Editor Lancaster News:
The county road question is a
big thing, ana it is getting to be
the talk of the day. It is being
discussed much more in some '
localities than the subject of the 1
various county candidates.
Strange to say, every fellow has ,
his own ideas about it, and 1
nearly all differ. Some think
that the money collected for road
tax in each township ought to
work the roads in saiH tnwnahin
or in other words, let each township
work and build its own
roads. Otlieis think differently.
I think the proper way would
be to distribute enough money
on said old roads to keep them
patched up and passable, or in
as good fix, or better, till the
new roads cau be completed, and
the remainder of all proceeds be
expended in building the new
roads. And the work on the
new roads to commence at the
court house, and work all direc
tions, building the most traveled
roads first from three to five 1
miles, then anofch?r marl Mbo.
wise, etc., aud this kept up in
all directions until the county or
state line is reached, which will
not likely be finished in several
years to come, unless we devise
some plan to build roads faster
than other counties have beeu
doiug. Union county, N. C.,
with her years' hard work, has
not reached the township line
on all her public roads. Meckleuburg
county, N. C., with still
more years of arduous work, has
reached her county line in but
few places. So you see it will
be a long time before our roads
are completed. It is no small
job to build roads, and build
tK.? . 1
lucni ngm, ana oi course we
ought uot to think of anything
less than to finish them firstclass.
And to do this, I predict
that our children will complete
the roads, unless we issue bonds
on top of what revenue will be
collected under the present road
law.
I find that many of our people
are very much dissatisfied with
the present road law, or rather
with the workings ot it. They
think the mileage could have
been obtained much cheaper
than the way that it is being had.
Any common surveyor could
have measured 80 chains along
the roads and stuck up a board
to mark the mile, from which to

engineer's expenses per annum.
The directions of the roads and
9cale of miles can be very easily
had from the Government soil
survey of Lancaster county,1904.
Yes, the people think a part of
this expense could have been
saved, and when the time was
ready to commence building the
new roads, then employ the
engineer, and not before then.
Great many people think that
there is something wrong about
the road law; and if so, 'tis a
great pity that our lawmakers
did not go to Mecklenburg counf

had told one of the old fighters that the

I think our people would will,
iugly accept them Now, when
the work on the new roads commence,
if there is any money
left to commence with, I think
ihe new road should follow the
old roads as much as possible
where it is expedient to do so.
But to follow the old roads any
and everywhere would be en
tirely out of the question, l'he
first tiling then to do would be
to amend the law so the engiueer
could locate said roads at
the proper place,where they can
be built at cheapest expense lor
the county, giving the road commissioners
the power to condemn
the right of way and pay the
owner the worth ol his lands it
tie should make charge. Hut I
do not think any or many good
citizens would charge for the
right of way, knowing that the
road completed through his lands
would make them only the more
valuable. When the roads are
completed they ought to be broad
enough for two tracks, one macadam
and the other dirt. Now,
as I said before, it will be impossible
to follow the old roads any
and everywhere, and especially
in the hilly parts of the county,
but to curve around the hills
and up the hollows or down
them, as the case may be, with
a gradual ascension and desconsion
in locating these new road
beds, which when completed
will be permanent and stand for
all time. And by thus doing
there can be thousands and
thousands ol dollars saved lor
the county. On the other hand,
to follow the old road beds all
the way the county might lose
thousands and thousands of dollars.
This is no small item to
think about.
Land survovors lav off the new
roads in Union county, N. (J.
The engineer that surveys out
and locates the new roads in
Mecklenburg, N. C., has three
counties that he is engineer for.
And our people thing it is plenty
time to employ an engineer
when we get ready to build the
new roads, and then only as lie
is needed. They are not satisfied
with the way their tax money
is being paid out, or especially
so much ot it in measuring these
old roads, because they do not
think it necessary to map them.
