The next thing to be considered will be the modus operandi by which such roads as.have been contemplated can be built By reference to an act of the Legislature of Ohio passed March 27, 1867, and the subsequent amendments thereto, ' we find that ample provisions have been made for such improvements. This act provides, that upon the petition of.a majority of the land owners along and adjacent to the line of such propos ed road, or improvement, to the County Commissioners, they are empowered to authorize the construction of gravel or macadamized roads, i ' ' For the purpose of raising "the neces sary funds to meet the expense of such improvement, the County Commission ers are authorized to issue the bonds of the county payable in instalments or at intervals not exceeding five years, bear ing interest not exceeding seven per cent per annum.payable semi annually. These bonds to be paid by assessment on the real property along such road for a distance of two miles on each side of the line of said road "according to the benefit to be derived therefrom." This assessment shall be divided in such manner as to meet the payment of principal and interest of said bonds, or payable in five yearly instalments, the same as ether taxes are collected. , The cost of such an improvement would therefore be paid in ten semi-annual pay ments by the lands and town property that would be directly benefitted by such an improvement" i"' - , ;? ; -' Under this law Belmont County has already built and in process of con struction some 12 or 15 turnpike roads. They are constructing stone and gravel roads all over the State since the passage of this law and are growing rich there by. For such improvements are not only a great convenience to the county, but they add greatly to the value of the lands. The land owners who are assessed for such improvements will be reimbursed a hundred fold by the increase of the value of their lands.besides the increased profits on their products. For such roads would lessen the cost of transportation at least one half, which would be a net profit to the producer. Let us then wake up on this important subject ; the time has anived for Mon roe to fall in the wake of her neighbor-in- counties, and commenee at once, with life and action to build up our neg lected roads for our main thoroughfares. It will be like "bread cast upon the wa ters to be gathered after many days!" . Enterprisk. In the previous articles we have en deavored, in a brief manner, to trace the subject of roads in all its ramifications, with the provision of laws made espe cially for such improvements. "We now propose to notice Bome of the most eli gible routes for the principal thorough fares through our county. In making these selections special attention should be given to so direct and locate them as to accommodate the greatest number with the levelest and shortest length of road, and also with a view of easy and convenient access to the greatest supply of stone and gravel ; by such precautions thousands of dollars can be saved in their construction. Two or three main trunks or thoroughfares with branch roads leading into them wwuld supply nearly the entire county with turnpike or eravel roads, sufficient to carry Off the products of the country and bring to every town the necessary traffic and merchandise. One of these should commenee either at Lecompton or Lewisville, thence to Woodsfield, and thence to some eligible point on the Ohio Biver. -, From the Iat ter place there are two routes- to the river, either of which would make a orond road. One would pass down o . Standing Stone and Sunfish Creek to Clariuzton ; this route is about 201 miles in length, would make a gentle and easy grade, with an abundant supply of stone and gravel along its entire line. A branch road could be made from Malaga through Jerusalem to Beallsville, distance 6 miles, and from thence down Atkinson's Run and : iutersectinz the Sunfish road at its mouth, a distance of miles ; a good portion of this routo is also well supplied with road material,and easy grade. Malaga would be 20 miles distant from Clarington,' and Beallsville 14 miles. - . ... The other route from Woodsfield would strike the head of Pratt's Bun; thence down said run and np Cranes-nest Creek to its source, crossing at a very low gap on Allen . Eamsey's farm, ou to a branch of Opossum Creek, and down said creek to Nesperlcys bridge; thence up a run crossing a low. gap into Bares' Bun. and down said run to Baresville ; the length of this route is about seven teen miles. " : ' ' ' The only bridge required, on' this route is already built across Opo ssum at Nesperly's mill. This could be made a very gentle grade. A great portion of this roate is naturally a sandy and grav elly soil. Stone and gravel in great Vmndnnr. and verv ' convenient A road could be built on this route, com paratively,at a very small cost a branch of one mile would connect New Castle.'. The othtsr; nam trunk should com mence at Stafford; thence to Graysville, seveu miles, and thence to some suitable point on Cranes nest Creek, on the lands of John Piatt; thence down said creek to its junction with "Witten Fork," and upWitten Fork to the mouth of Trail Run ; thence up said run to its head ; thence down James Run to Cochrans villc, a distanco of 14 miles from Grays ville. V ' Antioch would intersect this" road by passing down a run, through S. A. Mor gan and Henry Huffman's lands to the creek, a distanco of two miles. Browns; ville would intersect this road at the head of James Run, a distance of three miles. " . : , . ' . 1 Thus the towns of Graj'sville, Antioch and Brownsville would be accommoda ted with turnpike privilege3,re9pectively, at an expense of building only 19 miles of road, and including Stafford, only 26 miles to the river. By a careful examination of our coun ty map the reader . will at once see the propriety and utility of this route. ,It unites the combined efforts of six towns and their surroundings in one common interest In the selection or this route there would be no conflicting interests to contend with, while the whole South ern portion of the county would share alike its manifold blessings. - This would make comparatively a level road from Graysville to the river ; the grade could be made so gentle that the inconvenience would scarcely bo per ceptible, and any amount of stone and gravel at hand on its entire line. - ' Even the town of Lebanon could be advantageously ; connected ; with this grand trunk with a road almost level, by passing down "Witten Creek to Clear Fork ; thence down Clear Fork to the main creek ; thence up it and intersecting the Graysville road at the junction of Witten Fork and Crahes-nest creeks, a distance of 13 miles, and making the en tire distance to Cochransville only 20 miles.- !'v '";';i ; By adopting these routes ail our roads would terminate at points on the river within our own county, thereby increas ing her wealth and promoting our own interests. By tracing these proposed roads upon the map it will be seen that they are distributed so as to be condu cive of the greatest good to the greatest number. There are other, roads that should also be made, which will be considered hereafter. ' ' . : Esterpkise. From the Wheeling Register. A Lesson for those who Can tJn- ...... , stand It. From the official report of the pro ceedings of Congress, July 2a, 1866: "Mr. Dawes I am instructed by the Committee on Elections to report back the credentials of J. W Clift and C. H.
