BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Receive Instructions On How to
Make Roads. As

Honorable Board Of Supervisors
Gentlemen -
AS you are almost to enter into a
system of road making, l wish to
make few suggestions preparatory to
making any contracts 'as to have speci-
fications setting forth fully the di-
mensions of road with view to she'd
ding water into the bitches and paw
ing the ditches to carry thS water of.
The first thing to be done Is to run
a line of levels, establish permanent
Bench Marks, grade line Of road and
grade line Of bitches so that the con-
tractor. prior to payments, has his
road and bitches to a grade. Without
the adoption Of some such plan as !
l now speak Of, the county's money
might as well be thrown into the Mis-
sissippi river. wish to call your at
tention to drainage and the establish
ing grade line. The primary cause
of the bad condition of the Greenville
streets is no drainage at all, no at
tempt to grade the bitches, conse-
quently the rain, when it falls, is un-
able to get off.
The Importance of drainage has
been emphasized in the statement
that the three prime essentials to
good roads are first, drainage; second,
better drainage; third, the best drain
age possible.
Run a line of levels, establish
Bench Marks, establish grade line of
road an ditch, make profile as you
would plan for bridge, let the pro-
file be part of the contract prior to
the payments for said road. Run a
line of levels, see that the road and
ditch is to grade. Without this pre-
cautionary measure your attempt at
road building will terminate in a
miserable fiasco, and we will give
up and say it cant be done. You
must go about it in proper manner,
exactly in the same manner as our
railroad and levee budilders do. You
must have grade lines established and
maintained.

For the benefit Of those who may

zona. back againr'' many will say.
"Why, how is it that that old play
is still holding down the fOrt?" An
swering this query is one of the cas-
lest things to do. 1t is still succe ed
ing where others have long since
passed across the dramatic Styx into
the great beyond Of forgetfulness, be-
cause it is full of that great heart and
human interest power which expresse
emotions that ars always knew. It is
play written on the ground floor and
not in the skies The people know
what the playwright is talking about
and what the actors are doing. They
understand what Is going on. In the
words of the street gamin they are
wise to what is doing: they are
next to the situation. It is play
that gets right next to ones heart
and nestles there and never leaves un-
til the crutain falls.
