Shipping men believe that this in

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1919-07-07

All sections of the state ought to
be represented at the road meeting to
be held at Montpelier Thursday of
this week. No one knows exactly
what is to be done there but it is on
Iy by unceasing effort, agitation and
vigilance that we shall get road i'm
prcvement in Vermont. The state
ana most of the town are spending
more money than they are getting in
value, not because OF dishonesty but
because of poor planning and failure
to profit by past experience. The
road money available in this state
each year has gradually grown to be
magnificent sum. Increasing prices
of labor and machinery lessen the pro
duct in visible results but, after all,
the greatest hindrance to progress is
incompetence. Roads in the average
Vermont town are a fair reflection OF
the collective sentiment Of that town.
1t depend on sprawl more than on
money. A town can get precisely
what it goes after but it takes bold
ness and persistence instead of whin-
ing and vain regret. The meeting at
Montpelier Thursday may not blaze
the way to any heavenly highway but
it ought to help little in teaching us
a bit of progress. 1t is easy to chase
after false gods as the legislature did
on the road question last winter. Any
fool can learn from his own cruel ex-
perience but it takes a smart person
to control his own conceit and
stupidity enough to learn from the
experience of others.
