The most natural system to follo in roatt- building Is to begin the ir pro'venient in the city, or village, wor' ing outward in the different directioi on the lines of least resistance, but all times striving to reach the greate..i population and the heaviest traffile. The work should be placed in chari, of a man who understands road built Ing and road repair. This statemc i Is equally true whether there Oe mnu or little mnney.available for the wor The system which permits the appolv ment of men as road supiervisors i gardless of their fitness for the po. tion is accountable in a great measr for poor roads and for the feeble terest taken in road improveme, Probably there is no more roiid wo: in many counties than could be sup' intended by one man, and that m-. could be selected with an eye to h ' qualifleations for the work to 'be do.' which would result not only in bet roads, but also in greater efficie - and economy. Such a system previ' 1i in many of the older States of -.1w Union, and it has been suggested t) it might .prove most desirable in t section under our conditions. 'The use of improved labor-sav machinery in the buildin- and rep: of the common highways no do." would result advantageously to : i concerned. To illustrate: If a I, chine were devised whereby two w., a and four teams with the machi could perform as much of a gi' kind of work in a day as ten men com: perform in the same time with tea. and the old slip scrapers, It is evid that the purchase and use of sucl. machine, provided, however, that price was not exorbita.nt, would most desirable and would result much economy. Furthermore, if the same time, with such a mach. (he work could be done infinitely ter, it would seem to be the heigh folly not to invest in one. The mot road grader is just .such a 'mach. a The road grader has heconu so popi in most of the older Slates to-day 1 the old sll) scrap~er Is seldom s and when it does aippear it Is 1 only in c'orners where the gynader< not reach the work.
