'The State In this present ciisls must

their hands to make u rtbourretul and

program must bo carried on, not In U
plcayunlsh way or not as a polltlcil
favor, but an n political right for the
people. I see that the present road law
has been criticized by the Highway
Commissioner because It Includes too
many miles of road.
"I do not think it Includes enough
and I villi resist any effort to turn back
upon the townships any or tho mileage
now Included In the road plan. As the

the boroughs and townships may have
