THE annual report of State
Highway Commissioner 3ns.
H. Mncdonald for tbe calen
dar year 1900 was presented
recently. It Is a voluminous nnd Im
portant document, reviewing the va
j rlous aspects of highway Improve
' ntents In Connecticut under the Ntate
; Aid set.
In speaklug of tho present State
highway law the Commissioner says;
| ;Tbe policy of the Btnte liaj been al
| most universally accepted as n wise
i one by the towns. The present law
j has lieen nccepted by thirty.-ninetowns
; which bavo never before participated
in State nld, making a total of 153
, towus which have applied for State
assistance under (his law. The fact
demonstrates that the law of 1800 is
the niosP popular under which wj
! have worked. This Is principally due
| to the liberal assistance by the SUtJe
1 nnd (he wise provision lu the law al
lowing tbe Commissioner to meet the
conditions by which the town Is sur
rounded. Almost all of the objections
offered by the towns In regard to for
mer laws are removed under the pres
ent law. It will bo Impossible, how
ever, to draft any law that will be en
(lrely freo from objection, for It Is Im
possible to build any law that cannot
be Improved in soine respects.
| "The present law, governing as It
I does the whole of the action >«f the
| State nnd town on a liberal plan of
I financial assistance, and broadening
j the policy of the Stnte In the method
of construction, and nlso keeping well
within control of the State the whole
| movement, has enlarged tbe Held of
i work for the Commissioner nnd has
I reduced somewhat the Jurisdiction of
' the towns accepting State nld; but
so far every change from the laws of
1805 and 1807 hns~becn very much
more beneficial lo the towus and
around the whole movement safe
guards that have already .demonstrate
j ed Its worth.
j "It has never been the policy of the
' State to be unpleasantly arbitrary la
, her dealings with the towns, nlthotigh
i at the outset of the movement It was
| difficult,to have all towns understand
| this. Ah the work has progressed
| the towns have bceu brought Into a
j fulL knowledge of the attlttide bf the
Hrate.
"It was at first thought by many
j people of our State that when the
| roads throughout the. villages were lm
| proved the Interest would die out, and
! that a vote for the improvement of
i others would not be had. On the con
trafjrfThe desire for a general Improve
; tnent of the roads In all towus In
which wo have constructed roads la
; Increasing rather tliau diminishing.
I which fact, speaks well for the future
of the good roads movement.
! "1 have many times Improved four,
: five and six sections on a main high.-
} way with an appf >pl'tttl ton*' f SIOOO,
and while each section Would not ex
' tend over many lineal feet of road the
| sections selected are places that had
I been for years a weak spot on the
i road, and would have been Improved
' long ago had the town been Unau-
I daily able to so do. It stands to rea~
j son that If a road having live or six
] bad places at different points on a
j road six miles long, nnd tliese bad sec- "
j tioiis eau be removed for SIOOO, there
| by rttflaimlugand making a good road
i of the live or six miles? It hi money
well Invested. As a matter of fket, the
I largest return far the money invested'
! Is tiie Improvement of these sectional
pieces of-road throughout the State."
| Commissioner Macdonald makes tills'
| protest against the old .drag scraper:
j"I have seen thousands of dollars
| wasted with (his old-time practice of
j pulling the washings from the .i'oad
j back on the road. The road scraper
I properly used Is n great assistance to
| our country roads and a saving of a
| large amount of. money and time If It
, Is Intelligently used. The old drag sera
; per system Is a back number, aud
i should remain so. It Is the lack of
' knowledge of how to use a road sj-ra
j per and not the hjiul scraper that is
! to be condemned, it would be better,
j in the use of the road scraper when
| the sand washings are found In the
' KUtter to-lift up the blade and let the
| washings lie where the rain left tlieiu,
| mid go ou nud drop the blade only Into
! good material, and thus leave the road
J In a passable condition, Instead of
elglit Inches deep, as I have often seen
j if with worn-out road scrapers."
The Commissioner does not think it
| wise to attempt to build n macadiuu
| system throughout the folate. The pol
l icy of the State has bean not to extend
j the building of macadam beyond Its
natural growth. Cnder the present
system the towns have latitude lu se
lectlng such kinds of roads ns they
j desire. t
111 addition to the work that has
| been done during the last two years
j under this appropriation there were
| remaining thirty-three towus to be
finished the tlrst year of the appro
j priailon. which represented twenty
* miles.
The amount of moucy that .Will be
j used lu the appropriations ou the part
of the State and towus during the last
I two years will be s4ti7,sftO.
The total miuiber of miles that will
be finished with the appropriation nu
d.sr the contracts let for the last two
years is 1000.—New York Tribune,
l)»wit of m »w Km.
We are ut ike dawn of a new era In
road building, which promises lu the
I Arm quarter of the twentieth century
' to cover our country with a system of
1 hardened way* which will be used not
ouly by wagons and carriages, but by
