My Dear Sir:—Since our talk on veaterda, ut Butler I have read and studied very carefully the copy of “Speciticntions” for road work re- uvired to be done in Summit Town- ship. Bites county, [have compar- ed the lawa governing such cases, and after euch careful investigation Iam th ronehly satisfied that you are onthe right track. The general plan outlined by yon and the method of proceedure you have adopted con- form very nearly to our conception of an IDEAL road ayate™. Ata state road convexiuu held ai Lexington, Mo, Dec. 9th and 10th, 1897, at which convention a large delegation from all parts of thestate were present, and after nearly two days of careful discussion by brainy thoughtful men adopted as oue of the vital principles of a road system the following resolutions: 1, That we favor the contractays temof working our public roads; and 2. Road cistriets not less than six miles square nor more than one municioal township, and under the rere ofa board of three supervisors (imit)d to service) who shall have authority to contrast the work with in their districta or employ services as their ijndyment may direct. 8 That all taxes both poll and SYSTEM ENDORSED. | oBeYs instructions. property shonld be paid in cash. The “Lexington resolutions” be eame the platform of onrassociation and from that day to this we have steadily worked to extend the plan The State Board of Agriculture be- came convinced that our association bad the right conception of what were the business principles needed ina road system and have from that day to this had a department of Good Roads” and have assisted in carrying forward the work. A committee was appointed at the Lexington convention to have a bill drawn and presented before the ses- sion of the legislature in 1899. This was done and the bills drawn by the association amending and harmoniz- ing the lawa of our state, so that the contract system should be adopted throughout the state were passed and became laws, but these laws have been modified some since. Our association did not get all they claimed. But our central thought was the adoption of such a system as +o allow the work to be done by cou- tract or by “employing services as the judgement of the Board might direct.” But our legislators were disposed to make the “contract sys tem” 100 rigid, and it seemed im- possible to get them to giveitenough elasticity so as to allow the Board to exercise their judgement as to how it should be done. Now a con- tract presupposes —_ specifications, and these are the work of the Board, they must think out what the char- acter of the work shall be, and the manner of doing it. all this must be done in advance. Now in your case thisis done, and so far as I can judge wisely and carefully done. These specifications are a guide to the con- tractor for the performance of the work. But road building is a prog. ressiveart and there might arisecon- tingencies when it would be very im- portant to modify or change some parts of the plans as the work pro- gressed. This will in all probability occur, and I think you have very wisely provided for just such eon tingencies and for others in section 9 of specifications, your Board may for cause annul (or change) the con- tract, and this is what you are likely to do, and proceed to have the wor! done by an expert road boss under the general supervision of the Board. Thattheconception of thecontract system embodied in the Lexin; reso'utions is a correct one and the proper basis of an ideal road system the International Good Roads Asso- ciation held at Buffalo, N. Y , Sept., 1901, this very question was very fully discussed, and there were dele- utes therefrom several foreign coun- ties and from many statee of this Union. Hon. John Hamilton, secre tury of the Board of Agriculture of Pennsylvania, presented the question of contract system, cash revenues and intelligent supervision. His speech was often appluuued showing the hearty endorsement by the cou- said: y “We must have in every locality a Board of intelligent men informed in road matters which will have charge of the foads.ia that community, a that will acquire the best in formation to be had on the subject. 1 want to bring some testimony At|- tention. Amongst other things he * * * Who shall leok after the BOARD OF sUPERVISORS. That man understands road building, and HE He is under no obligations whatever to the men who work under him, but is responsible simply to the board and his position depends on whether he obeys orders or not. So you see that Mr. Hamil- ton’s idea corresponds quite closely to ours. I think your tdea of getting up de- finite specifications is a capital one, a are a guide in a general way and are instructions to your road boss in absence of other specific ones. T see but one weak place in your con- ditions now and that is the poll tax payable in labor, but if your cash re- venues are very much the larger that need not disturb, but in cases where the larger part of revenues are labor it is impossible to use the contract system efficiently. Hoping that our visit to your county may prove to have been beneficial, and hoping that all of you may have swooth high- ways which I am sure you can have the most of the year, I remain.

Sibert said to us the other day, hereafter the Republicans of Homer and Charlotte had better get some old woman to manage their campaign. There must be cranks to bring about any movement. The masses never introduce a new movement. Clate Wolfe and J. H. Park, of Park Town, Martin and Rubel, of Virginia, and Jim Keaton, of Elkhart, are working on the DeWard King plan of making good roads. Had the majority between Virginia and Butler adopted the plan six weeks ago, by this time the roads would have been in pretty good condition, but the masses are found working for their own interest and not that of their fellows.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the g:eat kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night.
