Poor Roads Cost Most

When the people can be made to
understand that it actually cost
more in time and money to travel
over a poor road than it does to
travel over good one, they will
be less inclined to begrude the ex-
pense of good roads, and what is
more important still, will be will
ling and anxious to put the busi-
ness of road making intothe hands
of intelligent men who understand
the business. Poor roads are the
expensive things that curse a
country district.
