A "GOODRICH ROAD," BROTHER

The road between this place and Rensselaer is about as bad as it can possibly be. Men, who under ordinary bad road conditions, are in the habit of driving that 13 miles in 30 minutes now have to take an hour to it, or wreck their cars. The Press when these road men started work on that particular section of road that the material they were putting on, because of the way it was applied,, would be worse than wasted. And it’s so. The road would have been far better by this time if it had been left alone. Covering up chuck holes with loose rock never did make a road and. never will and the exceeding dry weather of the past summer has done its share toward making the work a failure. 'Better had they built one or two miles this summer and BUILT it RIGHT than to have cov>ered the whole surface of 13 miles and made it all BAD—Remington Press. i tv. >
