Neglect to properly maintain mac
adam road after it has been built is
one Of the worst enemies of road re-
form Of which we have knowledge,
says Good Roads Magazine Many
cases are on record of where stone
road has gone to pieces within a very
short time after its completion owing
to negligence in giving the matter Of
repair due attention. Experience shows
that road once properly built can be
maintained indefinitely by making
prompt repair as soon as Il weak spot
is discovered. The practice in Euro
pean countries could we'll he followed
in this country. \ road requires care
and attention for its upkceJ the same
as a railroad track. The original cost
of a macldam road is too great to al
low it to go to pieces within year or
so and then practically rebuild it. Most
failures are due to the fact that no ade-
quate provision for repairs has been
made by the county or state Since
roads cannot take care of themselves,
they must be looked after constantly if
rebuilding is to be avoided

As tie season approaches for heavy
rainfails and the consequent muddy
roads it is well to call the attention Of
road supervisors to the necessity for
seeing to it that bitches and culverts
are open TO allow the free passage Of
water, says Good Roads Magazine
Water is the deadly enemy to road
and should therefore be kept as far
away as possible. In the construction
of new road proper browning and
draining are the two essent' things to
be kept constantly in mini. Keeping
the surface smooth by the use of the
road scraper or drag is all important if
good. passable roads are desired. In
the northern sections of the country,
where deep SHOWS are found in the
winter months, preparations should be
made early for rolling down the snow
or otherwise keeping the roads open
for traffic.
