Spend the Money in Road Building.
[Thefollowingarticlelacontrlbuted by the
town improvement committee of the Chautau-
qua Union ]
(New York Times)
A very sensible proposition has been
made as to the disposition of the or per
.. t. tax laid by theaters on the receipts
of the vsrioneaseocietions that race on-
derail! Protection of what is commonly
called the neuron act. Under the law
as it now stands the money raised by this
tax is divided 'emong the agricultural
societies of“ the state. to be awarded in
prises for fat cattle. elephantine bogs,
mountains of mutton, exceptional pump‘
kins, and other farm produce. inciden-
tally a little of the money is given for
improving thcbreéd of horses. But this
is"s mere drop in the bucket. There is a
pretty general impression that the $100,-
Mtht itiscxprctcdtbeiu will raise un-
dertheamendsd law will be practically
throwasway little given to the sari-
euitovai societies.
The farmers of the state and the peo-
ple generally would be more directly
benefited if at least a part of the money
wereuscd in improvingthe country roads
of the state, some of which are in an
abominable condition, as driven who
tr‘avei about the state with their teams
for pleasure or on business can well at-
test. Bicycle riders will bear out the
statement about the miserable condition
of the roads, and every one of them
would heartily approve of the prepaid
plan to spend the race track tea on the
roads. '
There is no doubt that the horsemen
would prefer to have the money which
they pay into the state treasury need for
the building of good roads in those parts
of the state where qurista, both in car-
riages and on bicycles, delight to travel.
Home of the countries and towns are too
poor and others are too aimsrdly to
make any attempt to build good roads in
their territory, though it would prove a
direct benefit to them to do so.
Here is a fund that might be expended
directly on the roads for the benefit of
the whole state, instead of for a «racial
clue, as the tax is now expanded. The
netmssity of good read. is admitted av:
erywhere, nod toher shame it must be
said tlmt New York is far behind New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and some other
stetesinthisreepect. There is no rea-
scnwbythetaxshould not be diverted
frrmrtheagriculture societiu. where a
geodpart of it is confessedly fritmrerl
away, and spent in building gwd roads.
Agitation by the horsemen and wheel-
men of the state would doubtless bring
about the necessary change in the law.
