The village trustees, who are thorongh believers in good roads, are now building the big roller to bring the streets of the village iiito a condition of perfeotion, saya the Potsdam (N. Y. ) Courier. They have worked most of the principal streets, put on large quantities of crushed stone, and then rolled thoroughly, with the result that the roads are as near perfect as can be desired. The stone crusher outfit has been entireJy built over on a plan which now meets all the requirements of the village at a considerable saving of time and labor. The stone, after going through the crusher, is carried in hoppers on an endless chain over a screen. The screen separates the coarse from the fine stone instead of ïnixing it, as under-the old way. The crnshed stone then drops into wagons, and the crusher is constantly in operatior! instead of stopping after1 rilling a vnigon load, as formerly. The coarse stone is spread on the roads for a foundation then comes the covering of fine stoiK', and the roller finishes the job by smoothing it as firm and hard as a slab of narble.
