I tell you, 8ir,wlpa i itilak of the glorj OUR ROADS. of McHenry County: As the president and secretary of the agricultural board of oar oouaty. In council with the mayor ot the Olty of Woodstock and the supervisor and town clerk of the town of Dorr, delegated to me the honor of representing the Inter­ ests of these several organizations at the late convention of commissioners of highways, held at Springfield, In ac­ cordance with the spirit or a resolution of eaid convention to the elfeot that each delegate prepare and have pub­ lished In their respective county papers an epitome of the deliberations of sild convention, as well as In acoordanoe with my own Ideas as to the manner of makliigsu.'hdeliberations the most pro­ ductive of good, I will attempt, briefly to discharge the duties thus made lo­ cum brent uaon me as such delegate. I only had a few hours' notice of my ap­ pointment before starting on my ml<- «lon, and consequently had nu tine to lay plans of usefulness in the perform­ ance of my duties; I therefore resolved to enter the convention as a student and to the be-t of my abitity * observe anc' preserve whatever was found on or >n tending to aid re ot highways la ttwlr complicated and arduous duties and the peoole in securing at the least cost the best possible roads leading from their farms to the markets. And It Is with very much of local pride that I state that, judging by the discussions of the resolutions, the resolutions PS and the sentiments of the several papers read In regard to the "tihjoct of road building. McHenry coun ty, and p irtlcularly the town of Dorr, have reason to conxrutulat* the eitl- zens thereof of belmr far In advance of the average of the|State on this import- tut subject of road making. And I at- tilbute this advanoe to vtri^ui oause>. among which 1 will mention that the town of Dorr and sever! other towns of our county adopted the cash in lieu of the labor system at the fir«i. opportunl ty under the statute, and the result has iatfsfted our citizens that the cash sys­ tem Is muoli the more economical and efleet!ve; then ag*ln. we have the.grav el fo-ind at convenient distances from the lines ol road to be built or improv­ ed; and still again our tax payers have freely paid their assessments, onlv de­ manding economy aud good roads in return. Another cau** of this advanoe Is. we have been favored In tbe choice of commissioners of liighwavs who are men of good judgment and who have «ought to discharge their aeveral du­ ties, no in pile tied and difficult as they are, so as to do "the greatest good to the greatest number." I learned, further, that the conyen- tlou was a unit on tbe subject of road draiuage,--that Is, that It is of tlia ut­ most importance that the water be kept from the road bed, as water Is possessed of such dissolving power that it would require the solid rock or bed of Iron to resist Its destroying influence. As to the best manner of drainage there was a variety of suggestions, but the one which struck me an the most likely to prove effectual, as near as 1 can describe It, would seem to require ample open side d-tcbea two or three feet be ow the road bed. with tile drainage nearly or quite as low, by pacing (lie parallel with the wheel truck twelve to twenty luches outside of the wheel track on either side. A road bed thus prepared is ready for the grading and gravel; and this should he performed with skill and good judg­ ment. The grade slope from the crown »r center Hue of the road should not extend to the side ditobes, but should Hop several feet short, leaving a level space between the grade and the ditch, and thus in soaoe measure afford a place of deposit for wash or waste which has a constant tendency to make its way. from t'te orown of the grade to the ditch, filling in and destroying Its drainage force. Then sewer pi pes of sufficient calibre should be placed transversely to'tbe grade wherever it would materially aid the side dftolies In conveying the water from the road bed. And further, on tbe subject of grading and graveling, the stretches should be completed to an even and uniform grade.as the work progresses; since the more uniform and even tbe surface of the grades'is left, tbe more durable will the road be, for the reason that wherever there is an uneven sur­ face. the wsgon. In pass'n^ from the elevation to the depression, obtains a momentum which will tend to scoop, so to speik, the depression deeper, and thus tbe road Is rendered an automatic destroyer, while on the other hand. If tbe grade Is even tbe wagon moves with uniform weight, and Instead of being a road destroyer becomes a ruatJ packer and perfecter. And, If possible, the traveling public should be induced to make the first track as nearly on the crown of tbe grade as possible and as nearly oo a parallel line with the grade, and I have often thought and am now of the opinion that economy would be advanced if the commission­ er* of highways would require theli all win forming a pattern for the first track Is irregular, therein. It Is a self-evident roads would last In » better < If for loaded of norrow tire were used, becanse the broad tire would pack the road harder and render it more difficult of i whereas the narrow tire the road and wear It out. on exhibition a great variety of: making machines, which I will not In this article, take the time or i describe, no one ot which. In my opinion. Is not preferable to the old fashioned dirt scraper. I will say however, that there Is such a variety tochoote fro n, it would be well to latisfie I of their respective Among those which seemed to meet approval were the New Era Grading and dltohing Machine, the Common Sense Grader, Pen nock's Patent Road Machine, the "Boss" Road Grader, the Moore Ro id Grader and Ul \ , and Lam bora Road MtftAe. were others but as I MM to get cards or catalogues I im tinable to give a more extensive list but I trust ne on exhibition will be In the published proceed Ings and extensively furnlehed for dls- tribu'ion among the people. ^ To the sentiments embodied to maii of the resolutions passed by the eon- ventlon our next legislature will do well to give careful thought, and there were some which did not p <ss which will appear In the published proceed­ ings of tbe convention well worthy of consideration. The suggestion con­ tained in the able and interest I itg pa­ per by Col C. F. Mills. Secretary of tbe State Board of Agriculture, in re­ gard to county supervision of roads* not be allowed to pass into a state of "innocuous deseulu<l«," but should be dl«cu«*Nd freely as to it* merits and demerits; also 'he proposi­ tion to have but one commissioner of highways Instead of three, has Its two and should not be laid aside as ii of thought; likewise the subject of labor or cash system should be csre'ully considered, especially by ^ those tow as which have not tried the cash system. The question of making ConvetjtiorMt ^ a permanent organiz itlon was much discussed and developed a strong feel­ ing th*t good results had already been realized through the*e convent ions and that more were to follow. It ap­ pears to me that if oonducted bv prac­ tical, Intelligent men. such as we have In every town in the State, good must come of their, contlnusnce. No ooe mind ever did or evr will be able to carry all the knowledge of all things, consequently it U by comparison of thought with thought thtt the survi­ val ot cie fittest is obtained. As tbe proceeding of the convent! »n are to be published In full and extensively distributed throughout the State, and aa this article is already longer than was originally designed, I will close with an appeal to our County Board of Agriculture and town Commissiouers of Highways. In their representative capacities, and to all enterprising citi­ zens In their Individual capacities, to give to this very important subject of road improvement a more careful thought and attention. Good roads will add to the value of your farms, of your produce, and of i our stock, and to your pleasure and comfort, and as values, pleasure and comfort seem to be the objective points ot our aim, nothing should be neglected which will add thereto. In closing I respect­ fully suggest tbe ne> eslty of a county organization as an adjunct of theso State gatherings so that some uniform method of road improvement may be adopted by our several towns, thus In­ suring the best, possible, which must at the same time Insure the most oconom- ical toads, and to this end respectfully suggest that county organization would be most likely to ttyrive under the patronage of our Board of Super­ visors, and In case they a* a body neg­ lect or decline to take early actloo In this behalf, I would respectfully sug­ gest that our County Board of Agri­ culture would be a proper body to take the 6ubjejt under consideration, since everything In the Interest of agricul­ ture Is within Its provinoe, aud road Improvements certainly are in the lu­ te rest of agriculture.
