S.O. jt THURSDAY, MARCH 19. 1903. rV. . TtiT-i T~ r-a a yThe Public Roads. From all sections come vociferous rf, complaints as to the condition of the public highways of the county. I&ny people say?and we do not doubt the truth of the assertion? that the roads are in a worse plight generally than they have been for ten or even twenty years. This condition is particularly hard on the farmers who have to haul fertilizers and 1t -is perfectly natural that there should be some strenuous . "kicking" among them. At the same time we believe-that the cou. dition so much complained of will " 11 " nni<man<int eventually result m I good. More forcibly than ever before our people have it brought lome to them that good roads are an imperative necessity, without whicli no great material or industrial progress can be made, and this realbation has brought about an agitation that will not allow the matter to be settled until it is settled right. 7 The present road law is, we believe, generally familiar to the public. At the session before the last the Legislature enacted a new "road " whirh nrovided for a one null MW| ? r levy and a commutation tax of one dollar in lieu of a jnaximum of eight days work on the public roads. The ' last Legislature amended this law so as to fix the commutation tax at from one to three dollars and the equivalent in w.ork from three to x eight days at the discretion of the county supervisor. Kfjv 5 h. Under the present law the supervisor estimates that the road fund from all sources will amount to between $6,000 and $7,000.*While it is evident.that this small sum is inadequate to put the highways in anything like perfect condition, yet we should remember that Rome was not bnilt in a day nor the many roads that led td ft Under the law as amended the supervisor will have the right next year to recommend that the commutation tax be increased to two or even three dollars, which eneonraires ns to believe that the time w -9' is near at hand when this most important matter will be given the earnest and serious attention that it demands. The present road fund should suffice to make the roads passable, but it cannot be expected to do much more, even with the assistance of the chaingang. But next year with a fund of say $10,000 to $12, 000, if the roads be worked intelligently this year, much more can be done. Supervisor Graham and, in fact, the whole board seem thoroughly vtr. alive to the situation and to have " their whole hearts in the work that it before them. If they fail to iiu prove the roads so as to meet the expectations of the public we feel confident that it will be the fault of the law in not providing for sufficient funds to accomplish the necessary, work. In our judgment the roads will never he put in a satisfactory condition.enough niotiev is raised by 4l>/! /./.iinfv Unf if tuices (>W1IUIJ1?^ HIV VVUUIM * , V--.Vtime to do this. Meantime it tiehooves us to take what wo hare anil1 make the best of it. Give the new system a fa'r trial and don't condemn it in advance. COUNTY BD. OF EQUALIZATION. Capt. W. R.
