would be cheaper and better to make
that little extention to accommodate
several hundred people than to fight
against It year after year-thereby

probably having to do the job in the
end anyway. There is bill before
the legislature to put such extensions
under the jurisdiction of the public

Anybody can curse the roads we

cally everybody does who is OLD
enough to talk. These roads have
cost the taxpayers OF the town of Ben
nington somewhere around a million
dollars during the past fifty years
and today are little more than streaks
OF stony ruts. Sometimes they are
muddy and sometimes dusty and they
are always bad During these past
fifty years we have worked under
practically the same system. We
have elected or appointed local road
commissioners who have spent the
money without much supervision or
audit and generally about as they saw
fit. AS rule they have done the
best they could without training or ex
pert advice and are not to be blamed
