AS suggested in the beginning the
problem that we have to solve is that
of providing ways and means of con-
structing good roads, But that is a
problem that will have to be worked
out by each community or State; and
the purpose of this article is to i'm
press upon the minds of the people
the necessity Of the construction of
good roads and the solution of the
building problem will come about as
a natural result.

"There is a tide in the affairs of

Which taken at its flood leads on
