J. I. STEWABTONEOOD ROADS
J. A. Stewart of Benchley was la
the city today and reported the people
In that neighborhood very busy. Dunn
& Newton have about completed their
new quarters.
In reference to the roads Mr. Stew
art said that they were rough at pres
ent but were being dragged contin
ually and would soon Improve.
He said that he hoped to see some
thing done to better them and would
heartily support a bond issue for good
roads.
Mr. Stewart said that it was his
opinion that until the county could af-
ford to put in gravel or shell high-
ways the dirt roads should be put la
shape. At present our dirt roads are
not on an average of 20 per cent aa
efficient t they could easily be made.
If the plain dirt roads such as now are
In this county were properly graded
rolled and then dragged regularly the
situation would be tremendously re
lieved.
Fike roads are fine but until we get
them we had better fix what we have
already and make them as good as
possible.
