to be carried is to be over 1 000 lbs. the

Good Roads.
While the S4bjc ct of good roads is be
ing so extensively discussed, and the
time for the- Hireling of our state legisla
ture is drawing near, it does seem to me
Uutt all who are in favor of gooil roads,
or in favor of improving the roads in any
way, should come forward iind speak out
in such a maimer that every member of
the House of Representatives would rea
lize the Uct that they are not properly
representing their constituents without
passing laws for the improvements of
our public road.
Hut who has any thing to suggest in
regard to the plan of improvements of
roads, The casual observer would posi
bly say, the improving of rods is but a
small mutter, ami any person is capable
of road overttetiig, or of superintending
the working of raids, But I claim that
it require.! man especially qualified, if
he would be a good road supervisor.
