An Explanation

Our plan In having a 50-feet road
way is this: In the first place it en-
ables us TO get away from the farmers
fence on each side Of road five feet.
This protects his fence from caving
into the ditch and puts the grader
arms far enough away that they will
not injure his fence. This cuts the
actual roadway down to 40 feet. Then
it takes, on the agerage, @ feet on each
side of road to care for the drainage.
This cuts the actual roadway avail
able for traffic down to 2S feet and
permits driveways easily. one for
loaded wagons or traffic in the center !;
one ON each side for cars and vehicles
not loaded.
This, as l see it. will add much TO
the convenience and comfort of all
parties. The farmer with loaded
wagon on narrow road starts to
town, has gone only a short distance
till he hears honk from behind, and
there is nothing he can do but pull his
load out of the ruts and the usual
roadway, to permit the car TO pass.
He doesn't more than get back in the
road until another honk disturbs him,
and so 1t goes all the way to his destin-
alton. This is not only annoying to
the man with load but it is also an.
noying to the party driving the car.
But II is different on the wide road
The man with loaded wagon can take
the middle of the road, drive TO his
destination without being disturbed
The man in the car coming up behind
Is not embarrassed by having to dis
turb the loaded wagon but may pass
glibly ON the right. The man whom
they may meen has plenty of room tC
pass on the other side. Traffic has
been Increased already until this Is
needed. What win it be in five, tel
or twenty years?
Mr.. Editor, permit me TO say that
words will not express the gratitude
/ have in my heart for the splendid
spirit and words of commeDdation in
dicated In the many statements in youi
paper. Good folks, certainly thank
you. G.. w. Million.
