. In much of this work there will
be waste, but that is nseparabe from the system Of
false economy which seems be favored at this time
by the taxpayers The county board viii undoubtedly
try to fund sufficiently large to build few
miles of permanent road, that viii be starter the

At any rate It viii be possible now to block out a
complete system Of permanent roads for the county
program to be worked toward year by year, con-

Snow Carnival at Cloudcroft

that there would be difficulty in arranging special

It would probably not be practicable to open the

the end Of the summer season Water would prob
ably have to be hauled to the Lodge for ordinary do
nestle purposes and the plumbing and heating system
would be out OF commission.
For the same reason many Of the summer cottages
would be disable for lack Of water But this does
not apply TO the Pavilion to cottages in the lower
part of the settlement; does it apply to North

that has prevailed in the past shall be stopped.
The chief element in estimating the cost of a road
is not construction but maintenance The cosest road
to construct may be the cheapest the long run The
cost Of road should be figured out to cover at least
the whole period that the bonds to run It Is not
the first cost that is important but the total
Of maintenance, repair and rebuilding during the whole
term of the bonds.
With a comprehensive program once outlined, it
ought not be difficult obtain the sanction of
the taxpayers from time to time for reasonable bond
issues for construction The principle of paying
for maintenance and repair out of the proceeds of bond
issues is wrong every way, and be abandoned
too An annual road should be levied adequate
to take Of such items and bond issues used
permanent construction only By that It is not meant
to confne the term permanent" to paved roads only
for in parts of the county good graded roads with
out paving may be deemed permanent, in the sense
that they will be paved and are the best roads
the district command But all heavy traffic roads
should be paved as funds may become available.

Portable Some of the cottages in CoudcrOft would be
opened to visitors and doubt many cottage owners

It would not be hard to provide ample facilities for
meals. The kitchen in the Pavilion would be operated
and there already several dining and boarding
houses in North ClOudcroft These would be supple

The winter sports would include coasng and sleigh
ing SNOWFALL battles, skiing, skating and dancing.
There plenty Of fine long hills for the various snow
sports Fires might be built Of doors under suitable
restrictions to safeguard the forest
There IS reason why such carnival should not
become permanent annual institution. And there Is
why it should be limited local patronage
We sometimes forget that the people of eastern Texas
never see snow, and have idea what a mountain
winter is like. Possibly New Mexico and Arizona
might be interested in joining the winter sports It
would be jolly time indeed, and a welcome break in
the winter With everybody seemingly in favor Of it.

Will Cost More to Travel After
January First.

The Public Service Commits
sion at their session at Jeffer-
son City Saturday advanced the
passenger rates in this state from
2 cents a mile to 2 IL cents per
mile on one WY tickets and from
2 cents to 2 IA cents on round
"trip tickets.
The commission found the re-
duction in passenger rates from
3 to 2 cents per mile was not
offset by increases in traffic as
is indicated by the testimony OF
losses by the various lines since
the 2 cent rate went into effect.
1t is provided that each full
fare ticket may carry with it 100
pounds Of baggage and each
half fare ticket rs pounds. The
commission finds that the rate
on excess baggage should be Is
per cent of the 2 IL cent fare.
The. opinion readjusted the
grain rates by providing lower
rate on corn than applies on
wheat and also provides that the
rates on grain shall include tran
sit arrangements terminal allow
ances and the usual absorption OF
switching charges. These priv
ileges in connection with two or
more line rates prescribed with
result in advance on all grain
traffic moving under the new
rates of less than five per cent.
There are increases on some
Of the live stock rates and de-
creases on others. There is a
segregation of the rates on fur
niture and agricultural nipple
ments and an adjustment which,
while carrying some advance,
gives the Missouri jobber and
producer the advantage of then
geographical location.
