Last week when Governor Brumbaugh and party of tourists passed through Chambersburg on their way west through this county, Mr. Brumbaugh tacked up a sign at th e Southern end of the Chambersburg and Shippens burg turnpike, announcing that travelers should not pay toll as the State had taken over that road. It caused rejoicing in that section as it did when the pike through this county was freed in 1913. Toll roads are going and better living conditions in the country are coming. Did you ever close your eyes and try to picture conditions after we get good roads all over the country? When that day comes we will have fast autobuses rurning be tween every postofTke in the County. They will correspond in our hilly county to electric railroads elsewhere. They will be patronized freely. From the day that the first autobus offered reliable transportation between McConnellsburg and -Chambers burg, patronage increased and we can now go comfortably to Franklin county several times during the day if we wish. We are sure that if a good, hard, smooth road led from Harrison ville to Needmore, a daily auto bus line from Needmore to Mc Connellsburg would at once fel low. By charging a reasonable fare between local points a big business would result because other short lines would be sure to become feeders. Our people want to travel they prove it by their patronage of private autos everywhere. What a great day for the advancement of social, religious, and business interests when we make all roads safe and speedy for autobuses? The pass ing of toll roads marked the be ginning of good roads system everywhere.
