In spite of tine fine mating and "sum-
mcr floor covering" many country
house furnishcrs are investing in hand
some oriental rugs for the summer
home. One reason Is that they are good
investments. but another is that they
now can be had in pale colors. The
groundwork is often of soft camel col
or, into which are blended shades of
blue, red and old gold. Some of the
beautiful Indian carpets have soft
cream grounds. over which runs light
tracery of colors, while the wide Dor
der is all of deep, rich tints.

THE CARE OF ROADS
IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING A GOOD
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER

ue should Devote His Entire Time
RondbuiIding Wide Tires Pre-
serve Highways.
w. Pierrepont White, secretary Of
the Oneida county (N. " League For
Good Roads, in speaking before the
Utica chamber of commerce recently
about roadbuilding said:
"In roadbuldng the main object is
70 get the greatest length of the best
road for the least money. The best
road will have the location which will
give the best drainage and the easiest
grades and Will serve the most traffic.
The best road will have the design and
construction which will give perfect
a smooth and water tight surface. This
will enable It to shed water with least
delay, to endure frost with least
change, to carry traffic with least Wear,
to carry heaviest loads with least eff
fort, to carry light loads speedily and
with least jolt. The best location and
design of Il road can only be made after
thorough survey and careful location
by civil engineer who has had expert
ence in designing and building roads.
1.-THE man who has charge of the
roads in n town is called the highway
commissioner. What kind of man
should we have as highway commits
Sin Nn u w n = N
give his entire time to the care of the
roads from one end of the year to the
other Each town has upward of sixty
miles of highway to be taken care of.
The New York Central railroad in the
care Of its four tracks between Albany
and Utica, distance of ninety five
miles, has a civil engineer and35 section
bosses in charge of $50 to $50 men in
the summer and 1T5 to 210 men in the
winter, all constantly at work keeping
the rOadbcd free from water and the
bitches open. The proposition which
highway commissioner must meet in
the care of the roads of his town is en-
actly the same proposition that rail
road has to meet in the care of its road
bed.
1.-THE highway commissioner must
be a man who can start in the spring
of the year with pillow, opening the
bitches on each side of the road. This
in town of sixty miles of highways
gives him a furrow 100 miles long to
be opened at the melting of the snow
in order to take the water away from
the surface of the road. This work
must be followed as soon as the earth

is dry enough to handle by his team
and the road scraper The road should
be made wide enough for two teams
to pass easily and crowned to q sutii-
to the bitches. Too high crown pro-
duces ruts when the road is used. Too
low crown holds the water in the
center of the road. The most salts
factory crown calls for n rise of six
inches in the center of an eighteen foot
road. This will throw the water fast
enough to keep the road from getting
soft and does not expose the road to
rutting.
"The SluiceS in each town should be
numbered and record kept of them
and the dates when repairs are made
on them. Wooden sluices should be done
away with and iron sluicesor tile sluiceS
put in their place. The continued renew
al Of wooden sluices is a constant eX-
pense to the town, whereas the intro
duction of tile or iron sluices would
soon provide the town with permanent
sluicing, and very little expense would
be incurred from year to year in their
maintenance. The highway commits
siOner must see to it that the loose
stones are removed from the highways
at least once in thirty days, and a pru-
dent man does it Oftener.
"The highway commissioner should
be an active, energetic man. capable OF
engaging and discharging men in his
employ, capable of handling teams in
the use of the road machines, capable
of building a ditch so that he won't
try to run water up hill, capable of
figuring on masonry for culverts, ca
pable of handling any small contract
and able to lay out his work from year
to year so that the roads can be con-
stantly improved through the operat-
ing of systematic plan of develop.
ment When you have a good highway
commissioner, never let him out OF
office
"lt is worse than useless to create
expensive and valuable highways to
have them only cut to pieces by the
use of narrow tires as now used for
the hauling of heavy loads In this
state. When you have got good
thing, 1t costs you money. and you
must take care of it and change your
methods to help maintain it. Wide
tires are of the greatest value in pre-
serving ordinary dirt roads. A state
wide tire law should be passed. simple
in it's requirements, positive in its en-
forcement and going into operation
two years from this date i'm order to
permit every wagon user to have ample
time to adapt his wagon tires to the
new law In the interest of road main
tenance."
