THE COST OF BAD ROADS.
Te The Bulletin:
I heard: Dr. Rives tell this yarn at
the Chamber of Commerce banquet in
November last A Brownwood lady
learned that her neighbor across the
fence had a new parrot so she went
ovor to hear him . talk. But when the
parrot opened up she was perfectly
horrified "Where- did ho loam such
language V iter friend explained that
her husband had bouplit him the day
before in Coleman and had brought
him over in a car. I never heard the
parrot express his lor his master's)
opinion of I lie Brownwood and Cole-
Mian road but 1 venture to say that
ho failed to do the aubjoct justice. I
drove over it on Christmae day and
wttiHe I could not say very much out
of deference to others with me what
I tiKMibt would burn water.
jFrow Brownwood to Bans the
road If reasonably passable except for
the bridRes and culverts. I suppose
thore are thirty small bridges and cul-
voyts from Brownwood to Banss and
at evrry ode. there is a splendid chance
to break a spring if you are running
ten miles an hour. But between Bangs
and Santa Anna it is hard to under-
stand why tiie Commissioners Court of
Coleman county has not long ago for
the sake of humanity placarded the
road as impassable and so ended the
misery of the traveling public. Cole-
man county is now building a splen-
did hard surfaced road along there
for which let the Lord be praised but
how about the damage to thousands of
cars for all these years such a condi-
tion has confronted the people pass-
ing through their gates as well as
their own citizens. It is a very im-
portant road one on which you are
ovpr out of sight of a vehicle.
yet one would become convinced that
itMreceives little more attention than
ajiprlvale jane between two backlying
fasins. Much of it. from appearances
lias never been graded at all.
Some of these days after .a few gen-
erations have labored and sweated and
stood for unnecessary repairs on their
Chicles year in and year out some
method of constant supervision of im-
Saut roads is going to be provided.
We are not always going to allow
from one hundred to two thousand
oars to drop into the same holes day

without attention. It was hard enough -
on poor dumb animals when we drove
buggies and wasons -bin when . it
comes to cars that cost anywhere-
from five hundred to sL thousand i
dollars we are going to. wake up to'
the cost of such neglect of the roads.
it is not in my humble judgment so j
much the need of heavy and expensive I
repaiis in one civen place as it ir
