The State Geological Survey is sys-
tematically studying the condition Of
the roads of the state. together with the
methods used in building them and
keeping them in repair. 1t is taking up
this investigation for the purpose of
spreading as widely as possible the
kno Wedge of how to build roads prop
erly and how to care for them in the
most economical and intelligent manner
Particular attention is being paid to the
common dirt roads, as it is evident that
most roads must be made of the dirt
found along the roadway for many years
to come, and therefore information as to
the cheapest and best means of making
such roads will be of greatest value.
Letters enclosing list of questions
concerning the roads in his township
will be sent to each town clerk in a few
days. 1t is important that a complete
set of data such as these questions ask
for should be in the hands of the Geo
logical Survey as soon as possible ANY
person Interested can then find where
the best methods of road work in any
county are being used, and any advice
the Survey may be asked for will be
based on a complete knowledge of condi-
tons which would be difficult to obtain
in any other manner.
Such an investigation as the Geologi-
cal Survey has started must be of the
greatest value It is evident to anyone
who considers the question that much
of the money spent on country roads is
wasted, not wilfully wasted, only ignor-
antly wasted, but wasted nevertheless.
The bad places are fixed" every spring
or fall, only to be ready to swallow up
more money and labor as soon as the
next wet spell is ended. There is over
million dollars spent annually upon the
roads of the state by people who know
but very little of the fundamental prin-
ciples IF road building, and as conse-
quence much of it is wasted. If the
people of the state were to spend mil
lion dollars in any other way they would
insist on wise, economical management.
There is no reason why dirt roads should
not be passable at all seasons of the year
and afford much more use and pleasure
than they do at present to those who
drive over them, if the fundamental
principles are observed by those who
have them in charge. What is first
needed is not more money and labor on
the roads so much as the proper use of
that which is already being expended.
1t is the purpose of the Geological Sur
vey to put itself in position to furnish
information as to the ways of getting the
best results out of the money the people
are already putting into their roads, and
in this way enable them to secure bet
ter roads without adding greatly to their
present expenditures.
The Survey will be glad to hear from
anyone interested in this work concern
ing local conditions.
