Compare Conditions Carefully. Misrepresentation makes mischief. Care should be exercised in making comparisons. Statements have been made that some States are paying $2000 a mile for good roads, while other States pay 810,000 for abont the same thing. As a matter of fact, the roads are very unlike, and differently built. First-class, permanent stone roads, well drained and properly graded, are likely to cost very mnech nearer the latter fignre than the for- mer. —L. A. W. Balletin. Different Forms of Pavement. There is no one varisty of pavement suited to all degrees and forms of traf- fie, says the Manicipal World “‘Granite block pavement is the most durable which can be constructed, re- quires but little repair and is well 1 to steep grades, but is rongh, noisy and trying on the hoofs of horses. Asphalt is a very smooth and Gl as are available, together wi® thnde which may be secured from the State, and ‘‘every county shall an- anally levy a roed tax of not less than fifteen cents, nor more than thirty cents, on every one hundred dollars of the value of the property, real and personal, assessed for taxes in the county, the pr roceeds to be applied to road improvements in said county.” Cost of Fad Koad Yeanspartation.
