Note 3 — REMARKS ON ROADS.
Reading edition
Broad-wheeled carriages are found to be so unadapted to the purposes of husbandry, the number of horses requisite for their draught so great, and the beneficial effects of them to the road so questionable, that neither the encouragements on the one hand, nor the discouragements on the other, have been sufficient to bring them into general use.
