The building of poor roads cost
more than good ones, for the reason
that they will not last. / fear the
gravel road from Hope Villa to the
parish line is in that category, all on
account of the imperfect grading of
the roadbed, deficient drainage and,
worse of all, insufficient gravel. A
spread of 6 inches is not enough, it
should be at least 10 or II inches.
Percy Saint in his speech at Jean
erette on the subject of good roads,
said: "We are building syn Louisi-
ana a huge, topheavy superstructure
upon a weak foundation. Good
roads? Certainly! Have 'em by all
means" With the completion Of the
roads there will arise the question
Of their maintenance. It will require
proper attention to repair. With
makeshift construct ion they will have
to be renade in a few years. l
