Now in the amendment just passed hy the Legislature no discussion wa* held and it was apparently rnshed through as a trivial matter. But when the county council* begin to act upon it trouble will nocessnrily begin between the farms and the towns which will compel the Ijegls- latnre to give this serious problem more serious attention in the next session of tho legislature.

We aro not struggling to prevent traffic between the country and tbe town, but we hold, aud tbe farmer holds, that it is fifty times as useful to havo a good road from the farm to its nearest mar­ket as to improve long stretches of already good roads, which parallel trolley lines and railways capable of doing the hulk of the work.
