KURFEES WRITES On Road Work Soon To Be Started In Meadows Township. PERSONAL INTEREST Should Not Hi Considered In the Location and Construction of the Roads. Mr. Editor: I learn with pleasure that the contract for building Meadows township's roads has been awarded. It is evident now that our long dreamed of good roads will soon be a reality. Differences of opinion have existed, and will no doubt continue to exist, as to the advisability of the project now under way. This being the case it will be a hard matter for our road commissioners to please all our citizens in the survey and construction of our r aads. I be hove each of thom to be fair minded men, but I certainly do not envy them their job. I In lieve it lias been, ar.d will cmtinii- 1 to be their constant :;itn to treat everybody fair, and vivo eucli and every citizon in the township a square deal, aftd especially thos? through whose land the roa-.l run*. Hut we who own lav.d along the r ute of ihe highway must remember that our personal interest alone can not l e the guiding rule of sur veyor or commissioners, but on the contrary they must have in mind the interest of every citizen. A slight variation from the route mapped out by the engineer, might now and then be of quite a benefit to the land lord from the standpoint of his personal convenience in the | shaping of his fieid. etc., but from a standpoint of a proper i location for a permanent high iway both for construction and ; maintenance, the case would be quite different. Take for in stance mv own case. I under ' stand the first act of the surveyor was to split right through my ! field in the town of Germanton, ; thus destroying valuable land for farming purposes besides being 1 a town lot. It will greatly in ' convenience me, not only taking my land, but causing me to build considerable extra fence, etc. If they had followed the old road it would have been far better for me personally, but as stated above the best interest of | all the people would not have j been served. I mention my own case only because I know many others S along the route will fare as I haye, some may fare better and some even worse, but I want jto beseech each land owner I along the way to be broad ; minded in this matter. Don't . think for a moment that the j engineer, or either member of the . committee, have anything but ; the best interest of all at heart . and if at times we feel that our j personal interests are being some- Iwhat interfered with, just re ! member that in a short time we can adjust ourselves to the , circumstances. So let's say "go ahead, boys; the road must be I built, place it where you think it will do the greatest good to the ■ greatest number." i Let us all forget self for just a »| little while, and co-operate with | our commissioners and assist ' j them in giving us the best service i nossible, remembering the while : that their task is a hard one, i an undesirable one, and a very ; responsible one. Yours for good roads, and a prosperous and happy com munity. JNO. W. KURFEES. , j March 28 th. 1914. No. 6H5
