The sentiment in favor of there j
(luction of the width of highways l'roin |
sixty to forty feet appears to be be 1
coming quite general. Petitions from
landowners in the different states, we
learn, are being made to the highway
commissioners to this effect. The
claim made is that too inui-h land is
allowed to grow up to weeds by hav
ing the road so wide, as the extra tell
feet could lie well utiil/.eil if taken into
the farm. It is claimed also that by
narrowing the legal width of highways
a better road can be built and more
easily kept in good condition.
Ilnil limit! Hnlldlnw.
A road engineer puts it this way:
"There ought to lie a law to stop fool*
building highways. This Idea that the
outer edge of a highway sod. dirt and
stone, all should be thrown Into the
center of the road ought to entitle the
people who do ft to Uit"'ty days ill I
