Vermont S Road Problem.
ORLEANS County Monitor. J

The Monitor is convinced that MANY
of those persons who are discussing
the Vermont road problem, or to be
more exact, are knocking the present
system, have no substitute system or
plan to offer that looks like a real and
lasting improvement over the oae now
in vogue
Certain persons or interests seem to
have taken it upon themselves to
take the public platform in order to
agitate some great changes in our road
policy without knowing that the
change would be beneficial. The same
interests are trying to get into the
press.
For example the New England Mo
tor1st, volume one, number three vol
ume one of any publication is always
suspicious), takes a tumble out of our
present system and closes with this
paragraph:
of Vermont with its beautiful
scenery and native hospitality ever
comes TO realize the great advantage
of building roads that are good u
months out of the year, the trcmen-
dous gain both socially and economi.
| eally VIII aston1sh the present advo-
Gates of good roads beyond their fond
est expectations.
The criticism of our road system be
cause Vermont does not have good
highways y months in the year shows
| utter lack OF knowledge of conditions
l hprp n n ohcnlpta 1,crof,arl 60
| Speaking from motorist s standpoint
there is no possibility of having good
roads in Vermont for more than six
months in the year. Perhaps no state
IN the union has a greater road prob
lem than Vermont.
| Look at the winter road expenses of
| any town IN the state this year and we
will begin to understand why Vermont
summer roads do not show in every re-
spect the same result for dollar
raised in taxes that some other states
/ show. Our winter road expense is
enormous and in the sense of deriving
q lasting benefit from this expcns, we
do not. We cannot. Tens of thou
sands Of dollars are spent in making
wiAter roads passable that most other
states in the union do not have to
spend. And our winter roads are none
too good. IN fact, this season, despite
the great cost of winter roads. it has
been impossible to keep our highways
good.
The very fact too, that Vermont has
this extreme weather makes the road
problem here 4 problem unto itself
and hardly comparable with the road
problem Of any other state. The havoc
wrought by frost cannot be conceived
by the road men of other states and
the cost oceasioned b. it may not al
ways be taken into consideration il,
counting results with a given sum Of
money.
The Monitor is not defending tbs
present road system, either, but it ear
see where some would-be agitatort
know little about the subject.

above in the New England Notorist
We find this paragraph:
ermont, up to January l, 1916,
had built by state aid 1881 miles of
the $4,000 miles Of roads in the state.
New Hampshire had built 1,l76 miles
of the $4,000 miles in the state, but il
is much easier to find New Hamp-
shire s surfaced roads than those in
Vermont
Well, it ought to be. New Hamp-
shire has 100000 road debt where
Vermont has none, and as for the writer,
who does several thousand miles OF
touring over Vermont and New Hamp-
shire roads every year. there is not
100000 difference. New Hampshire
roads are wearing cut very fast. in
fact, some of them even now are far
from good surfaced roads. New Ramp-
shire is not entirely satisfied with her
system. New York is grooming under
her road problem and while Vermont
has not the fine boulevards boasted by
both states in many places. Vermont
has some fine roads and they are i'm
proving every year
Our system is far from perfect no
doubt, and improvements are being
made, but the Monitor, for one be
heves the state should GO extremely
slow in changing her whole system of
road building. Probably more state
controlled mileage would be to the ad-
vantage of all but the Monitor be-
lieves we should look into the question
very carefully before Harvesting our
selves to some policy or system of road
building that has not yet proven it.
self satisfactory or adequate Traffic
conditions are changing so rapidly
that there is scarcely road surface to-
day that has proved itself equal to
the test.
Let US keep on improving, grading,
draining, surfacing with the best ma
, terial at hand, and paying our bills as
we 90 until there is some recognized
system and road surface that recon-
mends itself to the great majority as
the permanent answer to our road
J troubles. Then let Vermont construct
that kind of road and issue bonds, but
while others are cropping in the dark
for road policies and road making ma
terials, we may as well grope in our
own way.
| In the meantime let US have more at
tention to maintenance. The mending
of the little troubles while they are
little. The constant attention and re-
pair that will keep the average road
comfortable to travel upon.

WILSON SPEEDS UP CONGRESS-
Administration Leaders Glad to See
"Beginning Of the End"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-President
Wilson is finally applying the lash"
and attempting to speed up congress
to avoid an extra session, prominent
senators said today. Administration
leaders are glad to see the beginning
of the end. They are becoming impa-
tient over the leak investigation, and
say the probe prevents congress from
conducting more serious business.
Many members believe congress has
time to pass the necessary appropria-
ton bills, conclude the program and
end the present session within the re-
ouired period.
If sufficient of the presidents rec
concentrations are passed, it is prac-
tically certain that an extra session
will not be called this year. The pres
ident will insist that the vital ele-
ments Of the proposed railroad leg
islation be included in the business
to be finished before adjournment.
