AS BEAUTiFIERS
Tho most popular question boforo
tho American pcoplo to-day Is tlio
problem of building l)ettor roads.
During tlie past 'few years, In almost
every community In botb tho metro
politan and rural districts tliero lias
been developed a manifest deslro to
"get out of the mud." Natural con
ditions contingent upon municipal
environment compel tho building of
sewers and permanent pavements for
sanitary as well as other reasons In
cities and large towns. In the rural
district, tho autotnobllo and the per
manent roadway mako a combina
tion that, figuratively speaking, anni
hilates distance and brings together
both ends of a long road. Tho uso
of tho passenger elevator In large
buildings made possible tho Masonic
Temple in Chicago! just so the uso
of tho automobile on a parmancnt
roadway would make the broad ex
panse of western Kansas prairies
partake somewhat of the nature of
suburbs of Kansas City. Nobody
knows this better than tho dwellers
of tho rural districts, for it is said
in Kansas that CS per cent, of the
automobiles owned In the state be
long to farmers.
The use of the automobile has not
spread to that percentage among tho
farmers in Wayne county, but not
withstanding their apparent scarcity
in tho rural districts, better roads are
being obtained. Within a few years
tho country districts will have tho
best roads In the state. It will not
only enhance the value of the farms
adjacent to these roads but will bo
tho means of developing Wnyno
county.
Honesdale, a town that has been
on the map since tho days of the
turning of the wheels of the first
locomotive in America, which oc
curred here S3 years ago, still has
dirt roads. This old town has finally
derided that a brick or block pave
will bo the making of it, consequent
ly its active Hoard of Trade,
through the Street and Highway
committee, has recommendod this
Improvement to tho town council.
Main street of Honcsdalo Is tho
principal thoroughfnro of tho town.
All of tho heavy truckage passes
over It and the necessity for a moro
solid road Is apparent. During tho
business hours of a tiny an averago
of 20 vehicles pass a given point
every minute which Is moro than on
Lackawanna avenue In the city of
Scranton. It Is therefore evident
that something more substantial
than dirt should constttuto tho road.
Tho borough's statement shows
that during tho past t'hreo years
from ?9,000 to 510,000 have been
expended for cracked stone, cart
age, labor and machinery used In
tho construction and repair of same.
Hesldes this other amounts have
been spent year after year since tho
time of laying out tho town. What
might have been accomplished?
Simply that for tho monoy paid out,
every street In' the borough of Hones
dale. Texas township Included, could
have been paved with brick. There
Is no reason why Honesdale cannot
have paved streets like other towns,
many of which are smaller in size
than the homo town.
There Is no need for tearing up
tho street If new pipes wero laid
from tho water main to tho curb be
fore, which would necessitate an ex
pense of about 510 or less. This dlf
Acuity might be overcome entirely
by laying a lead pipe, which might
cost a little more tian galvanized
iron, but when laid would last a life
time, as it does not corrode.
Tho Citizen earnestly endorses tho
action of tho Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade In accepting the
Street and Highway committee's re
port recommending that Main street
be paved. This paper is always in
favor of civic improvements and that
which stands for the progress, ad
vancement and development of
Honesdale.
The petition will next bo present
ed to the council by tho Highway
committee of tho Hoard of Trade.
