This road proposition will be carried out like you farmers desire and iut by and 'court house ring." Macadam roads have proved a failure. Mecklenburg erected a sys tem of so-called permanent maradam roads. For about five years they lasted fine, then one fine morning they awoke up to the fact they had no roads.
