WHAT CAN BE DONE?
That a better condition of
the public roads would en¬
hance the value of real estate
to a large extent, and relieve
the drain upon man and beast
that are obliged to tr;ftel,com¬
mensurate with the improve¬
ment of the roads, is a self
evident fact, an axiom admit¬
ting of no argument and need¬
ing no proof. «
Then the following ques¬
tions naturally present them
st Ives to the thoughtful mind:
W-fth present conditions, and
under the existing road laws,
are we employing the means
available in the least possible
way? If not, how can we
improve our present system
of road working?
It is not the purpose of this
ai Fide to answer these ques
lions eonelusively, but only to
offer or “pass on” some sug¬
gestions, hoping that some
w ho arc much better prepared
to deal with this problem may
meet these ideas with approv
al or objection as seems prop
er, ami that they will offer
other and far better sngges
tions.
Some oue has already said,
retcriing to the writer: “lie
knows nothing of working the
roads, lie’s a lawyer," How
sadly true, and it would not
be so deplorable ii the writer
alone enjoyed the unenviable
distinction of being ignorant
ot how to work the roads
“There are others,’’and many
of these poor benighted ones
are still outside of the state
sanitarium for the insane, and
enjoy the happy portion of
living in the grand old county
of Murray.
It is not so much a matter
of knowledge stored away,
and wasted after all, as it is a
matter of learning from others
and applying it with good,
common, horse sense and
business judgement.
The district road commis¬
sioners are authorized by out¬
law to purchase tools and ma
terial of any kind they may
think best, and to hire
and teams upon the roads,
No leTriction upon them
cept that they must keep with
in their means, and that no
commissioner nor overect-i
can become directly or indi¬
rectly interested in any such
contract without bei- g guilty
of a misdemeanor.
Mr. S, F, Moss, one of the
commissioners for the town
district, has suggested that
several districts combine and
buy tiling to be put in the hol¬
lows or draws where little
branches cross the toads.
This seems plausible and very
practicable. As a rule these
are the vyorst places in our
roads, and if a good grade
tile were placed so as to carry
the water away, and filled in
two or three feet above with
dirt and rock from the hill on
either side, we would soon be
permantly rid of such bad pla
ces.
Theie are a number ot low,
level stretches where perhaps
nothing can be done but to
raise the road and give it a
heavy coat of rock, or
Some would suggest the is¬
suing of bond's by the county
to build pike roads, but it
seems to me that our county
hasn’t wealth enough yet to
render that plan efficient.
With our present tax values
it is possible for us to raise on¬
ly about $95,000, which would
not build but about twelve
miles of pike.
We have been advised that
a road grader or scrape can
be bought for $275. The ad
vent of one of these would
make the dawn of a happy era
inroad working in this coun
ty.
The grand jury made some
wise and timely recommenda¬
tions concerning roads and
road laws, but in the past, it
appeared to one up a bush like
the authorities avoided doiosr
w hat vva s re c o m m e n d ecl.
An act passed b> the as¬
sembly in 1898, amending
0 in¬ road law of ’<>6, and be
coming effective upon the ap¬
proval of the grand jury, would
not only give what the recent
jury desires as to commuta
tion tax, but it provides tor
the appointment of one over¬
seer in each district to be paid
$1.50 per day for his services.
It provides that such overseers
and commissioners < s handle
the road funds be placed un¬
der bond, and that they make
a tabulated report of all ex¬
penditures to the county. It
also establishes a board, con¬
sisting of one commissioner
from each district to meet
from time to time at the coun
ty site, and to be paid $ 2 .oo
oer day tor such services.

“In 1897 I had a stomach dis¬

pepsia, some consumption. One
said I would not live until Spring.
For four years 1 existed on boiled
milk, soda biscuits, and doctors’
prescriptions. I could not digest
anything 1 ate; then I picked up
one of your Almanacs and it bap
ened to he my life-saver. I bought
a fifty-cent bottle of Kodol and
