Mr.. EDIroRs:-Ifyou will be SO kind
as to permit me to make a few sugges-
lions on Road matters, through your col
umns, | viii agree todo so. As we all have
a common interest in Roads, 1 will sug
gest the expediency of Supervisors com
mcncing their labor as soon in the Spring
as Farmers are through planting, for
that is the time when the roads generally
need repairing, and the Farmer can per-
form his labor then with the least incon.
venience to himself. The ground would
then be in the best condition for blowing
and scraping, and it would afford for
time the roads to settle, that arc turn.
piked or thown up, before they would
freeze again.


have been informed that in addition
to the twod days poll.tax there is a proper
ty tax oftwenty cents on every hundred
dollars worth of taxable property, in the
county. / do believe that in most of the
road Districts, the resident-tax is snffi.
ciens to make the roads good, and in the
thinly settled districts, the nonresident
tax would be sufficient to make the main
roads passable. believe the road Law,
authorizes Supervisors to hire teams to do
the hauling, blowing, and scraping, and
to contract for materials to build bridges
&C., out ofthe labor, or tax due their re-
spective districts; and it further makes it
their duty, to make returns to the county
Clerk, By the first of January annually,
SO that the balance of road tax could be
put in the hands ofthe Collector, for col.
lection.


If Supervisors will do their duties, and
see that the resident tax is paid, or work
ed out; and ifthe Collector, collects the
nonresident tax, the road fund would be
sufficient TO make most of our raods
good. IfFarmers, Teamsters, and al
concerned in roads, will take little in.
terest the matter, we will have good
roads.
