NARROWER HIGHWAYS. 



The talk about conservation has led R. 

 Thompson, of Chicago, to calculate the loss 1 

 wide country roads. He figures that the lni.nl 

 of rural highways in ten middle western st, 

 as follows : 



Milei 



Minnesota - 



Wisconsin tln.m 



Michigan 



Iowa 70 



Kansas 70 



Nebraska 



Missouri 



Illinois 



Indiana 



Ohio 



Total 73 



Mr. Thompson finds that reducing by 3(1 fee 

 width of these public highways, which now a 

 age 66 feet leaving them still eight feet 

 than the highways of Prussia would give 

 to the farmers of these states for cultivation 

 and one-half million acres of general!} till: 

 land, which, at an average of $100 per 

 would mean the restoration to the pro 

 values of the states named of $350,000,000, 



"This sum has annual interest value of 

 .Vio.ooo, an amount which with great adva 

 might be recovered and if applied to the pr 

 scientific construction of roads in the I'n 

 States would in a few years give us the mos 

 tensive and finest country road system that 

 country has ever known." 



Putting the 30 feet on the other side of : 

 fences would tend to keep it cleaied of 

 There are thousands of farmers too !MIS\ or 

 lazy or too thoughtless to keep the weeds cle 

 off the space between their fences and the 

 part of the road. It becomes infest CM! 

 thistles and burdock and camomile and 

 vagrant growths an offense to the eye an 

 menace to the productivity of the farm. 



ST. CLAIR CANNOT VOTE ON 

 GOOD ROADS. 



The board of supervisors of St Clair con 

 has refused to submit the question of 

 the county road system to the voters this spri 

 Great influence was brought to bear on the 

 pervisors to submit the proposition but to 

 avail. The board ought to be called to aco> 

 by the people of St. Clair county when t 

 come up for re-election. We question the n 

 of the supervisors to refuse to allow the I 

 payers to decide such an important question. 

 is not the duty of the board of supervisors to p 

 upon any question which affects the whole con 

 and, which can be submitted to a vote of 

 oeople, without allowing the people to lie he; 

 The present condition of the roads in St. ( 

 county in the country is a fine illustration of ! 

 lack of serviceability.
