WHERE THOSE GOOD ROADS ARE Let the taxpayer who is actuated by a sincere desire for the construction of good roads place before him a map of Orange county, and, following the arguments already adduced in these columns upon the subject, let him measure the main highways centering at the county seat, and he will arrive at an approximate estimate of the location and cost of the paved roads now engaging the attention of the good-roads committee. From Santa Ana to San Juan the distance is 20 miles. To pave this road under provisions of the Savage act will cost $120,000. From Santa Ana to Huntington Beach the distance is 14 miles. To pave this road, as we have already shown, at twice the cost of other roads in the county, will cost not less than $140,000. Run a line east and west across Orange county, locating it at the southern extremity of Santa Ana, and one will find that north of this line lies 90 miles. FULLERTON'S END OF If the good-roads come which may be called into effect later should determine, given out at the recent F meeting, to connect that burg with Buena Park on and with Placentia on what will there remain good people of Fullerton to Section 12 of the act authorizing municipality to issue paving city streets which with portions of the paved road. Thus the people of ton would have to issue paving Spadra road north south three miles and Co wealth and Chapman avenues miles east and west, to join these outlying county the fares. Here are nine miles of city which will cost not less than 000 per mile to pave, or $ as an outlay contingent upon outlying good roads coming gates of the municipality. The county will expendibly $10,000 upon these mi stretches of paved roadway the town of Fullerton is auth to expend $135,000 in order them through the town. Will Placentia avenue be north to the Tuffree corner then east to Richfield, and road leading south from Park to the Garden Grove minster line be similarly tr Beach the distance is 14 miles. To pave this road, as we have already shown, at twice the cost of other roads in the county, will cost not less than $140,000. Run a line east and west across Orange county, locating it at the southern extremity of Santa Ana, and one will find that north of this line lies 90 per cent of the taxable wealth as well as the population of the county. Yet these two roads, lying in the region entirely south and southwest of this line, require more than half the entire half-million bond issue now under discussion. Rather a large disbursement of public money, it seems to us, in a region paying a tenth of the burdens imposed by these roads upon the county. From Santa Ana west to Garden Grove, Westminster and Bay City is 20 miles. To pave this road will cost $120,000. When Huntington Beach and Bay City were clamoring for exclusion from Orange county in the halls of the legislature last winter, basing their contention upon the fact that little or no county money had been expended upon the public roads in those districts, the people of Santa Ana promised them that, if the county-division scare were never again repeated, the best roads in the county would be constructed between those towns and the county seat. Does the taxpayer suppose these roads will not be among the first to be constructed in the event of the success of the bond issue? From Santa Ana east and northeast we allow ten miles of paved highway, joining the towns of Orange and El Modena, where the Hon. Mr. Bishop lives. This road will require $60,000. Here we have a total of $540,000 among the first to be constructed in the event of the success of the bond issue? From Santa Ana east and north-east we allow ten miles of paved highway, joining the towns of Orange and El Modena, where the Hon. Mr. Bishop lives. This road will require $60,000. Here we have a total of $540,000 apportioned to these highways centering about the county seat, and as yet not a dollar appropriated to the Third supervisor district, which polls within 200 votes of a third of the entire vote of the county. With the highway extending northward from Santa Ana to this city and Fullerton, with a mile and a quarter of road joining Fullerton with Buena Park, and an eighth of a mile joining Fullerton with Placentia avenue, we should have, as we showed last week, less than five miles of paved roadway in this district. Five miles out of the 86 miles mapped out by the committee now engaged in the task of educating the people up to the good-roads standard! This seems like anything but a just distribution of this money, and there must be a new deal or the Third district will vote as a unit against this proposed bond issue. HERTON'S END OF IT good-roads commission may be called into existence should determine, as was at the recent Fullerton to connect that thriving Buena Park on the west Placentia on the east, there remain for the sake of Fullerton to do? 12 of the act authorizes quality to issue bonds for any streets which connect portions of the paved county thus the people of Fullerton have to issue bonds for Padra road north and free miles and Common Chapman avenues six and west, to join with paying county thorough- nine miles of city streets cost not less than $15,- mile to pave, or $135,000 may contingent upon these good roads coming to the municipality. County will expend probation upon these miniature paved roadway, while Fullerton is authorized $135,000 in order to join through the town. Placentia avenue be graded the Tuffree corner and Richfield, and will the long south from Buena Garden Grove-West-be similarly treated? HOW FARES BUENA PARK? Tonight the propaganda of good roads will be laid before the people of Buena Park. Let the Park residents, whom we have found to be among the most intelligent in the county, take a birdseye view of the map of Orange county and see just how this good-roads movement affects them. If present plans of the committee handling the subject are carried into effect, as seems entirely probable, Anaheim and Fullerton will be joined by the Camino Real. The committee, speaking upon this subject at the Fullerton meeting, gave it out that Fullerton and Buena Park would be joined by this highway. Let the intelligent Buena Park resident look at the map and see what this means. The incorporated limits of Fullerton approach to within a mile and a quarter of Buena Park. After arriving at the Park, where will this paved highway continue? Will it be north or west to the county line? Hardly, for the Camino Real has been already laid out through La Habra to a junction with the Los Angeles county line. Will the road from Buena Park south to Westminster be paved, or will the road leading east from the Park along Orangethorpe avenue be thus improved? We venture to say the committee which will be at the Buena Fullerton is authorized $135,000 in order to join through the town. Acentia avenue be graded the Tuffree corner and Richfield, and will the long south from Buena Garden Grove-Westside be similarly treated? Acentia avenue be graded Crowther's corner and this city? Col. Finley would publish his map and matters once and for all.

We venture to say the committee which will be at the Buena Park meeting this evening know perfectly well where these improved roads will be, and we doubt not the committee, backed by the good-roads people in the southern end of the county, will be entirely able to make the commission see these things in the same light later on. If Buena Park is really to be educated by this committee of education, here is one of the most vital points at issue. Let the Park inquire just where these roads are to be. And let the committee answer the question; instead of dodging it as it did at the meetings in this city and Fullerton. Is Buena Park to be given a mile and a quarter of paved roadway joining it with Fullerton, will Orangethorpe avenue be paved, or will it be joined with the Westminster-Garden Grove highway? The Park is entitled to know these things. What excuse can the committee offer to honestly replying to these questions? We publish in another column a communication from Col. Finley giving his position upon the good-roads movement. We are always glad to hear from the Colonel, and especially upon the subject of good roads which is now engaging so large a share of the attention of the people, and in which he is very properly taking an active part. We commend the perusal of his letter to our readers. Harriman's Combination Washington Davis tells herey as a seaside resort. The magazine is given to paragraphs.

We commend the perusal of his letter to our readers. Harriman's Combination There is considerable hesitancy on the part of the administration as to whether to institute prosecutions against the Harriman railroad combination or not. The special attorneys who have been engaged on the case hold that such a prosecution would be legally successful. The supreme court at any time may render a decision on the law in the case that will make the success assured. Yet there is hesitation. Such a prosecution against the Harriman lines would eventually hit all the other great systems of the country. It would force the dissolution of the Southern system, the breaking up of what is known as the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, the disintegration of the Boston and Maine, and make the New York Central let go its hold on the Erie. It would mean a wholesale revolution of the railroad policy of the country, and would prevent the combination and cheapening of transportation that can come from the unification of several roads if the combination is honestly managed. The question seems to have resolved itself from a matter of law into one of public policy, and the decision of the government as to what it will do in the matter is awaited with more than ordinary interest.
