The R. F. D. carriers talk about
its excellence, and nobody knows
more about roads or is more inter-
ested in them than R. F. D. men.
This road, built . last spring, is de
clared to be as hard and smooth as
" a race track, and to be a stretch of
highway that is worth a toll to
drive over it. It is two miles in
. length, and in all parts is very com
plete. In building it, a layer of
dirt was thrown up by the grader
and then it was well rolled. . An
other layer was then thrown up and
the roller again applied. The pro
cess was kept up until the desired
heighth of grade was attained,
when there was a very efficient
rolling, the result of all of which is
that the road is hard and durable,
and destined when gravel or rock
is added, to be as fine a stretch of
road as there is in the county,
