High price, for all grades of tnatiia!y, together with scarcity of Floor, will tend to mnkf road construction this year more expensive than fvpr before. Ix.spitf these conditions, howerr. many counties are going forward with plan.-!. In most i omni unities the conclusion ha been ir.ichrd that it in wanton wade of invney to proceed with stone or graw-1 highway. Prick and concrete are in favor and so far as Klkhart township is concerned, brick is much preferred oer concrete. Taxpayers in counties where many miles of macadam and crashed stone roads hme been laid at heavy cost now realiz" they have wasted enormous .Minn of money and in not a few instances the.-e hisrhwajH are heing replaced with brick. It is said that in the whole state of Indiana there is not a city having as many strictly high grade improved country roads, leading into it as has Goshen. While these brick highways have cost a his: rmount, the improvements give every indication of beim; permanent. The Fort Wayne, V. Idncoln av. and K. Lincoln a v. brick roads have all withstood the test of winter remarkably well.
