As a matter of fact, state money was spent for such purposes more than 75 years ago. Kentucky paid out over $2,000,- 000 for roud improvements between 1820 and 1840 under the direction of #/ state highway engineer, who drew a snlary of $5,000 a year, a very large sum for those days. ‘ The ronds bullt then were 24 -to 30 feet wide bétween the ditches. The surfuces were constructed of broken stone, and the bottoms were of large stones wedged together to make what road builders call a telford foundation, About 1850 business conditions in the country became bad and this work stopped. When It was resumed in 1008 such a long period had elapsed gince the earlier state ald work that 1908 is usually fixed as the beginning of state road work in Kentucky. flv an' Some Try It “\What's the use of cussing so coa: tinuously?” “Ihe darned auto won't go.” “Well, you can’t run it by lung pow- er.”—Brooklyn_Citizen, THE PIONEER WANT ADS 'BRING RESULTS ch himself, $ —Which 1s'About Right— Kingston Whig: An ounce of olfi» CONTRACTOR Tm‘s time religion would ‘probably do the world more good. than a pound of statesmanship. —For Internal Use Only— Comed That, A mw!oham :&L&wfl:h actress £ainted at a perfonmance in: Plain- field, N, J., from the weight of her costume.
