built, two with reversible graders and
one with an elevating grader, all op-
Grated by experts. In addition, six
kinds of road drags were exhibited and
five were operated at the school. These
included, besides the widely known
King drag, the V drag the Stevenson
ditch cleaner" the Russell road lev
eler and the Smith steel road drag.
These drags were all shown and oper-
ated by the inventors, themselves, and
it was made plainly apparent that all
can do first-class work. So much in
terest was aroused in these road drags
that the commission has decided to
thoroughly test each kind on a section
of earth road and to report the results
in a bulletin.
mo feature Of the many demonstra-
lions in road construction attracted
more attention than the building of a
reinforced concrete culvert. At the
present time many road experts in
Iowa are carefully considering the ad-
visibility of displacing expensive and
unsatisfactory wooden culverts with
durable structures of concrete reen-
forced with steel. The commission
has prepared standard plans and speci-
fcations of simple and inexpensive
concrete culverts for distribution
among Iowa road officers"

were rendered a fitting climax to
the week of instruction by a re-.

enjoyed the remaining hours to
the utmost extent. The music

sixty in number. The dainty re-
freshments were ser we'd as only
an ideal bachelor can, and the
early morning hours founda tired
merry crowd who had entire
