ROAD WORK IS GOOD.
To the Editor of The Courier:
Sir: 1 have read statements from
time to time in favor of and against
' the work done on our public highway
, -
j here the past season. I am writing
as a citizen and farmer, who does
probably as much teaming on the
1 road as any other man In my position
and I want to state that there Is a
decided difference in the road Irom
past seasons and from other roads
that have not had their share of work
yet. I don't see in any instance
where the work could have teen bet
tered when the amount of money
used and the lateness of the season
In which tne wonc was aone is iaKen
info consideration, it is irue me
grevel is too thin, particularly In
some places, but It will answer for
the present and will n ke a perma
nent foundation to work on and in
due time can be re-covered with grav.
el. The grading is especially good
and the cross dra'ns are good, taking
away the water that has usually stood
In or run down wagon ruts.
I am In favor of letting this road
rest and taking up a more deserving
strip. I favor good road work and
better roads, and if we can't have the
best, tave the best we can and only
lsh all the highways in the county
were as good as this one.
