GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Orlalaafret In New Jrrirf Were Thaw
Thirty tears .
The great movement for Improved
road In the I'nlted Stales originated.
It Is generally believed, In Ecx conn
ty, N. J., more than 3d years ago. Some
progressive men in the board of free
holders ooucelviil the Idea of building
system of hard roads by the nuic
lani process, ami a special act was
passed constituting a road board. The
bulk of the cost was assessed tiimti the
county at large and was provided for
In the anmiiil taxes. Newark paid
four-fifths of this tax. There was
much opposition and constant protest.
but the work went resolutely on .
The good results soon became evi
dent. K.ist Orange, Montchilr and oth
er subttM's attracted the liest class of
population, and handsome houses went
up by the hundreds, while property
price enormously ln Tensed. The
roads built were of excellent workman
ship and excited the wonder and a-1
miration of strangers who drove over
them. I'nlon county snlweqtiontly pro
cured law for county aid to road
building, auj tbe woik was prosecuted
there With the ituuie eii'-iy and good
rmult. This led to the euaettuent of
the Uiw for ti:te aid. under which hun

county's share of the cost.

Since the good rmds movement was
lHgun the state and counties of New
Jersey have spent $2,U7.478 In Improv

last have completed 4rjl'-i mile of
road. The state and counties of Mas
sachusetts during the same period ex-
pended -.C!7..'l'. and built more than
mill's of road, which, according to
Mr. Meiulcnhnll, Is as perfect a any

MILLIONS FOR ROADS.

National la Scone.
The announcement that a bill had
been presented to congress on behalf
of the League of American Wheelmen
asking for an appropriation of S,",00,-
(XK) for good roads marked the begin
ning of the good roads agitation as a
national movement. Heretofore con-
lined to the states. It I now In a fair
way to become of national Importance
and nute'he, ns predicted by ninny of
the good road -4 enthusiasts, to lieeome I
national xiliticnl Issue.
Already there arc some who say that
such no appropriation is not feasible
Hid that there are small chances of the
bill becoming a law. It may be new
to this class to know that nil the ma
chinery of the league has lieen at work
an tills bill for the past six months,
md every feature of It has been most
arefully considered. It Is now thought
in appropriate time to introduce It,
mil from now on every effoit will be
made to secure Its passage. The meth
ods to be employed in its behalf have
been part of the Investigations of the
national plllcers of the league, and the
eampnlgn outlined will lie carefully
mil enthusiastically carried out.
As for the merits of the bill, there
an be no question. It Is a recognized
fnct now t Hit t good highway are an
conomical necessity. In which this
eotmtry Is centuries Islilnd Europe.
That such a bill will receive an extend

Good Roads la Other C'oontrlr.
There ore, ii Is estimated, 3tlO,tXiO
miles of highway In the l.'nited Plates,
tliout 10 per cent of the roads of all
tho world. Omit Britain has 120,000
miles of roadways, and these are some
if the best In the world. Germany ha
27r,00 miles of roads, and some of
hem are as poor as the roadways of a
proot country can be. France, which
ha taken an enlightened view of the
good roads question for many rear
md has spent by governmental or local
nithority more than 1.000,000,000 on
