left that we shall all be so tired that
peace should happen anyhow" the
horoscope says.

VERMONT ROADS AND HARD
ING'S IDEA OF FEDERAL AID

yermont's road problems are the
problems Of every other State north
Of the southern boundary Of Jack
Frost's domain. We are reminded OF
tits fact by the series Of illustrations
IN tie current issue Of "The American
City" depicting the ravages Of frost
upon the foundations Of all sorts of
roads including bituminous macadam,
vitrifed brick, concrete, reinforced
cement, gravel and plain dirt"
The lesson drawn is that which we
have sought TO emphasize time and
again, the necessity Of the proper
drainage Of the foundations, no mat
ter Of what material the surface is
eompc sed. When TO utter absence Of
sub-drainagc you add the entire lack
Of surface drainage, with the water
running in the middle Of the road in
transforms instead Of in bitches at the
side Of the driveway, as you will note
80 frequently, II you use your eyes on
Vermont roads, you have about the
least promising conditions possible for
"permanent roads"
When Vermont first adopted the
principle Of State read for road Inn
provcmcnt in the towns, not few
communities simply covered their
share Of the State fund into the town
treasury's general fund and went on
scraping any old soil upon the road
way as before, with no improvement
70 the roads whatever Later on the
law WIS changed so that the town cid
not receive its quota unless II con-
structed what was then regarded as
improved roadway We are still sadly
remiss in this connection, however.
The time will come when Vermont
will insist upon proper drainage Of
roads is ono Of the various requisites
to enable any town to secure its share
Of the proceeds Of the State highway
tax. Farmers who fully appreciate
tie necessity Of draining their farms
can be found who apparently do not
realize the necessity of drainage Of
ro,ds past or through their farms,
else they would make a fuss about il
and start something. Nor are the
rural communities alone AZ fault.
Burlington and every other city can
show roads with no drainage what
ever.
II ought not to be necessary, how
ever, to pass a law compelling towns
20 see that their roads are properly
drained. Plain common sense, II not
appreciation Of the demands Of econ
omy and thrift. would seem 70 point
the way TO the adoption q sound pr.n-
ciples IN road building and maipten-
anoe. We confidently expect TO See
radical change brough; about in this
direction under the new road manage
ment in Vermont Every taxpayer
has the right and duty to demand
road drainage in his community, or
know the reason Why i is not forth
coming.
II d 10 b. feared that we are al
showing the danger n p2uperiz2tion
