New Jersey and Massachusetts • made ade groat headway in the Im- provement of their highways. But the State of Connecticut tea adopted the moat radical legislation of all the m states ti; secure good ads. In• 111b an Art was passed pledging the state to pay one-third the cwt of one mile of road in each town each year if the county and the town will each payst one -treed. The coof one mile of road is estimated act 23000. A poor town is by Ode neons enabled to get a mile of geed road at a direct cost to Itself of but HMO. and the most of the general state and county Dort falls on the richer towns and. cttiea. A better device could hardly be improvementrd for encouraging road improvement In the poorer regions. Eighty -floe towns availed themselves of the law now,last year. and 75 now, have already swung into line In PM. These are about two thirds of all the towns in the Nutmeg State.

In the good roads section of New Jersey It la almost the rule that the basement of a dwelling contains a wheel for every member of the family Mitt can walk The farmer and them io farmer's wife end family in these se tns think nothing of a 12 to 20 miles' run into the city on their wheels. With the extension of good roads, the bicycle will aflame the "deserted farm" cry. No one 1s likely much to mind living 12 miles from the centre of life and bustle If an hour's' easy riding will take hint there. The Ontario Gov- ernarent ought to seriously consider some such legislation as that which has been maned In Connecticut. The Government would be as much justl- fled in spending money for emproving the highways throughout Ontario as it was in Dom aing Prov-tnchal runways. The new Road impactor should not In confine himself to attisoting the mu- nicipalities In tbe mechanical construe - ton of roadways. Hi.

It was said that all the toads 1n II ,ustun county were made by twn- vlcts There were no Ja!ls fur petty offenders; but as fast as convicted. they were sent out to the chain gang and put to work.

If a drunkard, a thief or a wife -beater were made to understand that jailing meant bard and constant labor on the road. such people would think a good many times before they duplicated the crime that formed them Into such service. As to the character of the work done by these Georgian convicts, there can be no doubt of its value. I have never seen neater wet done on a country mad. They went straight through a rough country. cutting through hills and tilling low places in a thoroughly workmanlike manner.

When the roadbed had been pre- pared by ,excavation k was carefully refiled, regardless of expense, with layers of sand. stones and cement The surface was so solidly dressed that the wear and tear was reduced to a minimum. Investigations with regard to the preparation of the roadbeds were made years ago by Bei-gler on Roman reads that are still In use in Prance. and with the following re- sults : to one road the excavation down to hardpan was three feet deep. This trench was Ailed up flrat with a layer of sand and oement an inch thick; then came • foot layer of flattish stones and cement; then a foot layer of man traveled stones and cement.
