if Texas had good roads the farmers

be able to save $2,700,000 a year oil

are not prepared to vouch for the
accuracy of the tigurcs, wc hav.e no
doubt that the saving t-o the Texas
farmers would be large, and in a few
years would amount to enough to
provide the whole state with a
system of scientifically built and
permanently improved highways.

true of Georgia. Our country roads
