Bibb Conntv Roads.
Editor a Ttteqnlph and Jfwnenjrer :—
The people of Bibb have long prided
themselves on the excellence of their
conuty roads. Considering wliat our
roads used to be and what the average
reads of Georgia are now, It must be
granted that this pride lias some founds
lion. But the fact that. we have made
some progress ia no reason why we should
not attempt to progress still further. Pub
lic highways, from their very nature, are
susceptible of indefinite improvement.
That our roads are in quite a primitive
state will readily appear if they are com
pared with those of some sections of the
country.
A large number of roads in the county
ate not worked at all. The chain gau^
is not large enough to work all the roads
and the comity authorities Lave very wise
ly confined their attention to those that
are of most general importance. This is
doing approximate justice. Manifestly
tho next best thing to working every roai
Is to work those roads In which the great
est number are interested. “The greatest
good to tbe greatest number,” is the max
im acted upon.
Again, eveu the roads that are worked,
are not gone over frequently enough by
tho road force. Nobody is to blaain for
this, but it is nevertheless a fact. Tlie
road commissioners have a certain
order which is followed In the working
of the roads. Each road has to await its
turn. In tbe observance of this order a
given road is not worked ofteuer I believe
titan once a year. It may be worked less
frequently than that. It is impossi
ble that one working, however thoroughly
done, could •counteract tho washing effect
of a winter’s ram and the wear and tear
of twelvemonths’ (ravel.
In short, even those roads that the au
thorities pretend to work, are very f
foctly worked. 1 speak not of tlie j
of tho work, blit of its Humility. Ii 1
ceded hy all that the present superinten
dent of tbe road force Is the right man in
the right place. He understands hir busi
ness; and with tlie force at his command,
ami iu the time allowed film, he does the
best that could be done. , j
Summing up what precedes; wo find
imany roads in the comity me en
tirely neglected, and that those, which do
receive attention are but imperfectly at
tended to.
Is there aiiy system within reach by
which all our roads may be worked, and
each particular road more frequently
worked? That is a problem to be consid
ered by the people of Bibb. I submit two
suggestions, either one or both of which
might bo adopted:
1. Increase the road fores. As now or
ganized, it consists entirely of convicts
sentenced In this county. Our county au
thorities might be able to secure, for a
nominal sum, convicts sentenced in other
counties. Or they might employ an aux
iliary hired force—the convict force and
the hired force both to be under the same
superintendent. Tills would, of course,
involve an additional outlay of money;
but tbe expenditure might he a most ju
dicious and profitable one. The question
might be asked, “Can a people afford to
slight their public highways?”
2. Let the road force give their whole
time to tho county roads Instead of work
ing half the year In the city, as is now
done. There it no occasion for any feel
ing of rivalry or jealousy between the city
and county authorities ou this subject.
The city and county are too nearly iden
tified in interest for that. It is quite clear
that the road force cannot satisfactorily
work the county roads and the city streets
both. To attempt both is to fill to do ei
ther as it should he done. Such being the
case, I believe the city on a whole would
be more benefited by tbe chain gang
spending all the year iu tlie country.
Doing ornamental work ou the streets
of Macun, It Is true, is very desirable, and
perhaps enhances the value of property
along the particular streets worked. But
do the time and labor thus expended ben
efit the city as much a3 if bestowed upon
tlie boggy and wagon-worn roa J3 of tbo
county? Tlie country surrounding Ma
con is directly tributary to Macon. Ail
t’ni) network of roads penetrating this
country are so many arteries contributing
to the growth and ultimate prosperity of
Macon. Let all these roads be put Into
tho best possible condition, and Macon
would at once feel the result. Whatever
facilitates transportation to market cheap
ens every commodity concerned. It does
more; it increases production by stimulat
ing trade.
Farmers will not hajtl their wood and
com and produce of every kind to market
if tho expense of transportation overbal
ances the profit. Injury to stock, wear
andtearof vehicles and the time con
sumed, all enter into tho cost of transpor
tation. It is very easy to see how materi
ally this cost is affected by the state of the
roads. Were the cost of hauling less than
it is, the single item of wood might be re
duced to one-half its present value. In a
word, whatever opens up tlie surrounding
country and develops its latent or unim
proved resources, draws trade to Macon,
besides cheapening tbo necessaries ol life;
and I believe that tho roads force could
iu no way belter promoto the permanent
and ultimate prosperity of Macon than by
giving their whole time to the roads lead
ing into Macon.
There is another topic which I barely
have space lo mention. I have said that
tlie road force could very profitably be
employed all their time ou the county
roads already established. But new roads
might be opened with great advantage in
places where none now exist, and would
be opened but for the fact that tho road
force is inadequate to worK those already
in existence, in the allotted time.
A good road through the river swamp
below tho city, passable at ail seasons of
the year, would be of incalculable benefit
to Macon. It is difficult to see how this
swamp road can ever be built without
slighting old much-traveled highways or
the county, unless either the road forco is
augmented, or the time spent outside the
city is greatly Increased. Yox.
