Show JUAB COUNTY TIMES, NEPHI. UTAH. GOOD UTAH ROADS PROBLEMS STATES MANY IN .Farmer Is Interested Only In General Improvement of Every Foot of Public Thoroughfare!. There are complex problems to b states before the most efficient expenditure of money by states and communities for roads can be secured. It seems that politicians and the business men of the cities are unanimously in favor of putting up highways at ross the state, or particihighway pating in the movement, when getting up schemes for roud Improvement. They display a grent lark of knowledge on their lart for the needs of a busy farmer. It's not a traiiMcontlnental highway; tior a stxfe highway, nor a rock road acroHS the local county that we are ori'ly in deed of, but a general of every foot of public highway of the different counties. It is estimuted that $7,000,000 are Hent on the rouds of Illinois every ; ear, and of this amount surely half is wiiKted. The trouble beglnn with the clectiou of the road commissioners, who get thrlr ofllccs politically, and ttotneUmes without regurd to their fitness for the respective ofllce they seek, writes Henry il. Smith of McLean county, Illinois, In Farmer's Review. Tlu-there is the defective work turned out by the roud laborers, llow many limes have we seen bridges that represented the pote's money, swung down the stream by overflows? The state realizes a serious loos from this condition of affairs warn a pood mixture of concrete and steelwork, planned by a competent would have made a structure to withstand the storms for many years to come. The road Itself must le worked In the right way, or the i:ne task will necessitate more labor with additional ex pen ho the following mmkoii. AIno, there Is another leak J:i the road tax money, yet it Is hardly a reason In Itself, as it always defends upon the character and capabilities of the road commissioner. One writer has suggested that If the county should buy several carloads of gravel, broken rock, cinders, etc., taxing each man to haul one load per jenr. judiciously distributing It upon the highways, that In a few years our roads would all be rock roads. The practicability of this scheme Is yet to bo looked Into. However, we know that If the highways were graded and worked up proiierly, and the travel pplld. the farmers of the vicinities rould haul heavy load of corn and hay to market In midwinter without experiencing the fear of being stuck. Spring is the best time to work roads. Ours are worked when the soli la damp. In order that the soil will haVe as it dries out. thus making the road hard and compact, but there are always a few hours' work needed here and there on the average highway, culverts to be repaired, mud hole filled up. etc The pleasure of driving over good roads should In Itself be a compensation to the farmer for his efforts in making lhe-- so, not to speak of the olved In many ocean-to-ocea- n hard-earne- d n Good Road in Mississippi. value It adds on to the price of bis landfarms will make stood counties; good counties make flourishing states, and flourishing jrta'es tnake an Independent cation.
